Absentee Bids Terms

Please read our terms carefully. Your Absentee or Phone Bid is Binding.
As a convenience for our clients who are unable to attend one of our auctions,
we accept absentee bids.

If you are unable to attend an auction in person and wish to place one or more bids, you may use our online form or fax form to give Landry Auctions instructions to bid on your behalf. We also accept phone bids.  Please call us at  (978)768-6233.
A Credit Card is required to secure Absentee Bids and Phone Bids.

After placing an Absentee or Phone Bid, our representatives will then attempt to purchase the lot(s) of your choice for the lowest price possible, not to exceed the maximum amount(s) you indicate.  This service is free and confidential.

Please note: While we will make every effort to purchase lots on your behalf, Landry Auctions will not be responsible for any errors or failure to execute any bids.

Be sure to accurately list your lot descriptions and lot numbers, if applicable.
You should be equally clear about the maximum bid you are willing to pay for each lot.  Unlimited bids or "Just buy" will not be accepted.

A buyer's premium of 15% will be added to the hammer price.  Massachusetts State Tax of 6.25% will also be added. Please submit your Tax Resale Number if applicable.

We recommend that you place your bids as early as possible. In the event of identical absentee bids, the earliest absentee bid received will take precedence.
All absentee bids via Fax, Online, or Phone must be received no later than 3:00 on the day of the sale.

In the event of an identical bid on the floor, the bid in attendance shall take precedence. If you choose the "Plus One Bid" option on the online form, this will authorize our Representative to bid one increment higher if the bid on the floor matches your maximum bid.

After the auction, successful bidders will be notified of amount payable, including the buyer's premium and applicable tax.

Each bid is per lot and all bids will be executed and accepted subject to the following Terms and Bidder Agreement.

Terms of Payment and Bidder Agreement

Identification: All purchasers are required to give full names, addresses, and telephone numbers.

Landry Auctions will accept Visa and/or MasterCard for absentee bids. Placing an absentee bid with Landry Auctions constitutes the bidder's agreement to have Landry Auctions charge all purchases, applicable premiums, and taxes to the absentee bidder's credit card and said charge may not be reversed. The absentee bidder's name and the name on the credit card, must be one and the same.

The Auctioneer acts as an agent only. Every item and/or lot is sold “as is and where is” with all faults and errors of description and the Auctioneers disclaim all responsibility for authenticity, age, provenance, origin, condition or quality. All statements on such matters, whether printed or made orally, are statements of opinion and not representations of fact. Purchasers are deemed to have satisfied themselves on authenticity, age, provenance, origin, condition, and quality before the sale, and no one in the Auctioneer's employment has authority to make any representation of fact.

All merchandise must be paid for in full prior to the removal of any items. Landry Auctions will not be responsible for any merchandise left on the premises longer than fifteen (15) days after the auction date, even if said merchandise has been paid for in full. Landry Auctions reserves the right to resell the merchandise, and any monies paid by the previous buyer will be retained by Landry Auctions as compensation.

Landry Auctions will represent items to the best of our ability but is not responsible for errors, withdrawn lots, or omissions.  Prospective bidders are encouraged to preview lots of interest in person or send a representative to inspect lots.
