Each lot in the auction is given a low and high estimate representing a range of values which is Stantons conservative auction evaluation. The actual prices realized can fall below or above this range. An estimate of the selling price should not be relied upon as a statement that this is the price at which the items will sell, or what their value actually may be.

The auctioneer will determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale, or re-offer to sell a lot or lots in dispute. Stantons Auctioneers will have the final discretion to resolve any disputes arising after the sale and in online auctions. If any dispute does arise, our sale record is conclusive. Subject to the conditions set forth, on the fall of the auctioneers hammer, title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer and the bidder will assume the full risk and responsibility for the item and will immediately pay the full purchase price.
