and on your invoice. In any case, MNA expressly retains the right in their sole and complete discretion, to
change or limit the acceptable forms of payment based upon an individual bidder’s particular
circumstances.
• Buyer’s Premium: A “Buyer’s Premium” of 18% of the final hammer price shall be added to each invoice.
Occasionally, the exceptionally prompt payment of invoices by either, and sometimes both, onsite and
online Bidders will net a generous discount in the Buyer’s Premium charged. Please check Sale-Specific
Terms and Conditions posted on our Website and/or on the catalog the day of the sale for more
information and to see if any such discount applies to the auction you wish to participate in.
• Sales Tax: Applicable sales tax will likewise be added to the purchase price of all taxable items. All
resellers need to contact Abraham Torres at (818) 788-2260 to make arrangements to either fax or email
a copy of their Resale Certificate or other state issued certification of exempt status to our office at least
24 hours prior to the day of auction. Any reseller not doing so risks their exempt status for that auction
and, if sales tax is charged, will be required to seek a refund of those monies directly from the state taxing
authority in the state in which the auction is held. ONCE COLLECTED, MNA WILL NOT REFUND STATE
SALES TAX – NO EXCEPTIONS. Lots not paid for (and removed by published deadline and per the terms of
removal, below) may be resold at public or private sale without further notice and any deficiency,
together with all expenses of that resale and/or removal, will be charged to the defaulting purchaser.
Removal:
Purchased lots will not be released until payment has been received in full. Wire transfers must clear in order
for payment to be considered “received in full”
• Standard Removal Hours: Removal of purchased assets shall begin per the Sale-Specific Terms &
Conditions, which may be found in the auction catalog, on the MNA website at:
www.machinerynetworkauctions.com and on the invoice emailed winning bidders at the conclusion of
the auction event. Unless specifically stated otherwise in the Sale Specific Terms, absolutely no
purchased assets may be removed before (i) the conclusion of the Sale and (ii) payment is made in full. A
marked “Paid in Full” invoice and properly executed “Third Party Release” (whenever applicable) must be
presented to MNA or other designated facility personnel and any item(s) removed from the premises must
be verified against that invoice and signed out as received by both the buyer and operations staff.
Standard hours of removal shall be Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, local facility time, unless
otherwise posted at the facility, advertised on the MNA website or by special arrangement, in writing and

completed and Payment in full has been made (each Invoiced lot and any other invoiced line item – sales
tax, Buyer’s Premium, etc. – must be paid). If two (2) people cannot safely lift, carry and load an item
without any mechanical assistance whatsoever, then a rigger must be used on its removal. Any lot not

public or private sale and/or scrapped by MNA, in their sole discretion, without further notice and the
costs of same shall be charged to the defaulting buyer.

to any other country or to any person other than the authorized ultimate consignee or end-user(s), either
in their original form or after being incorporated into other items, without first obtaining approval from
the U.S. government or as otherwise authorized by U.S. law and regulations. Compliance with these
regulations can take days or even weeks and is beyond the control of MNA staff. All bidders are urged to
