Terms and Conditions

CONDITIONS OF SALE -- PLEASE READ
1. GUARANTEE - We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold.
The catalog descriptions are guaranteed for authenticity, and condition. Should the need arise; the auctioneers reserve the right
to make verbal corrections and provide additional information from the block at the time of the sale. Absentee bids will not
be executed on items that are found to be other than described in the catalog. Since opinions can differ, particularly in the
matter of condition, the auctioneers will be sole judge in the matter of refunds.
2. DURATION OF GUARANTEE - Request for refund for items purchased IN PERSON at the auction must be made before
those items leave the auction site. If you are an absentee, online or phone bidder it is your responsibility to examine the lot immediately upon receipt. If you are bidding online via Ebay Live Auctions it is your responsibility to resolve any questions pertaining to the lot you are interested in prior to bidding. On items purchased absentee or online the guarantee will end 24 hours from the time of delivery. Therefore all
guarantees on items purchased will become null and void 10 calendar days from the date of shipment. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
TO NOTE THAT IF YOU PAY LATE, YOU MAY NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE GUARANTEE. Payment must be

be conclusive as to who was the purchaser and the purchase price.
