| Consumer Law relating to goods bought at auction. |
| Click HERE for the ACCC website. |
| Consumers who buy goods at a private auction, where an auction house sells on behalf of a vendor, are not covered by all statutory rights. In these transactions, the auction house (or auction website) is not usually a part of the contract between buyer and seller, so they are not obliged to provide a remedy if goods are not fit for their intended purpose, are not of merchantable quality or do not match their description. However, the law says that consumers who buy goods in auctions are entitled to receive ‘clear title’ to the goods. In other words, the auction house must disclose any outstanding debt on the goods, and a consumer is entitled to not have their ownership of the goods disputed. |
