  1. OK Code
  2. Title 12A

(1) In a sale by auction if goods are put up in lots each lot is

the subject of a separate sale.

(2) A sale by auction is complete when the auctioneer so

announces by the fall of the hammer or in other customary manner.

Where a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a

prior bid the auctioneer may in his discretion reopen the bidding or

declare the goods sold under the bid on which the hammer was

falling.

(3) Such a sale is with reserve unless the goods are in explicit

terms put up without reserve. In an auction with reserve the

auctioneer may withdraw the goods at any time until he announces

completion of the sale. In an auction without reserve, after the

auctioneer calls for bids on an article or lot, that article or lot

cannot be withdrawn unless no bid is made within a reasonable time.

In either case a bidder may retract his bid until the auctioneer's

announcement of completion of the sale, but a bidder's retraction

does not revive any previous bid.

(4) If the auctioneer knowingly receives a bid on the seller's

behalf or the seller makes or procures such a bid, and notice has

not been given that liberty for such bidding is reserved, the buyer

may at his option avoid the sale or take the goods at the price of

the last good faith bid prior to the completion of the sale. This

subsection shall not apply to any bid at a forced sale.
