or implied, are hereby disclaimed. Dimensions given for items may be approximate measurements. Do not

BIDDING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Binding Offer
(888) 852-4111 | www.kaufmanrealty.com | www.kaufman-auctions.com
Placing a bid constitutes a binding offer between You the Bidder and the Owner/Seller that cannot be rescinded
or retracted. If the bid is accepted by Kaufman (as determined by Kaufman in its sole discretion), You are
contractually obligated to buy the item at the price stated as Your bid, as well as other applicable taxes, fees,
and buyer premiums stated in the specific online auction you choose to participate in.
6.1 Participation
PRIOR TO BIDDING, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, ALL
OF THE INFORMATION LOCATED ON https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support (AND LINKS THEREIN), AND THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS STATED IN THE SPECIFIC ONLINE AUCTION YOU CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN. ENSURE
THAT THE AUCTION PICK-UP DATE AND TIME WORKS WITH YOUR SCHEDULE BEFORE BIDDING. KAUFMAN CANNOT
GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE THE WINNER OF ANY ITEM. ADDITIONALLY, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN RESPECT TO
ALL PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS.
6.2 Placing a Bid.

Depending on the specific online auction, You may place bids in the following ways: (1) Max Bid; (2) ForceBid/-
JumpBid; and (3) Ultimate Choice Bidding Platform.
Max Bid allows You to enter Your Max Bid and the system will continue to bid for You by increments until it
reaches Your Max Bid.
ForceBid/JumpBid is a bidding strategy by which a bidder increases the bid by more than the next accepted
bid (for example, placing your bid at $150 when the next accepted bid is $125). This practice is used by some
bidders to discourage others from bidding in hopes of acquiring an item at a lower price. There are many
theories on the effectiveness of this practice and if You choose to apply this practice, You do so at Your own
discretion.
If the Ultimate Choice Bidding Platform is being utilized, there is no max bidding feature. Once You have
clicked on the lot or combination of lots and click get price, You then have two options. You can simply click
submit bid to enter Your bid at the amount displayed or You can enter a higher bid in the space provided. Your
bid will be implemented at this amount. This is not max bidding, so the bid will be placed at the exact amount
You enter.
If the specific auction You choose to participate in is online only, bidding will begin at a certain time and date
and end at a certain time and date. Depending on the specific auction You choose to participate in, should a
bid be placed within a certain amount of minutes before the auction’s ending time, the ending time will automatically
be extended from the time that bid is placed. The time will continue to extend until the bidding
activity has stopped. The online only auction closes when the timer on the auction hits zero. The winning bidder
of an item is the last bidder the bid history recorded before the timer hits zero. Kaufman, in its sole discretion,
may determine when and how long it chooses to extend the auction’s ending time.
If the specific auction You choose to participate is online and live (simulcast), pre-bidding will begin at a
certain time and date and end at a certain time and date. The actual live portion of the auction in which
online and live bidding will occur will begin at a certain time and date and end on the same date at a later
time.
You can read more about auction terminology and the bidding functions and how they operate at:
https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support/terminology/;
https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support/bidding/how-to/; and
https://www.kaufman-auctions.com/support/bidding/.
6.3 Bid Notifications.

(i) Outbid Alerts will be sent via email to You if You have been outbid.
(ii) High Bid Alerts will be sent via email to You if You are the high bidder.
(888) 852-4111 | www.kaufmanrealty.com | www.kaufman-auctions.com
(iii) Low Bid Alerts will be sent via email to You if You are the low bidder.
For the above notifications, if elected, You can also receive text notifications. Notifications can be configured
