CONDITION REPORTS AND DESCRIPTIONS: Written and oral descriptions are our opinions; do not construe the cataloging as a guarantee of authenticity, age, condition, or materials. We make an honorable effort to correctly catalog all lots and attempt to point out any significant defects, but we are not responsible/liable for the correctness or completeness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. It's best that prospective bidders examine or have examined all items of interest at our review if possible. If this is not practicable call us at 610-722-9004 and direct your concerns to Todd or Gordon Converse. If you doubt catalog wording or meaning, we suggest you deduce the worst scenario or just do not bid.

Please carefully read catalog entries for specific information as to cost, etc. of packing and shipping through us. WE DO NOT AND WILL NOT INSURE ITEMS SHIPPED DIRECTLY FROM CONVERSE & CO., so if you require insurance you must use a 3rd party shipper. We recommend our local UPS Store (store1152@theupsstore.com). In some situations, we can arrange to deliver items. With all shipping, the transaction is between you and your chosen shipper. Regardless of how your items are shipped, we require notification of your plans (preferably in writing) when paying for your lots. If you wish to use the UPS Store, we will give them your contact information and they will contact you directly after you pay Converse & Co. for your purchases. If you fail to make shipping arrangements, we will move your items to storage and a storage fee will be incurred. After 30 days we reserve the right to resell your item to recover storage fees. All items being picked up by you or your 3rd party shipper must be removed before January 16, 2013.
