Conditions of Sale Contract: Your bid is a legally binding contract. Upon the fall of the auctioneer's hammer, title will pass to the highest bidder, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser's sole risk and responsibility. Users must register and be approved to bid prior to the auction. Eldred's reserves the right to deny approval for any reason. If you are the winning bidder, Eldred's demands payment within seven (7) days of receiving your invoice. Eldred's will pursue payment through all available means, including legal action. If you do not intend to pay, DO NOT BID. Absentee Bids: Your maximum bid is kept confidential from the auctioneer. It is therefore possible, in the normal course of soliciting bids from other auction participants, that the auctioneer could sell an item to another bidder for the same amount as your maximum bid. This is a rare, yet unfortunate and unavoidable occurrence. THE WINNING BIDDER IS ALWAYS DETERMINED BY THE AUCTIONEER. Payment: Eldred's requires payment within seven (7) days of receiving your invoice. Payment can be made by check, money order or electronic transfer (wire fees from $12 to $30 apply). We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover for invoices totaling $5,000 USD or less, provided the credit card has a U.S. billing address. Credit cards are not accepted for jewelry purchases and other items at our discretion. Your bid is a legally binding contract. Eldred's will pursue payment through all available means, including legal action.

NO ITEMS WILL BE RELEASED FOR SHIPPING OR DELIVERY UNTIL PAYMENT HAS CLEARED. Shipping: We require prompt payment and removal of your purchases as stated in Paragraph 12 of our Conditions of Sale. Arrangements to pick up or ship your purchases must be made within seven (7) days from the close of the auction. All items must be removed from Eldred's facilities within fourteen (14) days of the close of the auction. All items remaining after fourteen days may be subject to a $5/per item/per day storage fee.
