Book and Ephemera Auction - Nautical, etc.

*** 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 thousands of lots on eBay Live, that on rare occasion, the final bidder information is not correctly recorded on eBay. Some items which were actually won by floor bidders are sometimes listed as being won by eBay bidders, and vice versa. It is not a widespread problem, but it has happened a few times during our past auctions. We assume this is the result of the volume of data that is being transfered simultaneously and inevitable technical imperfections. We are diligent to accurately enter the final bid information, but these occasional 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 slight amount of confusion, if you wish to avoid the small 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 completely. Thank you. 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. 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. NOTE: all shipments with a total hammer value of $200.00 or greater will require mandatory insurance coverage and that charge will be added to the shipping amount on the invoices. All packages shipping to a New York address, or picked up at the auction location, will be subject to New York State 8% sales tax unless a valid New York State Re-Sale or Tax Exempt Certificate is presented. We will email invoices to all successful bidders on the Monday following each auction. Thank you for bidding.
