November 2004 Toy Train Auction

1. Ebay live auctions is NOT the same as a regular ebay auction. This is provided as a service and convenience to allow people to bid at the live gallery style auction from your computer. 2. A buyer’s premium of 17.5% is added to the purchase price of any item(s) you are successful with. This is to help defray the cost to provide this service. We have already had an overwhelming positive response from individuals who feel it is much more convenient than hotel stays and traveling great distances. We hope that you find this service well worth it too. The buyers premium is 10% for those people attending and making purchases in person at the auction in Hermitage, PA. 3. Stout Auctions has made every effort to accurately describe all items being sold, but all property offered for sale is offered "as is" and it is the bidder’s responsibility to determine the exact condition of each item. No statement in this catalog, bill of sale or invoice shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability with respect to age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance, provenance, or historical relevance of any of these items. Any such statements are strictly matters of opinion. 4. The Auctioneer reserves the right to make any changes to the terms of the sale and to the catalog. 5. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the Auctioneer’s "hammer". The purchaser shall assume full risk and responsibility of the lot purchased once title has passed. 6. We make every effort to execute all bids, however given the complexity of ebay liveauctions we cannot accept any responsibility for bids that show as a winner on ebay but actually went to the crowd. This situation rarely happens but it does happen. 7. Payment terms: Ebay does not provide Stout Auctions with the personal or payment information that you have already provided to them. If you are a successful bidder, please email your name, UPS shipping address (no P.O. boxes), phone number and method of payment to sales@stoutauctions.com so that we may process your invoice. Payment may be made by cash, cashiers check (or other guaranteed funds), money order, personal check, and Bidpay. We do NOT accept Paypal. 8. All absentee shipments are shipped by UPS within US borders. Orders outside the US are shipped by the US Postal Service. 9. Pennsylvania residents must pay 6% sales tax unless exemption is allowed under the laws regulating such tax. Out of state buyers are not required to pay Pennsylvania sales tax for absentee purchases. Attending bidders are required to pay sales tax unless exemption is allowed under the laws regulating such tax. 10. Absentee Bids: As a service to our customers who cannot attend the sale in person, Stout Auctions will execute absentee bids if so authorized by mail, fax or online bids from our website. All lots purchased for absentee bidders will be done so at the lowest possible price regardless of the amount of the maximum bid amount (competitive bidding). We cannot execute "buy" bids. In the event of tie bids between online bidders and those present at the auction, preference will be given to the attending bidder. In the event of identical bids from online bidders, preference will be given to the first received. 11. The Auctioneer will be the final judge as to which bidder is the highest bidder.
