Buyer's Premium. A buyer's premium will be charged in this sale.

Auctioneer is the agent of the Seller only. 6. Stop Payment/Insufficient Funds. Upon making payment for a lot(s), no stop payment of funds will be honored. Any stop payment order of a check, or giving a check which is returned marked ?insufficient funds,? shall be deemed by the parties to be prima facie evidence of fraud existing at the time the transaction was consummated and shall be construed by the parties as intent to defraud. 7.

In the event that the Bidder pays only a portion of the purchase price for any or all lots purchased, Auctioneer shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots as Auctioneer, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Shipping 23. Shipping is done in house by our professional staff. We use brand new boxes, foam wrap, bubble wrap, packing peanuts and other materials that are necessary in getting your items to you in the same condition that they were presented in the photos. We pack items based on the date invoices are paid in full. We pack as quickly and efficiently as possible but some items require more care than others. 24. We utilize a web-based shipping solution called Shipping Saint that allows us to offer commercial shipping rates. We do charge a small fee associated with the packing materials and labor, which supply costs and fees related to labor are disclosed in the shipping invoice. Within three (3) business days of the auction, you will receive an invoice with the hammer price and the appropriate buyer's premium based on the website you registered and bid through. Once payment in full has been received for the item(s), we will begin packing your item(s) and you will receive a separate shipping invoice from Shipping Saint that contains the shipping cost. Once the separate shipping invoice has been paid and we create a label, you will be notified via email and text about your tracking number and when you might expect to receive your new items. Any bidder refusing to pay the shipping and handling costs after the items have been paid for shall therefore surrender title to the items after 60 days have passed from the first invoice for shipping. Chargebacks on credit cards due to refusal to pay shipping will be disputed in a court of law in Washoe County, NV at the cost of the bidder. Further, we reserve the right to open an active dispute against any successful bidder on the LiveAuctioneer platform for refusal to complete the transaction. Grading 25. Grading was done strictly and by appearance of the item, not boxes and not running ability. We do NOT guarantee running ability of any item, unless it is expressly noted in the item description that the item has been oiled, lubed and runs. Absolutely no returns are accepted on items graded C5 or lower and on items that have no grade. After thirty (30) days from the date of the auction, we will not accept returns under any circumstances, including items that may be described differently due to new technologies or information. Harris Toy Train Auctions makes a reasonable effort to represent authenticity, originality and grade of items with maximum accuracy at the time of the auction. Payment for an auction item that is received by Harris Toy Train Auctions more than thirty (30) days after the auction date voids all rights to returns, for any reason. All items have been graded as per TCA standards that are as follows: C1 Junk-parts value only C2 Restoration required C3 Poor- requires major body repair: heavily scratched, major rust, missing parts, major restoration candidate C4 Fair-scratched: moderate, paint loss, dented, missing parts, surface rust, evidence of heavy use C5 Good- sign of play wear: with scratches and minor paint loss, small dents, minor surface rust, evidence of heavy use C6 Very good: minor scratches and paint nicks, minor spots of surface rust, free of dents, may have minor parts replaced C7 Excellent-all original: minute scratches and paint nicks, no rust, no missing parts, no distortion of component parts C8 Like New-complete all original: No rust, no missing parts, may show effects of being on display and/or age, may have been run C9 Factory New-brand new: all original, unused, may evidence factory rubs and the slightest evidence of handling, shipping and having been test run at the factory C10 Mint-brand new: all original, unused and unblemished. 26.
