BEFORE PROCEEDING TO BID ON LOT(S): Understand that when you bid on any lot, you enter into a legally binding contract with Two Old Souls, Inc. You agree to be held personally responsible for all bids and purchases made under your bidder number or account. If you win a lot, you must pay and pick it up on the date and time listed in the event listing. If items are not picked up at the scheduled removal time, they will be considered abandoned, and we will charge your credit card for the purchase price plus a $5 disposal fee per lot.
REGARDING OUR AUCTION TITLES, DESCRIPTIONS AND PHOTOS :
Titles and descriptions are believed to be accurate but are not guaranteed. The photos are part of the description; always refer to them (and your eye) as the default description, as photos may show wear not mentioned in the written description. We do our best to describe and photograph each lot to show any wear or defects; however, what one person considers a "flaw" can vary.
We sometimes use Google Lens, an AI tool, to verify the authenticity of certain items by comparing them with other online sources, particularly for vintage items or those without clear markings. While it's usually accurate, it may occasionally make errors. Therefore, please conduct thorough research before submitting a bid.
We utilize AI to generate backgrounds for the first photos, but leave the other images in their natural state. The item itself remains unchanged; only the background is altered. You are responsible for carefully reviewing all item photos to assess condition and, when applicable, verify the listed measurements.
Please do not use Two Old Souls, Inc. photos, logos, or other proprietary content on this or the J&K website without our permission.

TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT (TERMS AND CONDITIONS) FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUR ONLINE AUCTIONS
Two Old Souls, Inc. operates as an independent, incorporated small business in Ohio.
Bidder Terms & Conditions
These Bidder Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to auctions conducted by Two Old Souls, Inc. Online Auctions ("Auctioneer") and form a binding contract between Auctioneer and each Bidder, and the basis for the contract of sale between Seller and Buyer. "YOU" means each Bidder.
#1. Agreement to Be Bound
The Auction is conducted under these Terms and any other terms posted on Auctioneer's website(s) or on any Online Auction Platform used by Auctioneer, subject to Auctioneer's announcements or corrections. By participating in the Auction in any way, YOU agree to be bound by these Terms.
#2. Key Definitions
- Auction – an online sale conducted by Auctioneer.
- Bidder – anyone who registers, bids, buys, or otherwise participates (including inspection/pick-up), whether or not a bid is tendered.
- Lot – each item or group of property offered at one time.
- High Bid / Hammer Price – the highest bid recognized at the close of bidding; becomes the Hammer Price at the Fall of the Hammer (electronic, at the end of timed/extended bidding).
- Buyer – the Winning Bidder on a Lot.
- Buyer's Premium – a percentage fee added to the Hammer Price, payable to the Auctioneer.
- Contract Price – Hammer Price + Buyer's Premium.
- Delivery – transfer of possession, occurring at the Lot's physical location unless the Auctioneer states otherwise; the Auctioneer is not obligated to relocate Lots.
- High/Low Estimate – a non-binding guide only, not an appraisal or valuation.
- No Sale – a Lot that is passed, withdrawn, or not sold.
#3. Bidder Registration
YOU must register and provide requested information. Auctioneer may accept, refuse, or revoke any registration or bidding privileges at its discretion. By registering, YOU represent that, if an individual, YOU are at least 18 and legally able to contract; if an entity, that YOU have authority to bid and complete the purchase. Auctioneer may accept bids from unregistered persons, who are still bound by these Terms.
#4. Location of Bids
All bids and payments are deemed received in Ohio, regardless of YOUR location or the Lot's location.

A 12% Buyer's Premium on the Hammer Price applies to all Lots and is earned by Auctioneer at the Fall of the Hammer.

Although rare, the Auctioneer may withdraw any Lot before the Fall of the Hammer.

Auctioneer is not liable for failures of any Online Auction Platform Provider or its affiliates/contractors.
#16. Auto-Extend
A bid placed within 2 minutes of the scheduled close extends bidding by 2 minutes, repeating until no new bids are received.

#22–24. Inspection, Descriptions & Estimates
YOU are encouraged to inspect Lots before bidding and are responsible for determining condition, age, and value. Descriptions are based on visual impression only and create no warranty. High/Low Estimates are guides only, not guarantees of price or value, and exclude the Buyer's Premium.

#28. Contract of Sale
These Terms, plus Auctioneer's sale records, are conclusive evidence of each sale — no further writing is required.
#29–30. Payment & Title
Full payment (cash, card) is due at or before pick-up; large payments may require certified funds/wire. Shipping occurs only after payment clears. Title does not pass until payment clears.
#31. Delivery & Sales Tax
Lots are delivered at their auction location unless otherwise stated; Auctioneer has no obligation to relocate them. Applicable sales/use tax is collected at delivery; YOU are responsible for any additional tax owed to other jurisdictions.
