Lots have NOT been tested. A majority of the lots are "estate lots" - so one should expect they will be in used condition and may have defects. Lots are sold ?As-Is, Without Warranty or Guarantee.? The bidder is ultimately responsible for determining the condition of a lot. All sales are final and may not be returned. The placing of a bid will be taken as full agreement to all terms & conditions. The auction house has the right to withdraw any lot.

The auctioneer or online bidding platform will incrementally (in accordance with standard bid increments) execute bids on bidder's behalf until the bid is either successful or exhausted.

Buyer?s premium is added to the hammer price of each lot.

In an instance of a reserve, the auctioneer will announce the lot being sold as ?having a reserve?. The reserve will never be greater than the low estimate. If a lot is offered with a reserve, the auctioneer may implement that reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor to the amount necessary to achieve the reserve price. This bidding will not constitute opening bidding. If no opening bid is received, we will pass the item. However once bidding is opened the auctioneer will bid on behalf of the consignor to reach the reserve price. 10.
