BIDDING Kimballs Auction Gallery is pleased to offer several options for bidding. Bidding can be done over the telephone, via absentee bidding, and live on one of two live bidding platforms. We only accept telephone and absentee bids from customers who submit them in person. a. Telephone Bidding: To register for a telephone bid, complete an Absentee Bid Form and submit this to Kimballs Auction Gallery in person. In order to participate in telephone bidding, you must agree to an automatic minimum opening bid amount. This amount can change for each auction. Please contact our gallery to confirm the minimum opening bid for the auction you would like to telephone bid on. When completing the absentee bid form, you do not need to enter an amount in the bid section of this form. That field is for absentee bids. In order to be sure your bid is received and entered in time, we request that they be submitted at least 24 hours in advance of an auction. By submitting this form, you agree to all of our Conditions of Sale including minimum opening bid, and will be registered for the sale. On the day of auction, a qualified member of our auction team will call you approximately three to five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will confirm with you the item that you are bidding on and the minimum opening bid requirement. The team member will then relay the bidding activity to you and announce your bids to the auctioneer as you request. If you are successful, an invoice will be emailed to you the day after the auction. b. Absentee Bidding: There is one way that you may submit an Absentee Bid (Left Bid). You may present a completed Absentee Bid Form to our staff during the auction preview. By submitting an Absentee Bid, you agree to all of our Conditions of Sale and will be registered for the sale.

Live Online Bidding: Kimballs Auction also runs our auctions on two third party online bidding platforms which include LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable. For information on how to bid and buy using these online bidding platforms, please refer to the third-party websites. Any absentee bids placed with one of these online bidding platforms are released to Kimballs during the time the lot is up for sale and not before.

By registering to bid on one of our auctions through LiveAuctioneers or Invaluable, you agree to all of our Conditions of Sale. 2. BIDDING CONTRACT Your bid is a contract. Kimballs Auction Gallery is not responsible for any bids that were placed in error. Most of these errors can be easily prevented by taking the time to clearly read our terms. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our terms we encourage you to contact us PRIOR to bidding. If you are the successful and winning bidder, you have entered into a legally binding contract to purchase the property bid on from the seller. Bidding will begin at a price appropriate at the auctioneer's discretion. The auctioneer always reserves the right to withdraw a lot for any reason he deems appropriate. This is a live auction and bids are accepted from the absentee bids, telephone, and the internet. You may place an absentee bid online and still not prevail when the selling price is the same or, in some cases, lower than the winning bid. The auctioneer accepts bids from where he/she sees them first. Internet bids that were placed prior to the auction are transmitted to the auction gallery during live bidding and not before. The auctioneer is the final determination on who the winning bidder is. We are providing you with a service, we are not responsible for missed bids or mis-executed bids. The Auctioneer, at his sole discretion, reserves the right to reject any opening bid, which he feels is unacceptable or too low. The auctioneer also reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale. Once the Auctioneer announces 'SOLD', title to the property will immediately pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. Once title to the property has passed to the highest bidder, such bidder (a) assumes all risks and responsibilities (b) will pay the full purchase price including buyer's premium and applicable sales tax. AFTER THE AUCTION INVOICING Your invoice will be sent via email at the conclusion of the auction. Please respond to the emailed invoice letting us know that it was received and to inform us of payment and pick-up arrangements. 2.

When applicable, Massachusetts sales tax will be added to the hammer price and buyer's premium. Massachusetts sales tax is currently 6.25%.
