Terms: A: Mound City Collectibles and Auctions LLC (“Auctioneer”) stipulates the following terms apply to any this auction. Anyone bidding on any item or purchasing any item from this auction by their participation in this auction agrees to be bound by these terms. This auction will be conducted in MO. and MO. laws shall apply in any dispute. Any auction or suit of any kind must be commenced within one (1) year from the date then the cause of action or suit accrued or it will be forever barred. The right of action or suit will accrue, and the one (1) year limitation period will begin to run, on the date the breach, damage, or injury is sustained and not when the resulting cost, damage, harm, or loss is discovered. All items are being sold "AS IS, WHERE IS". Mound City Auctions makes no representation or warranties (expressed or implied) or arising from usage of trade, as to the merchantability or fitness for any general or particular purpose of any item of inventory.
The Auctioneer has reserved the right to reject any and all bids, and to bid at the auction. Auctioneers Auctions are not on approval. Auctioneer does not allow certified material to be returned because of possible differences of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any third party organization, dealer, or service. Absolutely no guarantee of grade is offered for un-certified property sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Under extremely limited circumstances, (e.g. gross cataloging error) a purchaser, who did not bid from the floor, may request Auctioneer to evaluate voiding a sale; such request must be made in writing detailing the alleged gross error, and submission of the lot to the Auctioneer must be pre-approved by the Auctioneer. Bidder must notify Auctioneer in writing of such request within three (3) days of the non-floor bidder receipt of the lot. Any lot that is to be evaluated must be in our offices within 30 days after Auction. Grading does not qualify for this evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of a lot. AFTER THAT 30-DAY PERIOD, NO LOTS MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. Lots returned must be housed intact in the original holder. No lots purchased by floor Bidders may be returned (including those Bidders acting as agents for others). Late remittance for purchases may be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. B: Auctions conducted solely on the Internet have a THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY: Lots paid for within seven days of the Auction closing are sold with a three (3) day return privilege. You may return lots under the following conditions: Within three days of receipt of the lot, you must first notify Auctioneer by contacting Client Service by phone (314-680-8599) or e-mail (moundcityauctions@gmail.com), and immediately mail the lot(s) fully insured to the attention of Returns, Mound City Auctions 1081 Teson Rd. Hazelwood, MO. 63042. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder and in their original condition. You are responsible for the insured, safe delivery of any lots. Auctioneer will not be responsible for lots returned in non-registered mail or lots returned without prior authorization per section B. A non-negotiable return fee of 5% of the purchase price ($10 per lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each returned lot or billed directly. Postage and handling fees are not refunded. After the three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases revokes all Return-Restock privileges. C: Bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges. D: Comic books sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “as is” without any express or implied warranty. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the Bidder is referred to them for further details: Certified Guaranty Company, LLC. (CGC), P.O. Box 4738, Sarasota, FL 34230. E: Bidders who intend to challenge authenticity or provenance of a lot must notify Auctioneer in writing within thirty (30) days of the Auctions conclusion. In the event Auctioneer cannot deliver the lot or subsequently it is established that the lot lacks title, provenance, authenticity, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, Auctioneer's liability shall be limited to rescission of sale and refund of purchase price; in no case shall Auctioneer's maximum liability exceed the high bid on that lot, which bid shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the lot. After one year has elapsed, Auctioneer's maximum liability shall be limited to any commissions and fees Auctioneer earned on that lot. F: All comics are guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer or any third party grading service may not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same item with the same grade at two different times. G: Since we cannot examine encapsulated comics, they are sold “as is”without our grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason. Auctioneer shall not be liable for any patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated collectible. In any such instance, purchaser's remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the collectible. H: Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, Auctioneer reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. Auctioneer also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be reconsigned to any future auction. I: Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned. J: Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time."
