A-OK believes to the best of its knowledge that the information presented in any auction has come from reliable sources, however; such information is presented solely for the convenience of the prospective purchasers. A-OK attempts to catalog every lot correctly and will attempt to point out any defects but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. It is the responsibility of prospective bidders to examine all items in which they have an interest. By placing a bid, in any capacity, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire and have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from A-OK that you deem adequate. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, do not bid on the lot in question.

Neither A-OK nor the consignor, as applicable, make any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to property or its value, and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness of description, genuineness, attribution, provenance, authenticity, authorship, and completeness, condition of property or estimate of value. Any appraisals, Estimates, or evaluations provided are solely for the convenience of the bidder and A-OK makes no warranties of any kind relating to them. Appraisals may include valuations which reflect the full, highest retail price of the item in a specific geographic region. The terms Estimate or Estimated Value (collectively 'Estimate') as used herein may be an arbitrary value and may fail to represent an actual resale value, insurance replacement value, or cost of a similar good. Similarly, no appraisal value should be considered to represent the actual resale value, insurance replacement value, or cost of a similar good. No statement (oral or written) shall be deemed such a warranty or representation, or any assumption of responsibility.

All measurements given are approximate and within industry standards and customs. 3.

The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by A-OK. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on A-OK's part as to the validity of any bid, A-OK will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, A-OK's sale record is conclusive.

We accept checks and money orders. We will also accept wire transfers for order over $500.00. All checks will be held for 7-10 days and your winning lots will not be released for shipment until funds have cleared our bank. A bid entered by mistake on the part of a bidder is NOT grounds for a cancellation of the bid. Each bidder is responsible for his or her own account and bids. By allowing access to another who enters a bid without your knowledge will NOT be grounds for a rescission of the bid(s). Therefore, any bid made on your account will bind you to the bid in accordance with these terms. If an entity places a bid on a lot, then the person executing such bid on behalf of the entity hereby agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. 6.

Bidder's bid at all times represents an irrevocable offer by bidder to enter into a binding contract to purchase the lot in accordance with the specific provisions of the listing and these general terms and conditions, as applicable, even if a higher bid was received by A-OK. In the placing of any bid the bidder understands and agrees that the bid, once accepted by A-OK, will be the winning bid if there is no higher bid by another bidder.
