3. Sealed Bidding Process.
3.1. Subject to fulfillment of the Contractual Obligations, at the Close of Lot, RMS will review the sealed bids and the highest amount submitted will be declared the winning bid upon which (i) the bill of sale between the Consignor and the winning Bidder (the “Buyer”) is concluded and irrevocable; (ii) payment is due in full; and (iii) ownership of the Lot transfers at the Close of Lot to the winning Bidder.
3.2. Once (i) you have satisfied the Bidder Registration Requirements; (ii) bidding is open; and (iii) you have logged into the online Sealed platform, the Bidder may input a bid in the highlighted fillable field.
3.2.1. The minimum bid outlined is a commercially reasonable starting bid as determined by RMS.
3.2.2. Once the Bidder has placed a starting bid, the next minimum bid the Bidder may place will be in accordance with the increment table below. If you type an amount that would result in an off-increment bid, your bid will be rounded down to the nearest on-increment bid:
• Current Bid – 0 – 999 | Minimum Increment – 25
• Current Bid – 1,000 – 2,499 | Minimum Increment – 50
• Current Bid – 2,500 – 4,999 | Minimum Increment – 100
• Current Bid – 5,000 – 9,999 | Minimum Increment – 250
• Current Bid – 10,000 – 24,999 | Minimum Increment – 500
• Current Bid – 25,000 – 99,999 | Minimum Increment – 1,000
• Current Bid – 100,000 – 499,999 | Minimum Increment – 5,000
• Current Bid – 500,000 – 999,999 | Minimum Increment – 10,000
• Current Bid – 1,000,000 – 2,500,000 | Minimum Increment – 20,000
• Current Bid – 2,500,000+ | Minimum Increment – 50,000
3.3. If your bid is greater than the current high bid, you will be the new high Bidder; otherwise, you will see where your current bid ranks among the other bids placed in the Sealed. You may elect to raise your bid at any time prior to the Close of Lot. Any Bidder, including the high Bidder, may still increase their bid by placing another bid for a higher value.
3.4. If you were the high Bidder, but a bid placed by another bidder exceeds your bid, you will be notified via the email address or mobile number you have set in your account preferences, and the Lot page will indicate you have been outbid by the change in your ranking.
3.5. For the Sealed, you will only be able to see your own submitted bid—not the high/winning bid (unless you are the high Bidder). The difference between Bidder positions will not be disclosed.
3.6. The Buyer will be required to pay RMS the last accepted sealed bid upon the Close of Lot plus any applicable Expenses and Fees (collectively, the “Purchase Price”) in accordance with clause 13 (Payment).
3.7. Once made, no Bidder may retract a bid made during the Sealed for any reason.
3.8. If a bid is placed within the final 90 seconds of the bid acceptance period that causes that Bidder to be ranked in the top three, the Sealed will be extended up to 90 seconds to prevent a Bidder from trying to place a high bid in the final moments of the Sealed. This also gives the new Bidder time to consider raising their bid further if they are not the high Bidder.
3.9. There is no “cooling-off period”, cancellation, or rescission of bids.
3.10. RMS reserves the right to reject any bid. RMS has absolute and sole discretion in the case of error or dispute with respect to bidding and, RMS has absolute and sole discretion, whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful Bidder, to re-open the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to re-offer and re-sell the Lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, RMS’ sale record is conclusive. RMS is not responsible for any errors or omissions in connection with the calling, displaying, accepting, or rejecting of bids.
3.11. The winning Bidder is responsible for all risk of loss or damage and insurance immediately upon the Close of Lot.
4. Absentee Bidding. Absentee bidding is a service provided by RMS for the Bidder’s benefit and, RMS cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions with respect to the bidding process including, failure to execute any bid. By submitting one or more bids, the Bidder has authorized an RMS employee to place the bid on behalf of the Bidder through the online Sealed platform. Once the bid has been placed, the Bidder has entered into a binding bill of sale to purchase the Lot if the Bidder’s bid is successful. If the Bidder’s bid is successful, the Bidder is to pay the Purchase Price including sales tax, if not otherwise exempt. It is the Bidder’s responsibility to provide proof of exemption from sales tax.
5. Bidder Due Diligence Responsibilities. The Bidder is responsible for any and all due diligence including, but not limited to, inspections and verification of the originality, character, features, condition, correctness, authenticity, history or description, statements made in reference to, or any and all other matters regarding the Lot offered in the Sealed (the “Bidder Due Diligence”).
6. All Sales Are “As Is” and “Where Is.” No warranties or representations of any type whatsoever are made by RMS or any Consignor to the Bidder regarding the Lot offered in the Sealed. Lot descriptions, statements in online content, pre-mailers, advertisements, brochures, signs, and window cards, as well as verbal statements made by the Consignor or RMS, are based on statements and historical files, if any, collected from the Consignor and other third-party sources, and RMS has no obligation to verify or authenticate any such statements. The Lot is sold as is, where is, with no representations or warranties, expressed or implied. THE CONSIGNOR AND RMS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO CONDITION, ORIGINALITY, OR AUTHENTICITY; ORIGIN OR PROVENANCE; PREVIOUS USE OR OWNERSHIP; MANUFACTURING OR RESTORATION PROCESSES; YEAR OR AGE; SERIAL NUMBER, MAKE, OR MODEL; OPTIONS AND TOOLS; ENGINE HOURS; AND MILEAGE OF THE LOT OR COMPONENT OF THE LOT, AND THEY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

10.2. In order to assist Bidders with this process, RMS may provide information about the tax status of the Lot as well as any ownership or registration papers that will be supplied with the respective Lot (the “Tax and Ownership Information”); however, this information is being provided merely to assist Bidders in their determination of their own tax and regulatory responsibilities.
