LIVE in-person bidding is BACK!  For now, masks will still be required for all auction guests & staff regardless of vaccination status. If you forget your mask and want to come inside to preview or bid live during a sale, we can provide a disposable one for you at the front door.

You may bid by phone or leave an absentee bid that will be exercised by a Thomaston Place Auction Galleries’ representative. To bid by phone or to leave an absentee bid, you must fill out our Phone/Absentee Bidder registration form  and return the completed form by mail, email or fax. Once we have received your registration, you will be called to verify your phone number and/or to provide a credit card number. You will receive an email confirmation of your registration. We require current contact information and a valid credit card. If we do not a have a credit card number, your registration is not complete. All registration forms must be received no later than noon on the day preceding the auction. Bid forms received the day of the auction MAY NOT BE PROCESSED. Buyer's Premium for TPAG Phone/Absentee bidding is 20%.

We offer three online platforms that allow you to leave an absentee bid and/or to bid live online during the auction. Thomaston Live is our own in-house platform and is accessed through our online catalog. We also list our auctions on Liveauctioneers, and Invaluable. Each platform has its own registration procedures. You will be notified when your registration has been approved. 
Registering to bid through our online platform is separate from phone or absentee bidder registration. If you have registered as an absentee/phone bidder, you are not automatically registered to bid on Thomaston Live and vice versa.  Buyer's premium is 25% for all online bidding, live or absentee.
