One of our experienced staff members will bid competitively for you up to that amount. d. Live Online Bidding: Nadeau’s Auction also runs our auctions on three third party online bidding platforms which include LiveAuctioneers, Bidsquare 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 Nadeau’s during the time the lot is up for sale and not before. Bids placed in advance of the auction have no timed advantage over those made in real time. The buyer’s premium for bidding on one of these platforms is 27%. By registering to bid on one of our auctions through, LiveAuctioneers, Bidsquare or Invaluable, you agree to all of our Conditions of Sale. 2. BIDDING CONTRACT Your bid is a contract. Nadeau's 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 live audience (floor), 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 Invoices can be retrieved at our reception window at any point during the auction. If you did not attend the auction in person, 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. If we do not have an email on file for you, you will receive a phone call on the first business day following the auction. 2. BUYER’S PREMIUM & SALES TAX A Buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price of each lot. The buyer’s premium for in-house bidding (this includes floor, phone, and absentee) is 22%. The buyer’s premium for live internet bidding is 27%. We offer a 2% discount for clients choosing to pay with cash or check. Specialty auctions may have a different buyer’s premium. Please ask us if you have any question as to the buyer’s premium. When applicable, Connecticut sales tax will be added to the hammer price and buyer’s premium. Connecticut sales tax is currently 6.35%. If you have a resale certificate, you may complete a Connecticut Sales and Use form and submit it to Nadeau’s Auction Gallery to have the sales tax removed from your invoice. The State of Connecticut requires that this form be updated every three (3) years. If your items will shipped out of state by a licensed shipper sales tax will not be assessed. A licensed shipper must have a Motor Carrier number (MC#) in order to have tax removed. (see the Shipping section of this document for more information) and your shipper must provide an official Bill of Lading. 3.
