Terms & Conditions

Below are our auction Terms of Sale. Please read them over as they are applicable to those bidding online, via phone, or via absentee bid. A submission of bids in this action constitutes your acceptance of these Terms of Sale. 1. This is an auction sale, not an approval sale. When the auctioneer calls "sold" or the hammer falls this constitutes a purchase at the price hammered. The auction house has final discretion in all matters. In case of dispute, the lot(s) in question may be resold. Lots will be sold in their numerical sequence unless the auctioneer directs otherwise. 2. Payments must be made in full within 7 business days and arrangement for removal of lots must take place within 7 days after the auction. Absolutely no lots will be released until payment in full has been made. Payment (in U.S. funds) may be made in cash, by personal check (with proper identification, at the discretion of Ancient Resource Auctions.), bank wire transfer, or by MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express. We do not accept credit card information through email or over the phone. If you would like to pay via credit card, payment can be made directly from your invoice or you can contact us and we will send an invoice via Stripe, where you can enter your information directly and make payment. Please note that a 3% charge will be added to all payments made via credit card, including payments paid directly through the invoice. This charge is discounted to $0 if paying by check, cash, or wire, and the charge total will not be applicable and will be removed. If prompt payment is not made, Ancient Resource Auctions reserves the right to resell the lots, and file a dispute against the bidder if bidding took place on an online platform. 3. A 19.5% buyer's premium will be added to the final hammer price of each lot purchased when bidding through Ancient Resource Auctions via phone or absentee bids. The 19.5% buyer's premium will also be applied to all unsold lots purchased after a sale. A 20% buyer's premium will be added to the final hammer price of each lot purchased when bidding through the dedicated Ancient Resource Auctions bidding platform. A 24.5% buyer's premium will be added to the final hammer price of each lot purchased when bidding through Ancient Resource Auctions on the Liveauctioneers and Invaluable platforms. 4. Appropriate state and local Sales Tax (9.50%) will be added to all California invoices, unless a valid seller's permit is on file with Ancient Resource Auctions prior to any bidding in the auction. Coin purchases of $1500 and over are also sales tax exempt to buyers within California. 5. There are no returns or refunds except for reason of lack of authenticity. Claims to the contrary must be made in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of material. A letter from a recognized expert in the field pertaining to the item in dispute must be presented for refund. No lots may be returned without prior written consent. Late remittance constitutes just cause for revocation of all return privileges. After 45 days from the date of the sale, consignors have been paid. After consignors have been paid, any lot(s) that meet the above stated criteria for return can then only be returned for credit. 6. Absentee bids may be left prior to the auction, and will take priority over a matching internet or phone bid. In case of a tie absentee bid, the earliest received bid will take priority. Absentee bids can be emailed to us at ancientresourceauctions@yahoo.com or can be called in to us at (818) 425-9633.

If the matter is referred to an attorney for collection, bidder agrees to pay all reasonable attorney fees, court costs and other collection cost incurred by Ancient Resource Auctions to collect past due invoices and that the services of process by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, shall be sufficient to confer ?in personam? jurisdiction over bidder. 12.
