AUCTION TERMS & CONDITIONS:
All Bidders must be issued a BID NUMBER. Registration at this auction constitutes a Binding Contract between the Registered Bidder and the Seller(s) represented by the Auction Company: 1) for any purchases made on that bid number; 2) the acceptance of all related terms and conditions. 3) all shipping & handling charges are incurred. All Absentee Bidders are required to register and secure payment options prior to the auction. Absentee bidders are treated as if they were present. We do not start the bidding with such bids…bidding starts on the floor. When the bidding on the floor stops, if the amount of the absentee bid is higher, they will successfully buy that item for one bidding increment more.
ACCEPTED PAYMENT OPTIONS:
Cash, Traveler’s Checks, Personal Checks (US funds only) or Credit Card, with photo identification or valid driver’s license. Social Security and Date of Birth may also be required. MasterCard, Visa, or Discover may also be used (a 5% convenience fee for c/c use). All Bidders (Floor, Absentee, or Phone) must register and be issued a bid number. On-Line bidders register through Proxibid/Hi-Bid/AuctionZIP/Others. All information is kept strictly confidential and is for the protection of all parties.

EVERYTHING IS SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS” WITH NO WARRANTIES AS TO AGE, VALUE, CONDITION OR AUTHENTICITY IMPLIED OR EXPRESSED BY THE AUCTION COMPANY, AUCTIONEERS, AUCTION PERSONNEL OR OWNERS.
This applies to all purchases: those sold to absentee bidders, phone bidders, on-site bidders and all Proxibid purchases. Statements used as part of the “selling” chant are strictly “bidding” enhancements and do not constitute an appraisal, judgment or guarantee as to the quality or value of any said item. Potential buyers should inspect all items prior to executing any bid and then bid their own personal judgment. Caveat Emptor applies
THE AUCTION COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR POSSIBLE ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, NOR INACCURACIES IN CATALOG DESCRIPTIONS, ADVERTISING MEDIA OR SIMILAR STATEMENTS BY THE AUCTIONEERS NOR RINGMEN as to serial numbers, make, model, style or other such indicators. This applies to all purchases: those sold to absentee bidders, phone bidders, on-site bidders and all Proxibid bidders. Buyers are to inspect the items before bidding and determine for themselves if the item is the one they want. Again, Caveat Emptor applies
All items are considered SOLD and become the property of the bidder whose buyer’s number is announced when the hammer falls, and the Auctioneer says “SOLD”. In case of tie-bids, the bid taken by the Auctioneer will stand. The bidding will be reopened between those two bidders only and it is the responsibility of the alternate bidder to increase his bid in order to resume bidding on the item. If this bidder declines to bid, the item belongs to the first bidder. If a potential bid is “missed” by a ringman, bid taker or auctioneer, it is the Auction Management’s sole prerogative to reopen bidding if a question arises as to who had the bid when the hammer falls. It will be between the two bidders only, not open to the floor. This includes any conflict or question between onsite bidders and online bidders.
NOTHING IS TO BE REMOVED UNTIL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED. It is the buyer’s responsibility to keep track of the items purchased and to check their receipt tickets at the check-out, before departing the auction. Buyers are responsible for all shipping & handling charges incurred.
The Auction Company, Auctioneers, staff and owners are not responsible in any manner for personal injury, accident, theft, loss of personal property or for items purchased or offered for sale during the Auction.
The Auction Company will not condone any loud, rude, obnoxious, hateful, disrespectful or unprofessional behavior towards any of our staff or other bidders. If you choose to behave in this fashion, you will be asked to leave the auction for the remainder of the day. Any resistance or refusal to leave the auction upon request from Auction Management will involve Law Enforcement.
