Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been restored. Catalog descriptions include condition information where possible. If you have any questions regarding lots, contact the auction company prior to the auction. If you have questions on specific lots, since most pieces are packed for shipping to the auction site, call between Monday and Thursday of auction week, lots will be unpacked then. If you are unsure about a lot, for any reason, DO NOT BID. No items may be returned for any reason. SPECIAL NOT TO OUR BANK BUYERS: we do our very best to give you an accurate description on each item in our auction. The expertise of some of the craftsmen that repair and enhance the finish on some of these pieces makes their work nearly undetectable. Because of that we oftentimes find experts that disagree on the condition of the same bank. If we can identify a repair or recent change in the finish or a part, we call it out. We dont find all of them. We recommend you have an agent inspect, in person, any bank you have an interest in. If you have ANY CONCERN ABOUT THE CONDITION OF ANY BANK, DONT BID. YOU CANNOT RETURN IT. Wed much rather have a happy participant that didnt bid, than an unhappy one that did. 5. On-line bidders are subject to a 20% buyers premium. 6. All bids to be per lot as numbered at the sale site unless otherwise mentioned by the auctioneer. 7. Bidders are required to register and give full photo identification prior to the beginning of the sale and are required to use the number issued to them when identifying themselves as the successful bidder. Online bidders MUST complete registration with both eBay AND our online host LiveAuctioneers.com. Without both registrations complete and verified by LiveAuctioneers.com, you will be unable to bid. You can complete that online registration at liveauctioneers.com. Register early to make certain youre approved to bid. 8. The highest bidder will be declared the buyer.
