CONDITIONS L.L.A.E.S., Ltd. has endeavored to accurately describe the items being sold, but all property offered for sale is strictly ?as ? is? ?where ? is? with all faults. All sales are final and no refunds are given. The sales records and recordings shall be conclusive. It is the bidder?s responsibility to determine the exact condition/authenticity of each item. No statement in this catalogue or by representatives of L.L.A.E.S., Ltd. shall be considered as a warranty or assumption of liability. Written and oral descriptions given by L.L.A.E.S., Ltd. staff members are given as a courtesy to a client, are only an opinion, and should not be considered as a guarantee of age, composition, or authenticity. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear or imperfections. By bidding, you signify that you have either closely examined the items, have chosen not to examine them, or have hired an independent agent to examine the item(s) for you. Condition reports are available via the online catalog or by contacting the LLAES, Ltd. office. AUCTIONEER Leland J. Little, NCAL#6139; NCFL#7452. The auctioneer always reserves the right to withdraw a lot for any reason he deems appropriate, including any lots that may have a reserve, or if there is a lack of bidding interest or lack of appropriate bids. L.L.A.E.S., Ltd. shall have the right to withdraw any item at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute. ABSENTEE AND TELEPHONE BIDS Arrangements for absentee or phone bidding can be made by completing and submitting the Absentee Bid Form by 5:00 pm the day prior to sale day.

All bids are time stamped. In case of identical bids, the first bid received will take precedence. Where appropriate, written bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the auctioneer?s bidding increments.

L.L.A.E.S., Ltd. assumes no responsibility or liability in the event a bidder fails to do so.

LIVEAUCTIONEER BIDS Live internet bidding is available during the auction. Current bids on the internet will be executed on your behalf during the auction by www.LiveAuctioneers.com.
