TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE 1. NOTICE TO ALL LIVE EBAY BIDDERS: Our live auction is held at a location away from our business offices, each item must be packed and transported to the live auction site, and therefore, additional photo requests and condition reports cannot be given once items are packed prior to the auction. We make every attempt to list any condition beyond normal wear and tear as appropriate for the item and its age. Each lot is photographed in detail to help the potential buyer view any condition problems. Please review all of the information and photographs before placing your bid. 2. Shipping will be charged at cost plus insurance and a minor handling fee. Accurate quotes on shipping charges cannot be given until the order is completed. 3. Arrangements for Telephone Bids and written Absentee bids must be made 24 hours prior to the start of the auction. An Absentee Bid form is available on our website. Call (405) 858-1914 or fax us at 405-605-6132 to place your absentee or telephone bid. The completed form with your signature is required before that bid can be entered into our computer system. We must have a Credit Card on file to accept absentee or telephone bids even if you select payment by check. Arrangements for payment will then be made after the auction. 4. Livingston’s Auction accepts absentee bids including written left bids, telephone bids, and live auction internet bids. Although our absentee bidding system is 100% honest, it is not foolproof. Livingston’s Auction is not responsible for failing to execute any absentee bid or internet bid. All absentee bids will be executed by a staff member competitively during the sale. All items will be purchased for the lowest price possible regardless of the amount of the absentee bid. In the event of tie bids between absentee bidders or Live eBay bidders and those in attendance, preference will be given to the attending bidder. Where two absentee bidders bid the same amount the first received will be honored. Should there be a significant change in the condition of the item such as damage or discovery of a condition problem that a representative of Livingston’s Auction deems in the best interest of the absentee bidder that the bidder would change the bid the bid will NOT be executed. 5. BUYERS PREMIUM A buyer’s premium of 12% of the successful bid price will be added to the total purchase price of all properties as part of the total purchase price on any lot sold through an absentee, telephone, or live eBay bid. This includes any bid left at the auction by a buyer who does not wish to remain at the auction to bid in person. No buyer’s premium is charged to Floor bidders. 6. The highest bidder for each lot shall be the buyer. If any dispute arises as to the bidding or between two (2) bidders, the auctioneer has the final discretion to determine the successful bidder. The Auctioneer shall at her/his discretion decide to re-open the bidding or not. By bidding at this auction whether present, in person, or by written bid, telephone or live eBay bid title to all items is transferred to the winning bidder once the Auctioneer says “SOLD” and the winning buyer shall assume full responsibility for the lot purchased once the title has passed. 7.
