Buyer's Conditions of Sale
All prospective bidders must present identification and register for a bidder's number. Successful buyers must show their number on request. This number is the registrant's responsibility. Lost numbers must be reported immediately to release your liability.
The highest approved bidder shall be declared the buyer by the auctioneer(s). Any bid or monetary advance may be rejected by the auctioneer if he deems such bid injurious to the sale. Bidding may be re-opened between contending bidders should each claim the final bid. The auctioneer has sole and final discretion in any dispute.
Items sell in an "as is" condition and without recourse. No warranties or representations are expressed or implied. Since items are available for inspection prior to auction, it is assumed the buyer is fully aware of their condition, authenticity, etc. Items may be withdrawn prior to auction.
Payment in CASH or APPROVED CHECK sale day and before removal of purchased goods. The gallery clerical records are final in regards to bid price.
A buyer's premium of 15% percent will be added to the final bid price.
A 6% Pennsylvania Sales Tax is payable on the final bid price and the buyer's premium. Dealers claiming sales tax exemption must provide their current Sales Tax Exemption Certificate.
At knockdown all items become the sole property and responsibility of the buyer. The gallery is not responsible for items left on the premises either as to theft, fire, breakage, or any other hazard.
If the auctioneer(s) observes or suspects any individual(s) obstructing the practice of free and competive bidding, he may refuse any further bids from any individual(s) engaging in such practice.
CHECK POLICY: Checks accepted only by arrangement prior to sale day, otherwise goods will beheld until check clearance. This rule applies particularly for out-of-state checks and for infrequent buyers not already known to us. Ask for a prior clearance form or bring a letter of reference from your bank.
