Day 3: Classic Fine Art

We package and ship the winning lots of successful bidders from our live and timed auctions as well as lots purchased during our after-auction periods (via Buy It Now and Accepted Offer). Local pickup is also available. Please contact us by telephone at 1-602-266-8482 or email us at shipping@stanfordauctioneers.com to make pickup arrangements. After we receive payment for your won/purchased lot(s) we will contact you regarding the shipping cost. The shipping cost will be sent to you via email on a separate invoice payable via debit/credit card. We ship via USPS (United States Postal Service) Priority Insured mail within the United States of America. We ship via both USPS and United Parcel Service (UPS) for international shipments, the carrier depending on insurance availability and limitations, cost, destination, etc. We only assess the actual shipping cost, including insurance, provided to us by the USPS or UPS and there is no fee for labor (special handling, packing, etc.) nor materials, which are provided free of charge as a thank you for your business. We make every attempt to secure shipping insurance equal to the combined sum of the purchase price of each lot to be shipped. If an insurance claim becomes necessary the purchaser is responsible for follow-up with the carrier. On rare occasions after a live auction we may become overwhelmed with shipping requests so that in some cases it may take up to 15 to 25 working days to ship your won lots. In this case in order to continue to offer you prompt shipping we may refer you to a local shipper, generally a UPS Store and one with whom we have an established relationship. If you have questions about the shipping of your winnings/purchases please call us at 1-602-266-8482 or email us at: shipping@stanfordauctioneers.com. [September 12, 2024]

The buyer's premium ('BP') refers to a percentage amount on the hammer price (winning bid amount at auction) of the lot that is paid by the winning bidder. Among other uses, it covers administrative expenses related to a traditional auction that is also available live on the internet. In addition, it includes the fees that the third-party auction 'aggregators' charge the auctioneer to host the auction online. The BP is applicable to all successful purchases of lots initially offered for sale in any live SA auction and applies to lots purchased by floor bidders, telephone bidders, absentee bidders, internet bidders, and 'off-line', after-auction, and after-sale bidders. In its sole discretion SA may reduce or eliminate the buyer's premium percentage amount that is paid for any said lot(s) by any such bidder. Our current increments and premium percentages are as follows: From $ 0 to 99,999 BP % 24.50 From $100,000 to 499,999 BP % 16.50 From $500,000 and up BP % 8.50. [June 3, 2024]

We accept floor bids, absentee (left/order) bids left directly with us before or during the auction, telephone bids during the auction, and internet bids (either left with a on-line bidding platform before or during the auction or bidding live during the auction). We do not accept unlimited/buy bids. If you wish to attend the auction please contact us for the auction location. For absentee bids to leave with us directly you can print out the bidder's form from our website and fax, email, or mail it to us, or you can call to leave bids directly with us. To arrange telephone bidding please consult the absentee/telephone bid form found at our web site and then call us. Likewise, if you have questions on absentee bidding please feel free to call or email us. All lots in our auctions, regardless of pre-sale estimate prices, are available for telephone bidding. Please note, however, that if you are approved for telephone bidding you are expected to bid at least the published starting bid/opening price (generally the reserve) of the lot(s) you have registered to bid on. A limited number of telephones are available so please sign up for telephone bids as soon as possible before the auction. Registered bidders, whether on the floor, telephone, absentee, or bidding live via the Internet, are responsible for all bidding activity on their account. Your bid is a contract. Place a bid only if you're serious about buying the item. If you are the successful and winning bidder you have entered into a legally binding contract to purchase the property bid on from us. You should contact us to resolve any questions before bidding. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information about Bidding. [June 3, 2024]

Please note that this sale is a traditional live auction and not a timed auction. We start with lot #1 and continue in numerical lot order until we sell the last lot. Some lots sell quickly, others take a while. We sell approximately 120 to 150 lots per hour, so you should be able to calculate roughly when the lot(s) you are interested in will be up for sale. Please be prepared to bid quickly when your lot(s) come up for sale. The duration of the auction is approximately three to five hours long, and we have no way of knowing precisely at what hour or minute your lot(s) will be up for sale. [June 3, 2024]

Condition, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. When we list condition information for a lot it is our opinion only. The absence of condition information does not mean the item is in perfect condition. We urge you to request a full condition report for any items in which you have an interest. Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for more detail about Condition. [June 3, 2024]
