The items sold are often of considerable age and will exhibit wear, usage and damage often not listed in the catalog entry.

Condition reports are available upon request from auction house. However, neither Auctioneer, his or her employees or agents is authorized to make on Auctioneer's behalf or on that of the Consignor any representation or warranty, oral or written, with respect to any property. If Sarasota Estate Auction offers a refund for an item, buyer is responsible for all shipping charges incurred and Sarasota Estate Auction does not reimburse for shipping costs. Buyer is also responsible for shipment of item back to auction before refund will be offered. Therefore, if a prospective bidder has not examined the property to their satisfaction before the sale, or his/her agent has not inspected the property, Auctioneer recommends that they not bid on the property.
