If you do not want to pay the 3% , please send a check for invoices under $3,000, or wire transfers for invoices over $3,000. 1) These terms control this auction in all regards and supersede all previous announcements, advertisements and published information however distributed, except for any announcement made by Auctioneer during the auction, which will take precedence and be controlling in all instances.

Bidder agrees to leave the auction site immediately and quietly upon request by Auctioneer.

Twenty Percent (20%) Buyer's Premium is in effect for this Auction. This means a surcharge of 20% will be added to the amount of the highest bid for each lot to determine the final selling price for that lot. 4) Catalogs and brochures are guides based on information from sources believed to be reliable, but their accuracy cannot be guaranteed or warranted. Auctioneer will not be liable for any errors or omissions. 5) Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot, or portion of a lot, from the auction or to cancel the entire auction without notice or liability to Auctioneer or Seller. Auctioneer may also determine minimum acceptable increments to advance the bidding. 6) Each lot will be sold AS IS, WHERE IS with all defects and faults, no warranties or guarantees of any kind will be given, including no warranty of fitness, merchantability or suitability. Bidders should carefully inspect each lot to determine condition and contents. All measurements are approximate. Bidder acknowledges that all lots were available for inspection prior to the auction and that he relied solely on his own inspection of the lots and not on any information listed in the catalog or otherwise provided by Auctioneer, the auction staff or Seller. Note: Certain property sold at auction may be subject to restrictions on its export or resale. For example, restrictions may be imposed under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, the Migratory Bird Act of 1982, C.I.T.E.S. (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also known as the Washington Convention) and the conservation laws of the state in which the auction is conducted. In order to export certain items, the potential successful high-bidder should research the relevant regulations to determine if he/she must obtain a special license or licenses. Although licenses can be obtained to export some items that are the subject of these, or other laws, other items may not be exported and some property may not be resold in the United States. (Examples of regulated or prohibited items would be; Ivory, whalebone, etc.). Prospective purchasers who intend to export or resell restricted items or items that may be restricted are solely responsible for familiarizing themselves with the laws, rules, customs and regulations regarding export or import of restricted items and for obtaining necessary licenses BEFORE BIDDING. Auctions Neapolitan can not and does not ensure the purchasers that such licenses are or will be obtainable. 7)A buyer may request to return a Lot if the physical property materially differs from the information listed, or if the description is, in any material respect inaccurate under the following terms: a) Buyer bid via the Internet and was not physically present, or represented by an agent who was present, during the auction or during any inspection period. b) Buyer requested and received a written condition report prior to bidding. c) Buyer paid for the lot within 10 (ten) business days of the auction. d) Buyer made timely shipping arrangements, and item was shipped within 10 (ten) business days of payment. d) Buyer provides notice of intent to return within a reasonable time after receiving the Property, but in no event longer than 20 days after auction. f) Buyer returned the property to the Seller within 5 (five) business days of Notice to Return. g) The item is in the same condition as when sold. h) A consignor may dispute the allegations for a return.

Both will be reviewed and the decision of the Auctioneer shall be final and binding on both buyer and seller. i) All shipping costs, duties, tariffs and / or other expenses incurred are non-refundable. At no time shall Auctioneer be liable for more than the fee amount earned from the consignor of the disputed lot if the buyer does not fulfill the requirements stated above. 8) The highest bidder for a lot recognized by Auctioneer will be the Buyer subject to the satisfaction of any reserve amount for that lot. A lot is sold when the Auctioneer indicates it in customary manner. Bidder agrees, without exception, that if he is the highest bidder for a lot and it is sold to him, an enforceable contract of sale is immediately formed and no further writing of any kind will be required from him to satisfy any decision, principle, rule, statute or other requirement in law or equity. 9) Bidder should assume that all Lots are reserved unless otherwise stated. Auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of consignors up to, but not more than, the pre-established reserve to protect against selling at a price below the seller's reserve. This may be accomplished as necessary by placing successive bids, or bids in response to buyers' bids. 10) Prearranged absentee bids are accepted by phone, by mail, via the Internet, in person, and by fax. Absentee bids are requested no later than two hours before the auction begins.
