Terms & Conditions

Terms of Sale for Sunday, May 7th and Saturday, May 13th 2006 Please read the following "Terms of Sale" carefully. These terms are applicable to all floor bidders and mail bidders in this auction, collectors and dealers alike. Your submission of bids in this auction constitutes your acceptance of these "Terms of Sale." 1. This is an auction sale, not an approval sale. At the fall of the gavel or upon the auctioneer's call of "Sold," all sales are final. By bidding in this auction, the bidder personally guarantees payment. The auctioneer has final discretion in all matters. In case of dispute, the lot(s) in question may be resold. Lots will be sold in their numerical sequence unless the auctioneer directs otherwise. 2. Payments must be made in full and lots must be removed the day of the sale. Absolutely no lots will be released until payment in full has been made. Payment (in U.S. funds) may be made in cash, by personal check (with proper identification, at the discretion of Malter Galleries Inc.), or by Master Card or Visa credit cards if the purchase is over $100. Please note that a 5% additional charge will be added to all credit card and PAYPAL transactions. 3. A 15% buyer's premium will be added to the final hammer price of each lot, and will be paid by all bidders, without exception! Purchased via Ebayliveauctions.com will be charged a 20% buyer’s fee. 4.

Lots delivered outside of California are exempt from state sales tax. 5. No lots purchased by a floor bidder may be returned, including those lots where the bidder is acting as agent for another, or to mail bidders who have, examined the lot(s). There are no returns or refunds except for reason of lack of authenticity. Claims to the contrary must be made in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of material. No lots may be returned without prior written consent. Late remittance constitutes just cause for revocation of all return privileges. In no event may any lot(s) be returned after thirty (30) days from the date of the auction. All sales are then FINAL! 6 EMAIL, FAX and PHONE BIDS may be left prior to and or during the auction, and will take priority over an identical floor bid. In case of a tie mail bid, the earliest received bid will take priority. Mail bids sent via postal mail, E-mail, FAX or phone will be executed by Malter Galleries Inc. at no charge. Your bids will be started at a small increment over the next highest bid, saving the bidder money wherever possible. Malter Galleries Inc. is not held responsible for any errors in bidding made on behalf of a mail bidder. Bidding for lots without mail bids is generally opened at 60% of the estimated price. Malter Galleries Inc., reserves the right to refuse any mail bids under 60% of the estimates.

Coins and antiquities will be mailed only upon receipt of payment in full and will be insured for their full value where applicable. All lots are shipped at the buyer's risk upon clearance of payment. 8. Estimates (indicated at the end of a lot description) are given only as a guide, and are not given as starting points for bidding. Bidding will start at an increment above the second highest mail bid received. Lots may sell for a price greater than or less than these estimates. 9. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may bid further on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive bids for any lot, or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
