The Best of Texas and Taxidermy

Shield Auctions has endeavored to accurately describe all items being sold. However, the photographs are the only intended descriptive items that a prospective buyer should use to evaluate whether to purchase the item. All items are sold as is, where is, with all faults. There are absolutely no warranties or representations of merchantability, of fitness, nor of any other kind, express or implied. All items are available for your examination prior to bidding. You can request more pictures if needed, or come to our location and examine any item in-person. Your bidding will signify that you have examined the items as fully as desired or that you have chosen not to examine them. Please note that photographs may have had size modifications for display purposes, or been trimmed to exclude framing, matting, and wide blank margins. Also, imperfections from the photography process can include reflections and variations in color due to digital processing. Shield Auctions shall have no responsibility for any error or omission. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear, imperfections, or aging. Any condition statement, written or verbal, is given as a courtesy to the client and is only an opinion. It should not be treated as a statement of fact. Written and oral descriptions are our opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to age, condition, materials, or any other feature of items being sold. Our goal is to provide prospective bidders with accurate and detailed information. We recommend prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, we recommend you not bid on the item in question. Estimates provided are our opinion of the price that a willing buyer would pay for the property at auction. These estimates are neither a representation nor a prediction of the actual selling price that will be realized at auction. All sales are final. No statement, written or oral, made by the auctioneer or a representative of Shield Auctions shall be deemed a warranty or assumption of liability by Shield Auctions or by any seller represented by Shield Auctions.
