Antique, Collectible & Primitive Auction

TERMS OF SALE: A) Homestead Auctions has tried to accurately describe all items being sold, but all items herein offered for sale is strictly "as is" and its the bidder's responsibility whether bidding in person, by mail, email, or by telephone to determine the exact condition of each item. No statement of any advertisement, bill of sale, invoice, or by any representative of Homestead Auctions shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation or assumption of liability to the age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance or historical relevance toward any of these items for sale. Any such statements are strictly matters of opinion only. B) Bidding Procedures: If you leave an absentee bid on eBay, eBay will execute the bids in the order received. The earliest bid entered is executed first and will block any live bidders trying to bid during the sale until the maximum bid amount is reached. The eBay priority does not apply to floor bidders. What happens on occasion is that a lot will sell to a floor bidder for the amount left by an eBay bidder. For example, you leave a bid of $200 for an item: the bidding opens at $100 and your online bid is recognized by the auctioneer; the floor advances to $150; your online bid is recognized at $175; the floor bids $200. The floor bidder takes the lot since eBay cannot advance to $225 on your behalf, and you cannot bid $200 because you would be bidding against your $175 bid. (Technically, you did not bid $200, even though you left that as the maximum; only $175 was bid on your behalf.) That is, just because you left a bid of, say, $200 two weeks before the sale does not mean you will win the lot because your bid was left earlier. You are bidding against other people in a live auction. This does not mean we we or Ebay discriminates against online bidders. Often online bidders get lots for less than their maximum bid, and typically 25-30% of our lots sell on eBay.In addition, eBay does NOT let us see the amount of an absentee bid. We know a bid has been left, but not how much, so we cannot be aware of your maximum bid. Nor can we "fix" the bidding so that eBay bidders do not win the lot (we sell too fast to do this, anyway). Besides, if a lot sells for, say, $200, why should we care whether it sells to someone on eBay or someone on the floor? $200 is $200. The Auctioneer is the final judge as to the winning bid, no bids will be reopened.At the fall of the hammer,title will transfer.Buyer will become responsible at that point.C)PAYMENT TERMS: Payment may be made by cash(In House Only), Bank cashiers check, money order,personal check, Visa, Mastercard, NO PAYPAL.
