November 16th Estate Auction

- IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING ONLINE BIDDING - We do NOT have an in-house shipping department and do NOT accept PayPal. Please place a bid only if you are serious about buying the item. IF YOU ARE THE SUCCESSFUL AND WINNING BIDDER, YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY FROM THE SELLER. You should contact Butterscotch Auction Gallery, LLC (914-764-4609, info@butterscotchauction.com) to resolve any questions before bidding. Bidding Approval: unless a bidder has a long, steady history of successful bidding with other reputable auction houses, we reserve the right to request credit card information as a means of protection against fraudulent bidding. Payment is expected in full within 1 week after the sale date. Any credit cards on file at Butterscotch Auction Gallery, LLC may be charged after two weeks of the sale for any outstanding payment on items won. Absentee bids left online are not the same as bids left with the auction house directly. They are executed from a proxy computer terminal in the room against other internet bidders. Other competitive bids include bidders on the telephone, in the room, and bids left directly with the auctioneer. Online bidding does not provide the ability for auction houses to knowingly incorporate left bids from the web with those left directly with the auction staff. In the event of a tie bid, the auctioneer has sole discretion to award the lot to a bidder of his or her choice. In such an instance we automatically favor a bidder who is in the room. We therefore highly recommend attending the auction in person if you have a serious, vested interest in purchasing an item at the sale. We do not guarantee the proper execution of bids received online. The auctioneer (Butterscotch Auction Gallery, LLC) at its discretion reserves the right to refuse participation in this auction by any bidder, whether on premises, participating online, by telephone, or through absentee bid. Butterscotch Auction Gallery, LLC reserves the right not to accept bids via internet bidding for lots of high value. If you intend on bidding on high value lots (those with estimated values above $15,000), please contact us via phone or email. Please note that bidder registrations may not be approved during the course of the sale. - An Important Note Regarding Condition Reports - Condition reports are provided as a courtesy to bidders.
