Bidding with Brown Button/Circle Auction
Timed Bidding: Lots will begin closing at 7:00pm and will close 30 seconds apart. If a new bid comes in during the last 30 seconds before a lot closes, an additional 1 minute will be added.
Auctioneer Control: During an auction, the Auctioneer is the final arbiter of sales. Bids are called for and recognized incrementally. Placing a bid online does not guarantee the bid will be recognized by the auctioneer owing to the current intensity of bidding or bids already received in increments or amounts already above this bid. Items or lots receiving little or no attention may be “passed” by the Auctioneer and are not subject to a later re-opening of the bidding process. If a bidder is interested in a passed lot they may reach out to our office at sales@brownbutton.com.
Risks & Assumed Costs: By placing a Bid, you understand that a submitted Bid can and may be the High and/or Winning Bid for a particular lot. Additionally, your Bid on any lot is considered a legally binding agreement to purchase the lot at your Bid price, if accepted by the auctioneer, or in a timed auction. By placing a Bid you agree to assume personal responsibility to pay for the item at your high Bid price, plus any Buyer’s Premium and additional charges or costs that may become payable in connection with your purchase, such as shipping, insurance, sales tax, or other costs. If the lot is closed by the auctioneer and your Bid is the highest Bid, you agree to purchase the lot, and you assume risk of loss and damage to the purchased lot. All Sales are as is / where is and final.
Internet During Live & Online Auctions: Brown Button/Circle cannot be held liable for any Internet failure or outage either of the bidder’s service or Brown Button/Circle’s. Items sold before a failure/outage remain sold to the respective winning bidder previously recorded by Brown Button/Circle and/or the online platform(s) being utilized. In the event of a failure of Brown Button/Circle’s Internet service, items unsold at the time of the failure or outage will be opened for bidding as soon as service is restored and subject to the original auction process and conditions. Similarly, the item currently opened by the auctioneer at the time of failure/outage will be reopened when service resumes.
Maximum Absentee Bids: Bidders should be aware that due to how bidding increments may fall, it is possible that a lot may sell to a different bidder at the same amount of your submitted maximum bid. If you are the winning bidder at one bidding increment below your maximum absentee bid, and then another bidder bids at your maximum absentee bid amount with no further bids presented, the lot may be sold to the other bidder. For lot(s) of significant interest we strongly recommend signing up for a phone bid or participating online during the auction.
Confidentiality: Brown Button/Circle will not reveal to the public personal names, platform user names, or any contact information of winning bidders.
After the Auction
Buyer’s Premium: Winning bidders are responsible for, and agree to pay the final hammer price, a buyer’s premium, and any applicable sales tax by 9am the day after the auction closes. A buyer’s premium of 15% will be paid on all winning bids through Brown Button/Circle’s website and app.
Payment: Payment in full is due the morning after the close of the auction. Brown Button/Circle will send invoices the morning after the auction closes and all winning bidders will be auto-charged to the card on file. There is no fee for credit/debit card processing.
No lot may be picked up until payment is made in full, including any applicable fees and costs as outlined in these Terms & Conditions.
If payment does not go through when Brown Button/Circle auto-charges a winning bidder’s card, Brown Button/Circle has the right to sell the item to the next highest bidder.
Sales Tax: All winning bidders are responsible to pay state and local sales tax as required by law. Exempt bidders should file a tax exemption form with Brown Button/Circle to have sales tax removed.

Choice of Law: These Terms and Conditions will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions or bidder’s actual state or country of residence.
