Condition, Returns & Disclaimers (Please Read Carefully)
ALL AUCTION ITEMS ARE SOLD “AS IS.” Please ask any questions prior to bidding — all items are sold as-is and are not returnable or refundable.
ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS. While we will do our best to list any damage, repairs, or restorations, the absence of these descriptions or condition notes does not imply that a lot is in perfect condition. Most of our items are antique, vintage, or pre-owned. You should expect signs of wear consistent with age, including possible repairs, damage, or alterations. The final judgment as to condition and value is ultimately up to the BIDDER.
We will always share our best opinion about items, but please do your own research as well. Questions are ALWAYS encouraged before bidding. Photos are an integral part of the description — examine them carefully.
Every item is uncertified unless explicitly stated otherwise. If an item is described as silver or gold, it has been tested or marked as noted; however, we cannot guarantee stone origin (lab-created, enhanced, etc.).
________________________________________
Liability & Shipping Loss
• After items leave our possession, the buyer assumes responsibility. We will provide tracking numbers; any loss or damage after shipment must be handled with the carrier.
• We recycle packing materials and boxes to help keep costs down.
• We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged mail, or for issues caused by an incorrect or incomplete address.
________________________________________
Payment, Tax & ID Requirements
• Buyer’s Premium: A buyer’s premium of 18% will be added to the final price and charged to the credit/debit card on file at auction close. Please consider this additional cost before bidding.
