Please read thoroughly: Terms and Conditions of Auction By registering to bid, placing a bid online or bidding in any manner offered, Bidders agree to the terms and conditions (written and/or announced) of this auction. This auction takes place in Arizona, so Arizona law applies. General. This is a cataloged auction and unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer, the items will be offered in order, by lot number, as listed in the catalog. Buyers are given ample opportunity to preview items and are encouraged to consult with whom ever deemed appropriate to acquire satisfaction with regards to value, condition and authenticity of the items. The Auction House (WTP) does its best to describe and photograph each lot however, those descriptions are our opinion and we are not experts in all fields, so it is ultimately the buyer's responsibility to inspect the item(s) to their satisfaction. In the event of a dispute of a bid, the validity of a bid, the priority of a bid, or any other issue with respect to bidding -- the auctioneer has final say. The title of a lot passes to the winning bidder upon cleared payment. Estimates. The estimate range is provided as a guide for prospective bidders and is based on the condition, rarity, quality and provenance of the item(s) being offered. They do not constitute a warranty, representation, guarantee or prediction of a selling price. Estimates may be subject to revision at the discretion of WTP. Estimates do not include the buyer?s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges. WTP is not liable for any errors or omissions with respect estimates in the auction catalog. Property Condition. The physical condition of products offered can vary due to age. Dents, dings, scratches and other damage or repairs may be present, and is common, on used and vintage items. Opinions of condition may vary from person to person so items are available for preview well in advance of the auction. Please inspect thoroughly PRIOR to bidding. Read the condition report listed for each item and look at the pictures closely and form your own opinion. Bidder/Buyer assumes responsibility for ascertaining the condition of an item in their opinion. A ?Buyer?s Premium? is added to the final hammer amount to help cover fees incurred by WTP. The premium is as follows: 15% (with a 2% discount offered if paid by cash, check, certified funds or wire transfers). Online Marketplace Platforms have an additional premium added (usually 5% over the WTP rate) as a pass thru of their premium fee charged to WTP. Check auction details on each platform individually for specific fees. State sales tax applies. Applicable sales tax is added to purchases within AZ (and any other states when applicable) unless a valid resale certificate is provided prior to bidding. ?Buy it Now? is a versatile option which may be offered at the discretion of Western Trading Post, with the cooperation of Sellers. How this works is if a buyer is willing to pay the high estimate plus applicable fees (which would include a 13% Buyer's premium and applicable shipping and handling) for a particular auction lot, they can buy the item(s) now and not wait till auction day. This option is generally available during the first five days the auction is posted on our website and is subject to seller approval (which we generally get at the time of consignment). Please see auction description for details. Item Withdrawal. WTP reserves the right to withdraw any lot when sold through the buy it now option, or for any other reason, and neither assumes nor accepts any liability contemplated by a potential buyer for such withdrawal.

In house bidders must pay for items in full on the day of the auction and a receipt is required prior to removal of any items.

Any Bidders who desire to bid on and purchase firearms in our auctions cannot have been convicted of a felony, have any restraining orders, or have any reason that they would not pass a NICS FFL background check.

Regarding Bidding: Internet, absentee, phone and other acceptable forms of bidding are offered as a convenience to bidders, but Western Trading Post will not be held responsible for any failures or problems in the execution of such bids. All bids are subject to the terms and conditions herein and it is ultimately the bidder who is responsible for making sure a bid is presented to the auctioneer in a timely manner. Absentee bids may be entered by staff into the bidding system (possibly using a house bidding number) or can be entered by the bidder themselves directly into the online platforms. FYI, bidding on behalf of absentee bidders does not start at their maximum bid (unless otherwise instructed), but at the current asking bid. The system bids on behalf of the bidder, only as necessary, just the same as if the bidder was standing in the room bidding against the other bidders. If during the live auction, another bidder does not outbid what the absentee bidder is willing to pay, then the item will be won by the absentee bidder at what ever price was realized when the bidding terminated. WTP is not responsible in any way for a potential bid not reaching the auctioneer or being recorded in time to be recognized before a lot closes. Bidding Priority/Ties: Our auctions are often held on more than one platform simultaneously. When a lot opens for bidding during the live auction, if identical bids have been placed on more than one platform during the pre-bidding, we give priority to the bid placed on our site or app. Please note, it is rare, but possible for a bidder to win a lot for an amount equal to an absentee bidder?s bid. These so-called ?ties? will go to the bidder whose turn it was in the bidding in the live auction format. If this is not clear, please ask for further explanation of how bidding works in a live auction format, and realize bids are not technically accepted until they are acknowledged by the auctioneer. As a matter of disclosure, Western Trading Post may have a financial interest in any or all of the lots being presented for auction. This interest is, at the very least, a sales commission based on the final hammer price. But it may also include an ownership interest in some lots. We may also bid on some consignments and/or reserves could also be in place where we bid on behalf of the reserve. If you want to know of our possible financial or bidding interest in any particular lot, or if there is a reserve on a particular lot, please contact us before the auction (these questions will not be addressed during the auction or on that day).
