Conditions of Sale

1. CORRECTNESS OF DESCRIPTION: Robert C. Eldred Co., Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Eldred's) has exercised reasonable care to catalog and describe correctly the property to be sold, but neither Eldred's nor its consignors warrant the correctness of description, attribution, authenticity, or condition of said property. No statements shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability with respect thereto, but are to be construed as opinions only. Bidders are encouraged to personally examine all property to be sold prior to the beginning of the auction.

2. Unless otherwise all bids are per lot as numbered.

3. Eldred's reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale.

4. DETERMINATION OF HIGHEST BIDDER: The highest bidder at the stated ending time of the auction is the winning bidder. Bidding will be extended if a competing bid is placed within 5 minutes of the stated end time.

5. REJECTION OF BIDS: Eldred's reserves the right to deny bidding privileges.

6. TITLE: Except as herein otherwise provided, title will pass to the winning bidder, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser's sole risk and responsibility.

7. RESERVES: Unless advertised as an "Unreserved Auction", all sales may have items subject to reserve (an agreed upon price between the auctioneer and the consignor, below which the article will not be sold).

These Conditions of Sale cannot be altered except in writing by Eldred's or by public announcement by the auctioneer at the time of the sale. Bidding on any article(s) indicates acceptance of the terms set forth above.

Buyer's Premium

A 28% Buyer's Premium will be charged on all successful bids.

Contract

Your bid is a legally binding contract. Upon the closing of the lot, title will pass to the highest bidder, and the property is thereafter at the purchaser's sole risk and responsibility. Users must register and be approved to bid before the auction. Eldred's reserves the right to deny approval for any reason.

Condition Reports

Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves by personal inspection as to the condition of each lot. Although condition reports may be given upon request, such reports are statements of opinion only. Regardless of whether or not a condition report is given, all property is sold subject to Paragraph 1 of the Conditions of Sale, which provides that all property is sold "as is". All dimensions are approximate.

The absence of a condition report does not imply that the property is in good condition.

Eldred's will make every reasonable effort to respond to all emails or phone calls pertaining to an item's condition up until 24 hours before the sale. If there is no condition report, that does not necessarily mean the item is without repair, refinish, restoration etc.

It is the responsibility of the prospective purchaser to contact Eldred's if they are concerned about the condition of an item beyond what is listed online.
