RULES: A) All bidders are required to read and understand these rules before bidding. RULE #1. All items offered for public auction are always sold as-is where-is. There is no implied warrantee of opperation on any item offered. Clockwork toys will be tested if a suitable key is available, but no warrantee is implied on their operation or longevity. Items are described for convenience only, NETTE is not responsible for errors or omissions in catalogs, ads or Auction lists. Errors made as a result of sloppy or incorrectly filled out bid forms are the responsibility of the bidder. RULE #2. Buyer understands and agrees that registering and bidding at an NETTE auction obligates that buyer to accept and pay for any and all lots hammered down to his/her bidder number as a result of his submitting an online bid. Discrepancies, re-auctioning and all disputes are settled at the auctioneers discretion after the sale is completed. RULE #3. Attending bidders agree that all items purchased are to be payed for in full on the day of auction. Personal checks must be cleared with the auctioneer prior to auction day. Out-of-State buyers must pay by cash or credit card unless other arrangements have been made previous to auction day. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold any purchases made by personal check until such check has been cleared by our bank. RULE #4.

Shipping charges include a $10 per box charge plus the cost of Shipping and insurance(unless noted otherwise in the catalog or internet listings).
