The
Bucking Stock Connection is not an Auction Service. Although we
are referred to as an “Online Auction” web site it
is important to realize that we are not a traditional "auctioneer."
Instead, The Bucking Stock Connection acts as a venue to allow
rodeo stock breeders to buy and sell rodeo stock in an auction-style
format commonly referred to as "online auctions" or
"auctions." We are not involved in the actual transaction
between buyers and sellers. As a result, we have no control over
the quality, health, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the
ability of sellers to sell items or the ability of buyers to pay
for items. We cannot ensure that a buyer or seller will actually
complete a transaction. Consequently, we do not transfer legal
ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer, all transactions
are made between the seller and the highest bidder at the close
of the auction.
The
Bucking Stock Connection is not a Classifieds. We are not a website
to advertise stock for sale. By placing stock for sale on The
Bucking Stock Connection you are consigning them to be sold to
the highest bidder. Also by placing any item for sale on The Bucking
Stock Connection you are agreeing to all terms and conditions
set forth by The Bucking Stock Connection and will adhere to all
consignor rules. Failure to follow rules will forfeit your right

you have the right to post a reserve to be met. A reserve is the
minimum bid that you will accept on the item consigned.

and your name will appear on "The Blacklist" on The

will stop, tenatively, at the scheduled time. At this time, The

those 15 minutes, bidders are actively bidding, the auction will
remain open until the timing of the bids lapses beyond a 15 minute
increment.
This will give everyone a chance to place 'the last bid'.
Who
knows when it will end if we get a "bidding war"!
