Auction conditions

INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS

1.

All bids are per lot as numbered in the auction list. The right is reserved to re-group lots, withdraw lots, act on behalf of the seller or to reject ridiculous bids. The auctioneer’s decisions shall be binding and final on all parties.

2.

All bids are handled competitively and confidentially. Lots are purchased for the highest bidder at about 10% advance over the second highest bidder. If only one bid, the lot is sold for the min bid if stated; if there is no min bid then for the bidder’s full bid. Buy bids not accepted. In ties, first bid received secures the lot.

3.

Successful bidders are expected tomake payment in full in U.S. dollars, before lots are shipped. Postage, extra insurance and any payment transaction cost are charged to the buyer. Bidders are expected to pay promptly or the lots will be resold.

Bidders may pay by check or PayPal (including fee).

4.

Any noted “minimum bid” (or MB) is a starting price. When catalogue prices are noted they are estimates, Catalogue numbers and values are from a number of recognized sources.

5.

This is not an approval sale; however, any lot incorrectly described is returnable within 5 days of receipt if returned in the same condition as shipped. The following items may not be returned for any reason: lots of 10 or more items; documents, covers or literature described as having faults, or lots sold “as is”. No returns after 30 days of closing date, for any reason.

6.

Placing a bid constitutes full acceptance of these terms and conditions of the sale.
