STAGGERED CLOSING & SOFT CLOSE Staggered Closing: Bidding begins to close Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. All lots do not close simultaneously. Lots will close in catalog order at the rate established by the online bidding platform unless a lot is affected by the Soft Close provision below. Soft Close: If a bid is placed on an item within the final two (2) minutes of bidding, the closing time for that item will be extended by two (2) minutes. The closing time will continue to extend with each new bid until two (2) minutes have elapsed without additional bidding activity. This process is intended to provide all bidders a fair opportunity to submit their final bids. BY REGISTERING AND BIDDING, BIDDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AUCTION. One thing I would definitely keep is the stronger removal/liability section. With buyers potentially cutting rail, disconnecting refrigeration, moving commercial processing equipment, and using their own contractors, this sale has considerably more exposure than your normal household online auction. I wrote the clause broadly, but because indemnity/liability language can be affected by Ohio law and the exact circumstances, having your attorney or insurance agent review that particular section before publishing would be worthwhile.
