Please request your additional information in a timely manner. We will do our best to answer your questions. We make every attempt to list any condition beyond normal wear and tear as appropriate for the item and its age. Each lot is photographed in detail to help the potential buyer view any condition problems. Please review all of the information and photographs before placing your bid. Any request made after 5:00 pm on Friday may not be answered due to time and location constraints.

Where two absentee bidders bid the same amount the first received will be honored. Should there be a significant change in the condition of the item such as damage or discovery of a condition problem that a representative of Livingston’s Auction deems in the best interest of the absentee bidder that the bidder would change the bid the bid will NOT be executed. 7.
