39th Annual Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale

ART AUCTION RULES The auctioneer sells each work of art in the order listed in the catalog. The auctioneer begins bidding at a stated dollar amount, and when a prospective buyer bids that amount, the auctioneer requests bids for a higher amount. This continues until no one responds to the next higher bid request. The auction pace is brisk. Approximately 15 works are sold per 1/2 hour. Live auctions close by announcement of the auctioneer. SETTLEMENT ONLINE BIDDERS: Successful online bidders will proceed with checkout through LiveAuctioneers.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The property available at the Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale will be offered and sold by the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce ("Chamber") as agent for the "consignor" under the following terms and conditions: The Chamber reserves the right to withdraw any artwork at any time before the actual sale. If the auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the artist's reserve value of the article offered, he may reject that offer and withdraw the article from sale; and if having acknowledged an opening bid, the auctioneer decides that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, he may reject the advance. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Chamber's sale records shall be conclusive in all respects. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog. With the fall of the auctioneer's gavel and a signed confirmation of purchase, title will pass to the highest bidder, who will pay the full purchase price thereof, plus a 20% buyer's premium. As title to the piece passes to that buyer, the buyer thereupon assumes risk and responsibility thereof. All artwork shall be removed by the purchaser or shipped at the purchaser's expense. Unless the sale is advertised and announced as a sale without reserve, each lot is offered subject to reserve. The consignor may bid upon its property as well as upon any other property offered. Please Note: 20% buyer’s premium is added to the final bid price for online bidders. In all instances, the copy right remains the property of the artist.
