All lots are sold AS IS and there will be NO RETURNS BASED ON CONDITION. The printed conditions in the catalog entry are OPINION ONLY and are provided for guidance only, without legal obligation. Subsequently, if a prospective buyer has not examined the property to their satisfaction before the sale, or his/her agent has not inspected the property, Stony Ridge Auction RECOMMENDS NOT BIDDING ON THAT LOT. Additionally, the items sold are often of considerable age and will exhibit wear, usage and damage often NOT LISTED IN THE CATALOG ENTRY. The absence of condition remarks in the catalog entry DOES NOT mean the item is in perfect condition. Again, prospective buyers are in ALL CASES responsible for determining the physical condition of lots as there are NO RETURNS based on condition.
