Buyer’s Information

Congratulations on winning your piece of fine art! Below we will tell you hopefully everything you need to know to finalize your purchase. All sales are final and no refunds will be given with the limited exception of circumstances. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the Terms and Conditions for full details.

Payment

All items must be fully paid for by the end of the next business day following the sale, including any additional amounts owed, and removed from the premises of the auction by the winning bidder, at the winning bidder’s expense.

Late fees and/or storage fees may be assessed after five days. Payment for each item purchased must be made before the item is removed. Barridoff encourages bidders to pay for and remove purchased items immediately after the sale.

We accept the following methods of payment:

  • Cash

  • Checks will be accepted and must be received on the day of the auction only. Barridoff reserves the right to hold purchases until the check has cleared.

  • Verified Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express)

  • Wire Transfer

Sales Tax

All purchases are subject to Maine sales tax (5.5%) or Massachusetts sales tax (6.25%) unless the buyer is located in another state and shipping is arranged by Barridoff Auctions or the buyer provides a sales tax exemption certificate issued by or acceptable to Maine Revenue Services or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, respectively, and a valid, signed copy of which is presented to Barridoff Auctions. Maine or Massachusetts sales tax is applicable to the full purchase price, which includes the hammer price plus the buyer's premium and surcharges under paragraph 8. Purchases made from other states or jurisdictions may be subject to a sales or use tax for that state or jurisdiction. Please visit our Sales Tax page for further information.
