*** PLEASE READ ***: Tie bids occur during this on-line bidding process and if your pre-entered maximum bid is equivalent to that of a floor bidder, you may not win that item. This is a result of the sequencing of bid offering during the live bidding, we do not discriminate between bidders and are not aware of ties when they occur, we are only aware that no advance in the bidding is offered. Although your bid may have been placed on eBay prior to the auction, seemingly preceding the floor bid, we do not receive your bid until we call for a bid advance while selling the item and it is at that time that your bid is officially registered with our auction. Earlier bids will take precedence between eBay bidders, but the on-line bidding does not create any precedence between floor bidders and eBay bidders. Please contact us or explore the eBay Live bidding policies for further information. To avoid the risk of losing to a tie, please bid during the live bidding on auction day. *** PLEASE READ ***: We have found in the course of selling the massive quantity of lots from this library, that on occasion, the final bidder information is not correctly recorded on eBay. Some items which were actually won by floor bidders are sometimes recorded as being won by eBay bidders, and vice versa. It is not a widespread problem, but it has happened a few times during each of our auctions. We assume this is the result of the amount of data that is being transfered simultaneously and inevitable technical imperfections. We are diligent to accurately enter the final bid information, but these discrepancies seem unavoidable. Our records take precedence over bidding results indicated on eBay and our invoicing will reflect the true final results. We regret this small amount of confusion, if you wish to avoid the risk of these technical mis-recordings, please contact us to enter absentee bids, or attend the live auction. By placing your bid on eBay, you accept the risk of any such bid history discrepancies. Again, we do not discriminate between bidders in any way, our goal is 100% customer satisfaction and if it were in our power, we would eliminate these discrepancies. Thank you. This is a very large inventory and we are cataloging to as detailed a level as is practical. As you will see, we have gone into closer inspection for titles which are selling singly. The small groups have received a general inspection by us during the cataloging process while the boxlots have simply been grouped and boxed. The books in this library are generally in good or better condition, most books that were in need of repair, have been professionally repaired. We have been very impressed by the presence of important illustrations, especially folding maps. We have found very few instances of missing illustrations, 99% of the folding maps and other illustrations in the antique books have been present upon inspection. We guarantee all items to be as represented, please apply your own judgment and expertise to any characteristics beyond those we have specifically stated as these items are selling as-is. We recommend attending our live preview before each auction. 20% buyer's premium will apply. Buyer pays for fixed shipping (amount indicated within each listing), FOB within the US by USPS Media Mail. Buyers who purchase multiple lots will receive a 30% discount on the shipping for all lots of equal or lesser shipping charge (buyer pays the full shipping amount for the heaviest lot, and receives a 30% discount off the shipping charges for all other lots in the same order). International orders may require mandatory insurance. If you are an international buyer, and are concerned about shipping cost, please contact us before bidding. Domestic insurance is available at $1.30 per $50.00 coverage, rates for international insurance can be quite volatile, so please ask for a quote.
