Terms & Conditions

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). *Credit cards associated with buyers' online bidding registrations are not automatically charged, nor do we have access to the card details. * Credit cards can be used for up to $5,000 of the invoice total and must have a U.S. billing address. Credit card payments will not be accepted for any jewelry or watch purchases. Your bid is a legally binding contract. Eldred's will pursue payment through all available means, including legal action. SHIPPING: We provide domestic shipping services directly from our gallery for certain items. We pack and ship some small items (not dolls or lots containing multiple pieces), small paintings without glass, and rugs. When we process your payment, we can determine if your item(s) qualifies for in-house shipping. We use UPS Ground for all of our shipping, which we find to be a reliable service. Our current shipping wait is about 3-4 weeks from the time of payment. For items that are not eligible for in-house shipping, please choose from the third party vendors below. To obtain shipping estimates from our third party vendors, please email them directly and let us know which shipper you choose to ship your item(s).
