Toys with Character

1. In publishing this catalog, Bertoia Auctions has endeavored to accurately describe all items being sold, but all property herein offered for sale is strictly ?as is? and it is the bidder?s responsibility whether bidding in person, by mail, by telephone or by internet to determine the exact condition of each item. No statement in this catalog, bill of sale, invoice, or elsewhere by any representative of or person in the employ of Bertoia Auctions shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability with respect to age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance, provenance, or historical relevance of any of these items. Any such statements are strictly matters of opinion. Questions pertaining to the sale must be addressed the Wednesday before the actual sale; emails or fax inquiries received after this date may not be answered. 2. The Auctioneer will be the final judge as to which bidder is the highest bidder. In the event of any dispute in this matter, the auctioneer shall at their discretion decide to reopen the bidding or not. 3. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the Auctioneer?s ?hammer.? The purchaser shall assume full risk and responsibility of the lot purchased once title has passed. 4. The buyer shall be required to pay New Jersey Sales Tax (3.5%) in-house and (7%) shipped to NJ residents unless exemption is allowed under the laws regulating such tax. 5. Bids Absentee Bids: As a service to our customers who cannot attend the sale in person, Bertoia Auctions will execute absentee bids if so authorized by mail or fax. All lots purchased for absentee bidders will be done so at the lowest possible price regardless of the amount of the order bid. We cannot execute ?buy? bids. In the event of tie bids between absentee bidders and those present at the auction, preference will be given to the attending bidder. In the event of identical bids from absentee bidders, preference will be given to the first received. In the event a catalog error is discovered prior to the sale, Bertoia personnel will attempt to contact and inform the bidder well in advance, however, if the bidder cannot be contacted, Bertoia Auctions will retract the bid. Absentee bidders should use the enclosed form and clearly mark the lot number, title and maximum bid. To secure your bids, a 20% deposit will be required with all absentee bids. In the event that items purchased by absentee bid are not fully paid for within 30 days, the 20% deposit will be forfeited and the item will be resold. Telephone Bids: Bertoia Auctions will have telephone lines available for bidders who would like to participate by phone during the auction. To qualify for a phone line, the same procedure for absentee bids must be followed (see above). The absentee bid form must be completed and mailed or faxed with lot number, title, maximum bid ordered and the checkbox marked ?PHONE LINE REQUEST.? If the item has reached more than your bid order, you may at that time continue the bidding by phone. If it sells for less than your bid price, then like all absentee bids, it is yours for the hammer price . . . regardless of the amount of your bid. Bertoia Auctions cannot guarantee that all phone requests will be honored. Due to heavy demand at certain segments of the auction, it may be impossible to have a line available. Although Bertoia Auctions will try to accommodate each and every request, we cannot assume responsibilities for any missed calls due to human or technical error. In the event of a missed call, the written absentee bid will be executed. Requests for phone lines must be received no later than 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 13, 2011.
