Hibid will be taking Absentee Bids ONLY for this Auction. There is NO LIVE BIDDING from this site for this Auction. If you would like to Bid Live, you will need to either attend the Auction Personally, or bid via www.liveauctioneers.com or www.invaluable.com. Online Absentee Bidding on Hibid Cuts off at 10:30 AM Central Time on Auction Day. In the case of Two Equal Absentee Bids, the Absentee Bid that is Entered into the Auction Program First will be the Winner - Therefore, it is recommended that you leave absentee bids online and EARLY, if possible. In the Case of an Absentee Bid and a Live Floor Bid, the Floor bid will take Precedence. All Absentee Bids will compete against Live Floor Bids, Left Bids, and Live Online and Absentee Bids on other Platforms to Determine the Winning Bidder of Each Lot. Just because you are the winning bidder on hibid at 10:30 AM on Auction Day does NOT mean you will be the ultimate winner of the lot, as the piece has to go up at auction, and beat out all live bids in the crowd and all online bids on other auction platforms.
