Terms Regarding Property: All property is sold as is, and all statements contained in the auction description or elsewhere are qualified statements of opinion and not implied representation or warranty by us.

There may be some degree of wear and tear and discoloration; only significant blemishes or flaws are listed (e.g., metal may need polishing or cleaning, watches may need repairs). The absence of reference to the condition of property does not imply perfect or imperfect condition. All weights and measurements are approximate unless otherwise stated by gemology certificates presented in the auction, and each inventory item is carefully inspected. Appraisals: Our appraisal document, which accompanies items if mentioned in the listing, is provided for replacement purposes. In regards to valuation reports and appraised value, each report is meant only to estimate the approximate current MSRP retail asking price and/or replacement value of the item in the highest consumer retail market. The issuer and its employees hold no responsibility for the accuracy of MSRP listings. Returns and Cancellations: We do not accept any returns unless the item has been grossly misrepresented. We only accept cancellation requests if there is an error in the listing.

The auctioneer has the final discretion regarding the sale of any item.
