The Auction at Graceland - August 12, 2018

GRACELAND AUCTIONS TNGL# 5967 1. Auction A Circle, LLC d/b/a Graceland Auctions has endeavored to accurately describe all items being sold. All items are sold as is, where is, with all faults. There are no warranties or representations of merchantability, of fitness, nor of any other kind, express or implied. All items are available for your examination prior to bidding by appointment only. Your bidding will signify that you have examined the items as fully as desired, or that you have chosen not to examine them. Please note that photographs may have had size modifications for display purposes, or been trimmed to exclude framing, matting, and wide blank margins. Also, imperfections from the photography process can include reflections and variations in color due to digital processing. Auction A Circle, LLC shall have no responsibility for any error or omission. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear, imperfections or aging. Any condition statement, written or verbal, is given as a courtesy to the client, and is only an opinion. It should not be treated as a statement of fact. Written and oral descriptions are statements of opinion and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to age, condition, materials or any other feature of items being sold. Auction A Circle, LLC's goal is to provide prospective bidders with accurate and detailed information. Auction A Circle, LLC recommends prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, it is recommended you not bid on the item in question. Estimates provided are an opinion as to the price that a willing buyer would pay for the property at auction. These estimates are neither a representation nor a prediction of the actual selling price that will be realized at auction. All sales are final. No statement written or oral made by the auctioneer shall be deemed a warranty or assumption of liability by Auction A Circle, LLC or by any seller represented by Auction A Circle, LLC. Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale. 2. The Auctioneer will be the final judge as to who is the successful bidder. In the event of any dispute, the Auctioneer shall, at his discretion, decide whether or not to reopen the bidding. It is the bidder's responsibility to get Auction A Circle, LLC'S attention prior to the Auctioneer saying "sold". Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to reject any bids deemed inappropriate. If an item is withdrawn from the auction it will be offered again only at the Auctioneer's discretion. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the successful bidder at the fall of the Auctioneer's "hammer". The purchaser shall assume full responsibility for the lot purchased once title has passed. All lots offered in this catalog are subject to a reserve, the amount of which is confidential between AAC and the consignor, but will not exceed the printed low estimate in the catalog. We reserve the right to open the live auction bidding and bid up to the amount of the reserve by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot, or bid in response to other bidders. During the live event, when a floor bidder, phone bidder or internet bidder attempts to bid the same amount as a previously left on-line proxy bid or accepted absentee bid (submitted on the form found in the catalog or emailed upon request), that on-line proxy bid or accepted absentee bid shall be given precedence by the auctioneer. These on-line proxy bids and accepted absentee bids were placed at an earlier time in the process, and they are therefore given precedence in the event of a tie with a floor bidder, phone bidder or live internet bidder.  3. Invoices will be emailed within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Payment for all winning bids must be settled within 10 days of sale, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Payment may be made by cash (In House Only), bank wire transfer, certified funds, credit card, check or PayPal. Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to require payment by bank wire transfer or certified funds. Personal, business and cashier checks will be held for a period of 10 business days prior to release of material. Where permitted by law, a convenience charge of 3.5% will be reflected in the final purchase price for the use of a credit card. Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to not issue a bidder number or to withhold merchandise if appropriate credit has not been established. Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to hold all merchandise until receipt of funds is verified. 4. A buyer's premium will be applied to the purchase price of all items as listed below. (The "Sales Price" is the hammer price plus the buyer's premium, plus applicable convenience payment fees, plus other applicable fees and taxes). All bidding at auction and all purchases will be in U.S. Dollars. Live bidders via floor or phone/absentee bidding or internet: 25% Buyer's Premium Premium and other applicable fees and taxes are payable by cash, certified funds, bank wire transfer, credit card, check or PayPal.
