Estate On-Site Antiques Auction Hampton, VA

1. 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. Your bidding will signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire, or that you have chosen not to examine them. Written and oral descriptions are our opinions 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. Our goal is to provide prospective bidders with accurate and detailed information. We recommend 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, we recommend you not bid on the item in question. We do not give refunds. All sales are final. No statement written or oral made by the auctioneer shall be deemed a warranty or assumption of liability by Brunk Auctions or by any seller represented by Brunk Auctions. 2. If a lot is offered with a reserve, the reserve is printed following the description and bidding will begin at that price. 3. Once we declare that an item is sold, we cannot reopen the bidding. It is the bidder’s responsibility to get our attention prior to our saying “sold.” We reserve 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 If an item is withdrawn from the auction it will be offered again only at the auctioneer’s discretion. 4. Payment must be made by cash, approved check, wire transfer, or MasterCard and Visa credit cards. We reserve the right to require bank checks for large purchases. Buyers not known to us who wish to write a check must provide a current letter of credit from their bank guaranteeing funds for that account. Credit arrangements must be made by the Friday prior to the day of auction so bank statements can be verified. We reserve the right to not issue a buyer’s number or to withhold merchandise if appropriate credit has not been established. 5. Payment for all purchases is expected at time of purchase. Payment for successful absentee, phone bids and eBay® bids is required within five business days of the auction. 6. We are pleased to offer absentee and phone bidding for prospective bidders who cannot be present at the auction. Please complete and sign the Absentee Bid and/or Phone Reservation form. Completed absentee bids left with us are executed competitively and confidentially. In the case of identical bids left with us, the bid received first will prevail. Bids left on eBay® are not executed until the item is offered in the live auction and the order in which they are received is not a factor. We sell 60-80 lots per hour. Following are general guidelines for bidding increments: $0-$100 $10 increments $100-500 $25 increments $500-1,000 $50 increments $1,000-3,000 $100 increments $3,000-10,000 $200 or $500 increments Above $10,000 $1,000, $2,000 or $5,000 increments The deadline for absentee bids is at least twenty lots before the item comes up for auction. All reservations for phone bidding are held in the strictest confidence and must be received one day prior to auction day. In our experience, cellular phones are not always dependable, and we recommend phone bidding reservations be made on land lines. Telephone bidding is offered only to clients outside the 757 area code. We make every effort to honor all absentee and phone bid reservations, but we are not liable for any losses incurred as a result of failure to execute absentee bids or failed phone reservations. Submitting absentee bids or bidding by phone does not imply an extension of credit. Please see numbers 4 and 5 above. 7. Purchaser agrees that packing and shipping are done at the purchaser’s risk and that the purchaser will pay in advance all packing expenses, materials, carrier fees and insurance charges. Please allow two weeks for shipping after payment is received. Brunk Auctions will have no liability for any loss or damage to shipped items. We have arranged for an agent to be on site to handle all shipping including large items. If you purchase and cannot pickup the items up by November 7, 2004 you must make arrangements with this individual. We are happy to provide agents names and phone numbers upon request. 8. Note to internet absentee bidders. We do not accept cut bids, (bids less than the last interval) from the floor or from phone bidders, and we do not accept them from internet bidders. Thus it is possible that a lot could go to another bidder for less than your absentee bid. For example, if the bids are progressing in ten dollar increments, $50, $60, $70 and your absentee falls at $75, we will not take the bid since it is less that the $10 interval. We always encourage bidders to bid by phone or to leave absentee bids through our gallery to avoid such a situation. 9. All purchases are subject to 5% Virginia sales tax unless purchaser is a registered dealer with the Commonwealth of Virginia and a Virginia Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption form is fully and completely filled out along with a copy of the Virginia resale certificate prior to time of purchase. Resale tax numbers from other states are not accepted. 10. Bidding on an item indicates your understanding and acceptance of these Terms of Sale. If a purchaser breaches any of these Terms of Sale, including the obligation to pay for purchased items, Brunk Auctions may seek all remedies under the law including canceling the sale and reoffering the property without reserve. 11. A buyer’s premium of 15% will be applied to the purchase price of all items. Live internet bidding available through eBay® Live Auctions is offered with a 20% buyer’s premium.
