**SHIPPING POLICY IMPORTANT:**
Shipping procedures may vary slightly depending on the bidding platform used. Please read the specific instructions on your platform's checkout screen.
**A. How to Use Donley In-House Shipping
We offer professional, careful, and consolidated in-house shipping for most small-to-medium items.
*Platform Selection: If paying via a third-party platform (like LiveAuctioneers), you must opt-out of their automated shipping by selecting "Arrange Your Own Shipping" or "Local Pickup". This signals our office to pack your item.
*Separate Transaction: Shipping is NOT included in your auction invoice. Once your item is packed, you will receive a separate invoice via text/email from "Shipping Saint" containing the shipping cost and a payment link.
**B. General Shipping Terms (Applies to All Sales)
*Timeline: Please allow 2-4 weeks for our Shipping Department to pack your items. We handle a high volume of fragile items, and careful packing takes time.

**INTRODUCTION**
These Terms and Conditions of Sale govern all auctions conducted by Donley Auction Services, including those conducted online, via absentee bid, by phone, and in person. Donley Auction Services acts as an agent for consignors. Any announcements made by the auctioneer on the day of the auction take precedence over any printed or online information.
**1. BINDING CONTRACT**
When you bid on any item, you are entering into a binding contract. By registering and bidding, you agree to accept these terms and conditions.
**2. DISCLAIMER: MULTIPLE BIDDING PLATFORMS**
Donley Auctions uses multiple bidding platforms for our auctions (e.g., LiveAuctioneers, Proxibid, and In-House). To ensure fairness and transparency, bidders should be aware of the following:
Competing Bids: Absentee bids placed on one platform may compete with the highest bidder on other platforms.
Real-Time Delays: Platforms are not always synchronized in real-time. A bidder may not be the highest bidder even if their screen shows they are, as the auctioneer may have accepted a bid from the floor, a phone, or another platform.
Tie Bids: In cases where identical bids are received at the same time, the Auctioneer has sole discretion to accept the first bid recognized by the clerk. Donley Auctions cannot guarantee the order in which bids are received electronically.
Recommendation: To avoid potential disappointment, bidders are encouraged to bid LIVE or place their maximum absentee bids well in advance.

*No Warranties: Donley Auctions makes no representations or warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The bidder shall be the sole judge of value, condition, age, genuineness, and origin.
*Inspections: Descriptions and photos are provided as a courtesy. We strongly encourage bidders to inspect items in person during previews. Bidders who bid off-site understand that they may not be able to inspect an item as fully as in person.
