Registration: Registration is free but does require several important pieces of information. Bidders must register with a full name, address, email address, and telephone number. Registration may only be completed with an acknowledgement that the bidder has read and understood all terms and conditions for the auction and online bidding.

Merchandise: All descriptions and information are believed correct, but are not guaranteed and as such the Auctioneers, and/or the Seller shall not be held liable for inaccuracies in the information. It is the Bidders responsibility to obtain or verify, prior to bidding, any information they consider critical to their decision to purchase. Preview times are available for potential bidders to physically inspect the items. All bidders are encouraged to inspect and research all aspects of the items, descriptions and information provided to their complete and full satisfaction prior to bidding. The items are being sold "as-is" "where-is" with no warranties or guarantees of any kind including merchantability and/or fitness for particular purpose.

Bidding: Online bidding is to be understood as a binding contract. Bids will be taken with the understanding that the bidder will honor their winning bid with sufficient funds including all applicable taxes and fees. Do not bid if you do not intend to pay. Notification of winning bids will be sent via email along with an auction invoice within 6 hours of the auction's close. Be sure to check your "Junk" email folder if you do not receive your invoice within that time frame. Bidding can be made using two methods on our website- "Your Bid" and "Your Maximum."

"Your Bid:" This feature allows the bidder to input a single bid as in a live auction. For example: the bid for item #1 is currently $100 placed by bidder "Wilma". Bidder "Alex" wishes to bid $105. By placing a bid of $105 in the "Your Bid" box, Bidder "Alex" now has the current winning bid. If Bidder "Wilma" wishes, he/she may bid again, continuing the auction cycle.

"Your Maximum:" This feature does your bidding without the bidder having to constantly view, log in, and bid on an item. Setting a maximum online is much like coming to a live auction with a preset spending limit in mind. The program will bid for you, in the prescribed increments, and only up to your spending limit for the item. For example: item #3 is currently at $5,000 with Bidder "Alexa" having the winning bid. Bidder "Brian" wants to place a bid and is willing to spend as much as $7,500 for item #3. If Bidder "Brian" places a maximum bid of $7,500, the price of the item rises only to $5,050. Bidder "Alexa" returns to the item online and places his/her maximum bid at $5,250. The program automatically does the bidding: A-$5,100, B-$5,150, A-$5,200, B-$5,250. The bidding stops at $5,250 with Bidder "Brian" winning because the next bid would be $5,300, which is more than Bidder Alexa's limit. Maximum bids are kept confidential. Any bidder can raise a bid or a maximum bid at any time prior to the close of the auction.

Sales Tax: All sales are subject to 6% Kentucky Sales Tax.

Close of Bidding: The bidding will begin to close at 7:00 PM (Eastern time zone), Thursday, September 17, 2020. For your convenience, the closing of items will be on a staggered basis of 6 items every minute. For example, items 1-6 will begin closing at 7:30, items 6-12 will begin closing at 7:31, items 12-18 will begin closing at 7:32, etc. The closing of some items may be extended in the event of last minute bidding. See paragraph below regarding the Extended Ending feature.

Extended Ending: The items in the auction will be subject to a extended ending, whereas at the close of the auction, any bidding activity on an item within 5 minutes of the closing time will automatically extend the bidding for 2 more minutes past the time of the last bid. The bidding on that lot will continue to remain open in 2 minute intervals as long as there is bidding activity within 2 minutes of the previous bid. Once there is no bidding activity for a 2 minute period, the bidding on that item will close. For example, if a lot is supposed to close at 7:00 PM but a last minute bid is placed at 6:59 PM, bidding will be extended until 7:01 PM. If another bid is placed on an item at 7:02 PM, bidding will then close at 7:04 PM, unless subsequent bids are placed.

Penalties: Any bidding found to be fraudulent and/or negligence to provide proper payment in the allotted time will result in all appropriate legal action. Any invoice not fully and properly paid for in the allotted time will be charged to the credit card account presented at registration and the items forfeited. Delinquencies will be noted and will prevent the individual from participating in any further live or online auctions conducted by Thomason & Sohm Realty & Auction Co. retains the right to prevent anyone from participating in this and future online auctions who does not abide by the terms and conditions of the auction or whose actions are not in the best interest of our client, the Seller.
