July 15th Live Auction Event

Terms and Conditions of Auction By registering to bid, placing a bid online or bidding in any other manner offered, Bidders agree to the terms and conditions (written and/or announced) of this auction. This auction takes place in Arizona, so Arizona law applies. General. This is a cataloged auction and unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, the items will be offered in order, by lot number, as listed in the catalog. Buyers are given ample opportunity to preview items and are encouraged to consult with whom ever deemed appropriate to acquire satisfaction with regards to value, condition and authenticity of the items. The Auction House does its best to describe and photograph each lot however, those descriptions are our opinion and we cannot be experts in all fields, so it is ultimately the buyer's responsibility to inspect the item(s) to their satisfaction. Remember, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. In the event of a dispute of a bid, the validity of a bid, the priority of a bid, or any other issue with respect to bidding -- the auctioneer has final say. The title of a lot passes to the winning bidder upon cleared payment. Payment and Card on file. Bidders shall have a credit card registered with Western Trading Post prior to bidding activity. By agreeing to the terms and conditions and placing bids, bidders grant Western Trading Post permission to charge their credit card if necessary, without further question, for applicable charges related to purchases at the auction. An invoice paid by card is subject to an additional 3% credit card convenience fee. Charge backs by the cardholder are strictly prohibited and the buyer shall be held legally responsible for any such activity. Alternative forms of payment (check, money order, wire transfer, etc.) are also accepted (checks upon approval). Any invoice over $5,000 shall be paid by certified check or wire transfer. Certain gold and silver lots may also be required to be paid by certified funds. Items must be paid for in full on the day of auction for all in house bidders and a receipt is required prior to removal of any items and items must be removed on the day of auction unless arrangements have been made otherwise. Online bidders will be sent an invoice at the close of the auction (auctioneer may elect to charge the buyer's card for purchases before shipping is calculated). Once shipping is calculated, buyer will receive a final invoice and instructions on how to pay. This may include a Quickbooks invoice and/or wiring instructions. If we do not hear from online or absentee bidders within 24 hours, we reserve the right to charge their card and ship the item(s) to the address on file without further notice. New buyers paying by credit card or check, and buyers wishing to have items shipped to another address other than the billing address of the card they are using, are subject to having the auction house hold their items for up to 30 days in order to make sure the payment clears and there is no problems, chargebacks, etc.. *Please note, if your credit card is declined for any reason, a $15 service charge will be applied to your balance for each attempt to collect payment. A ?Buyer?s Premium? is added to the final hammer amount to help cover fees incurred by the auction house. The premium is as follows: In house, live bidders = 10%. Western Trading Post Website, App. or an Absentee bid left directly with us or Phone-in bids = 12%. Online Marketplace Platforms = 15% to 18% (varies from platform to platform, check auction details on each platform individually for fees) Arizona sales tax (8.7% in Casa Grande, AZ) applies to all purchases within the state unless a valid resale certificate is provided prior to bidding. ?Buy it Now? is a versatile option which may be offered at the discretion of Western Trading Post with the cooperation of Sellers. How this works is if a buyer is willing to pay the high estimate plus applicable fees (which would include a 10% Buyer's premium and applicable shipping and handling) for a particular auction lot, they can buy the item(s) now and not wait till auction day. This option goes away 48 hours before the auction starts (so everyone has 2 full days to see what will be in the auction) and is subject to seller approval (which we generally get at the time of consignment). Please see the description of the auction and/or lot descriptions for additional details. Estimates. The estimate range is provided as a guide for prospective bidders and is based on the condition, rarity, quality and provenance of the item(s) being offered. They do not constitute a warranty, representation, guarantee or prediction of a selling price. All estimates may be subject to revision at the Auction House discretion. Estimates do not include the buyer?s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges. The Auction House is not liable for any errors or omissions with respect estimates in the auction catalog. Property Condition. The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age. Dents, dings, scratches and other damage or repairs may be present,and is common, on used and vintage items. Opinions of condition may vary from person to person so items are available for preview well in advance of the auction. Please inspect thoroughly PRIOR to bidding. Read the condition report listed for each item and look at the pictures closely and form your own opinion. Winning Buyer assumes responsibility for their items and agrees to accept the item(s) AS-IS WHERE-IS and the Auction House shall not be held liable for unknown damage or problems with items which are known to the Seller, but were not disclosed or discovered by the Auction House.

