Items are sold to the highest bidder. HAKE?S BUYER?S PREMIUM IS 18%. Reduced to 15% for check or money order. Accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, check, money order and we will also accept payment by wire transfer. PayPal is not an accepted method of payment. The buyer's premium discount is only applicable if payment is received within 14 days from the close of the auction. Payments received after 14 days from the close of the auction are subject to the 18% buyer's premium regardless of method of payment. 3. Each item has a specific ?opening? or ?reserve? bid. If you are the first person to bid that amount, the item will be sold to you at that price unless another bidder raises your bid. Once an item has an opening bid, additional increases go in 10% increments (up to $99,999, 5% bid increments $100,000 to $499,999 and 2.5% bid increments $500,000 and up). Bids are posted on the internet as received or you may call prior to closing days between 9:30 A.M. - 5:30 P.M. Eastern time, Monday - Friday to learn current high bids and place bids. 4. Tie bids are decided by the earliest bid received. 5. Bidders must pay packing, postage and insurance costs. We ship U.S.A. orders via UPS unless: (1) you request U.S. postal service or (2) if your order consists of light weight items under $50 total value, we ship via 1st class or priority U.S. mail. Unless otherwise stated, all packages sent via UPS will require a signature. If you prefer UPS to just leave a package with no signature requirement, please contact us to let us know. Packages sent outside the U.S. are sent via either the U.S. postal service, surface or air, or UPS. All orders sent outside the U.S. will be insured. Hake?s will declare full value of each package on customs forms along with factual descriptions of items enclosed regardless of insurance option chosen. It is the bidder's responsibility to make sure their mailing and shipping address is updated. 6. Pennsylvania, Maryland, California, New Jersey, New York, Illinois and Virginia residents must pay state sales tax or provide re-sale number. Out of state bidders picking up items at our office are subject to 6% PA state sales tax, unless a copy of your re-sale number is provided. 7. Offers to ?top all other bids? are not accepted, but we can execute a bid on your behalf or inform you if your bid has been raised. See ?call-back? details on page 4 of the catalog or the Auction Closing Procedure section of our website. Hake?s specifically disclaims any responsibility or liability whatsoever for failing to execute a written bid, telephone bid, internet bid or call-back request on any bidder?s behalf. However, in the event of an error regarding a call-back bid, Hake?s may at its sole discretion re-open the bidding on an auction item. 8. Hake?s Auctions reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids by any bidder and the right to limit the number of high bid inquiries via telephone. 9. Bidders who have not previously purchased from Hake?s must accompany opening bids with a valid Master Card, VISA Card, Discover Card or American Express number and expiration date. Such a bidder authorizes Hake?s to charge auction purchases and shipping costs to that credit card. If Hake?s is denied authorization by the card issuer, the bidder agrees to remit payment in full within two weeks of notification that the credit card authorization was declined. If payment is not received within two weeks of notification the bidder is liable for the costs and legal fees Hake?s incurs in the collection of the debt. 10.

Bidding sales are not approval sales. Winning bids must be honored by bidders. We cannot assume any responsibility for errors made in the amount bid or lot numbers listed on bid sheets. Check bid sheets for accuracy. Errors in descriptions or our inability to fill an order are the only causes for a refund. Requests for adjustments must be made within three days of receipt of the items and accompanied by a letter of explanation. Late remittance for purchases, however, is cause to negate this privilege. No returns will be permitted for any reason after settlement is made with our consignors. 13. If an item is damaged in transit or missing from your order, DO NOT DISCARD ANY PACKING MATERIALS. CALL US IMMEDIATELY AT 866-404-9800 M/F 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM. See Loss Or Damage section below. 14. All material is genuine and no reproductions are offered in the catalogue. 15.

Hake's sends an email anytime you are outbid on an item. You may also request a telephone call back on the closing day of the auction.
