CONDITION - All prospective bidders should inspect the property they wish to purchase prior to bidding. If a bidder is unable to view an item in person, they are responsible for requesting/obtaining a condition report and/or additional photographs PRIOR to bidding to determine an article's condition, size, and degree of restoration. We endeavor to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and condition reports, however bidders must acknowledge that antique items often show normal signs of use and wear, which might not be specified in a condition report. If you are a very particular client with expectations of perfection for the items you purchase, it is advisable that you inspect items in person or that you do not bother to submit absentee bids as your definition of condition may be more exacting that an appraiser could have time to verify. Bounds Auctions reserves the right to reject any condition report/additional photograph requests in which, in our opinion, the value of the object is not commensurate with the time necessary to complete the request. Any items purchased and removed from the auction site cannot be returned. Some lots offered may be subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Bounds Auctions below which the lot will not be sold. A representative of Bounds Auctions will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. Reserves are set at or below the estimated range. Under no circumstances will reserve amounts be disclosed to prospective bidders. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid which, in his opinion, is not commensurate with the value of the article being offered. At their discretion, the auctioneer may also reject any bid that he may determine as having a detrimental effect on the item in question or the sale as a whole. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before sale. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalogue. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute.