Firearms: Any person(s) bidding on firearms in our auction are required to be at least 18 years of age for long guns and 21 years of age for hand guns. Western Trading Post llc. is a licensed Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealer. Any Bidders who desire to bid on and purchase any firearms in our auctions cannot have been convicted of a felony, have any restraining orders, or have any reason that they would not pass a NICS FFL background check. Western Trading Post llc. reserves the right to run a NICS FFL Background check on any purchaser of firearms. If the Bidder is a resident of the state of Arizona, they may pick up in person once cleared by the NICS FFL background check. Otherwise, firearms will be shipped to a Federal Firearm Licensed Dealer of your choosing nearest your residence.

Regarding Bidding: Internet, absentee, phone and other acceptable forms of bidding are offered as a convenience to bidders, but Western Trading Post will not be held responsible for any failures or problems in the execution of such bids. All bids are subject to the terms and conditions herein. The option of online and absentee bidding is made available for bidder?s convenience. Absentee bids may be entered by staff into the bidding system (possibly using a house bidding number) or can be entered by the bidder themselves directly into the online platforms. FYI, bidding on behalf of absentee bidders does not start at their maximum bid (unless otherwise instructed), but at the current asking bid. The system bids on behalf of the bidder, just the same as if the bidder was standing in the room bidding against the other bidders. If during the live auction, another bidder does not outbid what the absentee bidder is willing to pay, then the item will be won by the absentee bidder at what ever price was realized when the bidding terminated. Bidding Priority/Ties: Our auctions are often held on more than one platform simultaneously. When a lot opens for bidding during the live auction, if identical bids have been placed on more than one platform during the pre-bidding, we give priority to the bid placed on our site or app. Please note, it is rare, but possible for a bidder to win a lot for an amount equal to an absentee bidder?s bid. These so-called ?ties? will go to the bidder whose turn it was in the bidding in the live auction format. If this is not clear, please ask for further explanation of how bidding works in a live auction format, and realize bids are not technically accepted until acknowledged by the auctioneer. Regarding Shipping: Items bought online can generally be shipped by Western Trading Post, or we work with a few different shipping services (see catalog for specific lot details). But please remember, we are shipping the item(s) for you, at your expense and are not responsible for damage or loss caused by the shipping service. Once you purchase an item at the auction, it's yours, ?As Is, Where Is? and we are doing our best to assist you in getting it to you. We try to keep the cost of shipping reasonable and will combine postage cost as much as reasonably possible. The Buyer shall pay the shipping cost for items shipped, plus there is a minimum lot handling / packaging fee (see catalog listing for advertised cost). This charge is in addition to the cost of postage. We generally send packages priority mail with insurance, but if you want to make sure it is sent insured (or some other way), please let us know immediately after the auction. Remember, you take the risk for un-insured packages unless we were otherwise instructed. Please contact us if you have questions or specific instructions regarding shipping. Unless we hear from you, we will ship your items how we think it best. But either way, the buyer pays for shipping and handling and accepts all responsibility for their items. As a matter of disclosure, Western Trading Post may have a financial interest in any or all of the lots being presented for auction. This interest is, at the very least, a sales commission based on the final hammer price. But it may also include an ownership interest in some lots. We may also bid on some consignments and/or reserves could also be in place where we bid on behalf of the reserve. If you want to know of our possible financial or bidding interest in any particular lot, or if there is a reserve on a particular lot, please contact us before the auction (these questions will not be addressed during the auction or on that day).
