item. Your Maximum bids are kept confidential and not available for other bidders to see. Any bidder can raise or
lower a maximum bid at any time prior to the close of the auction.

auction, any bidding activity on an item within 3 minutes of the closing time will automatically extend the bidding
for 3 more minutes past the time of the last bid. The bidding on that lot will continue to remain open in 3 minute
intervals as long as there is bidding activity within 3 minutes of the previous bid. Once there is no bidding activity
for a 3 minute period, the bidding on that item will close.

will result in all appropriate legal action. Any invoice not fully and properly paid for in the allotted time will be
charged to the credit card account presented at registration and the items forfeited. Delinquencies will be noted
and will prevent the individual from participating in any further live or online auctions conducted by Wardlow

Are Antique Guns Subject to FFL Transfer Requirements? According to the National Firearms Act of 1986,
“any firearm manufactured prior to 1898 and not designed to use rimfire or centerfire ammunition is exempt
from the act. This includes firearms that use flintlocks, matchlocks or percussion caps for the ignition system”.
(Thus, a firearm made prior to 1898 that uses rimfire or centerfire ammunition is subject to FFL transfer
requirements).

Why is a Background Check Required? Our clients, and we, want to be assured that the sale and transfer of the
guns are in compliance with the law. In the event that these guns are subsequently stolen from or sold by the
buyer and used for illegal purposes, our clients want to be free of any liability regarding the sale and use of the
guns.

If you have any questions regarding the background check, pick-up, or shipping of firearms, please contact Joe at
Ops Supply at (502) 835-1801.
