Jewelry & Home Decor Store Liquidation

Important notice: Cave Creek Auction usually auctions lots at the rate of 60-80 lots per hour. On some occasions the bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject a live simulcast bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via Live Bidding, you agree that Cave Creek Auction may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since live simulcast bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the online bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie live simulcast bids. Also please note that all Cave Creek Auction lots purchased through live simulcasting carry an 16% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. The lots listed in the catalog will be offered by Cave Creek Auction as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions: Before the Sale All lots are sold "AS IS" and are not eligible for return or refund. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. Just because a condition report is not provided with the item does that mean the item is in "perfect" condition. All lots are sold "AS IS" and without recourse, and neither Cave Creek Auction nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied, with respect to such lots. Neither Cave Creek Auction nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalog or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in this catalog, or in supplement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Cave Creek Auction makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchase will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Cave Creek Auction expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalog. We do not refund shipping. At the Sale Refusal of admission Cave Creek Auction has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in an auction and to reject any bid. Registration before bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the appropriate buyer's premium of the final bid price, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Cave Creek Auction before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Cave Creek Auction and that Cave Creek Auction will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent, or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. currency. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it. Telephone bids If a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone, but we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in conjunction with telephone bidding. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors, or the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion of Cave Creek Auction The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to the other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards in his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer's discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record in conclusive. Successful bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Cave Creek Auction sale record shall be conclusive.
