Important Note Regarding Live Auctions
Items being sold are part of a LIVE AUCTION being conducted by Wiederseim Associates, Inc., Auctioneers in Glenmoore, Pennsylvania. We are on Eastern Time and sell approximately 100 Lots per hour and sell in numerical order. The eBay time remaining stamp is not an accurate reflection of the hour at which any given lot will be sold. Absentee bids left through eBay Live Auctions are not the same as bids left directly with the Auction House. They are executed from an independent computer terminal on the auction floor against other internet bidders. Other competitive bidders may be in the room, on the telephone, andor through absentee bids left with the Auction House. This may result in a tie bid in which case, the Auctioneer has the sole discretion to award the lot to the high bidder of his or her choosing- most often to the floor bidder. Please see complete Terms Conditions as listed in the box below.
PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BID
We advise anyone bidding with any auction anywhere to read all information including the Terms Conditions. Many Frequently Asked Questions (Shipping, Condition Reports, Payment Terms, etc.)can be easily answered simply by taking a few moments to read this very important information. Thank you
