Item Descriptions
While Vermont Proper Auction House strives to disclose any damage, repairs, or restorations, the absence of such details does not imply that an item is in perfect condition. Most items offered are antique, vintage, or pre-owned, and signs of wear consistent with age should be expected.
Preview inspections are available to allow for personal evaluation before placing bids. Condition reports may also be available upon request.
All items are sold as-is, where-is. All sales are final—no returns, credits, or exchanges.
Sales Tax
All sales are subject to applicable sales tax laws. Buyers who are tax-exempt must submit a valid state sales tax exemption certificate before the sale concludes. Once Vermont Proper Auction House receives and verifies this information, future purchases will be tax-exempt.
Tax resale forms can be uploaded through your membership profile. Please ensure that the name and address on your profile match those on your resale certificate.
Buyer’s Premium
