All items that cannot be shipped via USPS, UPS or DHL because of size or weight will be shipped by a freight company and the Buyer will be responsible for all packing and shipping charges. CONDITION OF ITEMS SOLD: We encourage Ebay Live Bidders to call or email with any and all questions. Ebay Live Bidders acknowledge that they have asked all questions about the items being auctioned. We do not accept an item on consignment without careful scrutiny. If we are aware of a known major defect, we reveal that defect in our description of that item in our catalog. However, during the Auction, the Auctioneer is not responsible to give the condition of each item being auctioned. It is the responsibility of each Buyer to inquire and ask questions about each item being sold. In our description of the item in our catalog or in our online description, every effort is made to give accurate information about the item and its condition. In the event of a gross misrepresentation of any item, a money back refund will be offered. Otherwise, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS OR ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE MADE ON ITEMS if we have represented the item accurately and fairly. In regards to condition, grading and authenticity, there is subjectivity to grading, condition and authenticity. Our on-staff Certified Appraisers make every effort to verify the condition, grade and authenticity of each item sold. When appropriate, leading outside authenticators are hired to give their expert opinion. However, even the opinions of experts can vary. Thus, we always try and provide the history of an item as we know it. However, we still encourage each Bidder to obtain information from their own expert of choice as to the condition, grade or authenticity of an item being sold. Appointments are accepted so an expert may examine any item for any potential Bidder. But, after the item is sold, as is the standard procedure for all auction companies, all merchandise is sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with no warranties, implied or expressed with respect to any grade or condition, or other adjectival description of the item. No warranties are made as to the merchantability of any item or its fitness for any purpose. All measurements are approximate. It is understood and agreed that the Auctioneer is acting as an agent only and shall in no case whatsoever by held liable by either party for the performance of any term or covenant of this agreement or for damages for non-performance thereof. The Purchaser does hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Auctioneer and Seller for any and all damages and claims of any type whatsoever caused during the sale or by the removal of the items purchased. The Auctioneer shall not be liable for non-delivery of any item or lot, other than to return to the Purchaser the deposit or sum paid on said item or lot. DISPUTES: If any dispute arises between two or more Bidders, the Auctioneer may put the item up for sale again and resell it to the highest Bidder, or the Auctioneer may limit the bidding to the parties involved in the dispute. The Auctioneer reserves the right to group one or more lots into one or more selling lots and to add or delete from lots at his or her sole discretion. The Auctioneer reserves the right to bid on items for Absentee Bidders, for Phone Bidders and Ebay Live Bidders. The Auctioneer also reserves the right to reject any and all bids for any reason. The Auctioneer also reserves the right to reject any bid which is only a fractional advance over the preceding bid. In the event that there is a dispute as the amount of the final high bid - it must be understood that all auctions are tape recorded. The tapes will be reviewed at the convenience of the Auctioneer. ITEMS SOLD ON RESERVE: For any item sold on reserve, bids on those items shall be subject to confirmation of the owner if the reserve amount is not reached. The owner may or may not accept the bid at their sole discretion. DEFAULT: In the event the Purchaser fails to pay the whole of the purchase price within the time set forth by the Auctioneer, and/or fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the Auction, the Auctioneer may file suit against the Purchaser for damages. The Purchaser agrees to pay any and all charges and expenses incurred by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this Auction, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees. BID INCREMENTS: All bidding and bid increments are controlled by the Auctioneer and accepted bids are at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer. Cut bids are accepted at the discretion of the Auctioneer. Because many of the Auctions conducted by Cripple Creek Auctions are conducted on Ebay Live in connection with live local auctions, a standardized bid increment schedule is necessary for the on-line bidders. Our standard bid increments schedule is provided to both Ebay Live Bidders and Local Bidders. However, the Auctioneer, at his or her sole discretion may change the bidding increments schedule.
