Eclectic Collection Of Collectibles

Akiba Antiques Terms & Conditions Auction is in Dania Beach, Florida. All items are available for examination prior to sale. Bidders are encouraged to examine all items in which they have an interest. We try to accurately describe the items being sold, but all property offered for sale is strictly as is, where is, and with all faults. ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND NO REFUNDS ARE GIVEN. It is the bidder's responsibility to determine the exact condition and authenticity of each item. No statement in this catalogue or by representatives of Akiba Antiques shall be considered as a warranty or assumption of liability. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear or imperfections. Unless noted all items have some amount of acceptable wear, scratches, nicks, etc. for their age. Estimates are of market value and are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer's Premium. Estimates are prepared before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. By bidding, you are entering a contract and you are agreeing that you have either closely examined the items, have chosen not to examine them, or have hired an independent agent to examine the items for you. Terms: All sales are subject to the terms and conditions of sale. Bidding is available by phone and absentee. A 20% buyer's premium is added to the hammer price of each lot purchased 15% on any bids over $100,000. The auctioneer will also have full discretion to reopen the bidding, cancel the sale or re-offer and resell the property. Should a dispute arise after the auction, our sale record is conclusive. Absentee Bids: Arrangements for absentee bidding can be made by completing and submitting the Absentee Bid Form by 5:00 pm the day prior to sale day. This form can be obtained by emailing or calling our office. All bids must be secured with a credit card number. All absentee bids will be executed in a fair, competitive and confidential manner.
