Absentee Bids (only online bidding at this time) ?Plus? bids: Because of our structured bidding increments, it is more likely that several people will leave identical bids.

Absentee bids left with third party online bidding platforms are sent to the auction house as the lot comes up for auction and not before. There is no time advantage to absentee bids left with third party online bidding platforms.

They have no timed advantage. 12.

The Auction House prohibits consignors from bidding on their own property, but may implement the reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor at the auction up to the reserve. 14. Estimates The estimates provided in this catalogue are our opinion of the price that a willing buyer would pay for the property at auction, based, where possible, on prices paid for comparable items sold in the past.

No Modifications These Terms of Sale may not be changed unless the Auction House and buyer have agreed to do so in a written agreement signed by both parties. 23. Export or Import - Endangered/Threatened/Prohibited Species The State of California prohibits the import, sale, purchase, barter, or possession with intent to sell of any ivory, ivory product, rhinoceros horn, or rhinoceros horn product with exceptions that are irrelevant to commercial sale. As used in this act ?Ivory? means tooth or tusk from any animal, including, but not limited to an elephant, hippopotamus, mammoth, narwhal, walrus, or whale, or any piece thereof, whether raw ivory or worked ivory, or made into, or part of, an ivory product. As concerns worked products made of species legal to sell under current Federal guidelines, it is the sole responsibility of buyers to familiarize themselves with International and U.S. state laws or requirements for import and export; to identify and obtain any necessary export, import, endangered species or other permit prior to bidding; and to abide by International and U.S. laws and requirements. The Auction House and the Consignor make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is or is not subject to export or import restrictions or any embargoes and will have no responsibility with regard to these matters. a) International: Several countries do not allow the importation of lots containing materials made from endangered species. This includes, but is not limited to coral and tortoiseshell. An export license may be required for the export of certain materials, as well. b) State of California: California Penal Code sections 653o - 653r make it illegal to import into California for commercial purposes, to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of any polar bear, leopard, ocelot, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, sable antelope, wolf (Canes lupus), zebra, whale, cobra, python, sea turtle, colobus monkey, kangaroo, vicuna, sea otter, free-roaming feral horse, dolphin or porpoise (Delphinidae), Spanish lynx, or elephant. Starting in 2015, it will be unlawful to import into this state for commercial purposes, to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of any crocodile or alligator. Should a buyer in California state an intent to sell the certain animal parts named in California Penal Code sections 653o - 653r, the Auction House reserves the right to reject bids and refuse to ship. Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) has been listed in in the most restrictive category of endangered species, CITES Appendix I, since June 11, 1992. Brazilian rosewood demonstrably acquired before June 11, 1992, and any product made from such wood, is considered to be pre-Convention under CITES. The United States currently issues a pre-Convention certificate under CITES for international trade. The E.U. includes Brazilian rosewood in Annex A, which means that pre-Convention specimens generally may not be imported into the E.U. for commercial purposes unless accompanied by an import permit proving acquisition before March 1, 1947. Other nations have their own import requirements. As a result, the Auction House will sell property made from Brazilian rosewood, in whole or part, only to buyers residing in the United States. The Auction House will ship only to addresses in the United States. Inquiries from international buyers prior to sale will be handled on a case-by-case basis. 24. Miscellaneous Private Sales: These Terms of Sale shall apply to both auction and private sales of property. Paragraph Headings: Paragraph and subheadings are included in these Terms of Sale for ease of reference and should not be used to interpret the meaning of the substantive provisions. Addendum to Terms of Sale: Jewelry For centuries, natural gemstones have been enhanced in a variety of ways, including heating, oiling and other methods. These treatments are accepted by the international jewelry and gemstone trade. Cain auctions makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to whether natural stones have been treated or enhanced, whether specifically referenced or not. All stones have been identified by standard gemological field tests as the mounting permits and the Auction House will make available to prospective buyers any gemological certificates in its possession. It will not always be feasible to obtain a qualified lab report on every stone offered through the Auction House. Buyers wishing to have a grading or gemological report from an independent recognized laboratory such as the Gemological Institute of America, the European Gemological Laboratories or the American Gemological Institute may request one at their own expense or hire an independent adviser of their choosing. Weights given are based solely on measurements and known gemological formulae; they are approximate, not exact. Weight may differ once a stone is removed from its setting. Buyers are advised to verify weight estimates prior to auction Addendum to Terms of Sale: Coins and Currency Grading is a not an exact science. It is a matter of opinion as to condition and other attributes. Because of this, grading can and will differ among third party grading services (even though consensus grading is employed by most), independent experts, dealers, collectors and auction houses, including our own. Due to the subjectivity of coin and currency grading, a given piece evaluated twice by the same expert may be assigned a different grade each time. Opinion as to the grading, condition or other attributes of any property may have a material effect on value. Therefore all coins and currency are served "As-Is, Where-Is," by the Auction House except as to authenticity, as expressly stated in the Terms of Sale. They are sold without any additional express or implied warranty, including, but not limited to, grade. This includes all coins and currency, including, but not limited to, those: Referencing the opinion of a third-party grading service; With no reference to the opinion of a third-party grading service; With reference to the opinion of Auction House as to grading; Subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service for determination or certification; Encapsulated and therefore unable to be physically examined. The Auction House reserves the right to differ with the grades assigned to property, by certificate or otherwise, regardless of the grading service and will not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination or certification by third-party grading services including, but not limited to, National Guaranty Company (NGC), Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) and Currency Grading and Authentication (CGA) or any other any grading service, third party organization or dealer. There is no guarantee or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards utilized by the Auction House will meet the standards of any grading service at any time in the future. The Auction House has graded uncertified coins and currency with reference to the current interpretation of the American Numismatic Association ?s standards at the time of grading. The Auction House reserves the right to re-grade property re-consigned for any reasons, including, but not limited to a change of grading standards, differences in opinion, mishandling over time. The Auction House will not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated coins or currency. In any such instance, purchaser ?s remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying. Please note: Certain types of plastic may react with a coin ?s metal or transfer plasticizer to notes, causing damage. Avoid storage in materials that are not inert. Catalog illustrations may not be to scale or reflect the depicted property ?s actual size.
