All material is genuine, unless indicated otherwise.<Br><Br>
Successful bidders do not necessarily pay their high bid. Successful bidders are awarded lots at either 10% over the highest mail-telephone bid - or - at one increment over the second-highest eBay bid, whichever venue applies. <Br><Br>
In the event of tie bids, the bid received first will prevail.<Br><Br>
Buyer’s premium is 20%.<Br><Br>
Prices indicated denote an estimated range of values. Bidding opens at half low estimate. For a small number of lots, a reserve price is clearly shown, which may be different.<Br><Br>
Payment is expected on receipt of invoice. Check or money order accepted. Credit card (Discover, MasterCard, and Visa) is accepted for invoices up to $5,000. Payment may also be made by direct wire, in which case please contact us for bank information. <Br><Br>
Successful bidders are expected to make prompt payment in full before lots are shipped. Title not transferred until payment accomplished.<Br><Br>
Special terms may be arranged for institutions.<Br><Br>
Expertization may not delay payment.<Br><Br>
A charge of $30.00 shall be imposed for any check returned from the bank for any reason, and $32.00 for credit card chargeback.<Br><Br>
Bidders who have not purchased from us in the recent past should include a 25% deposit, to be applied to successful bids. If bidding is not successful, deposit is returned promptly after closing date, or credit card not charged.<Br><Br>
We reserve the right to decline unrealistic bids, or bids believed not made in good faith or from one whose credit status is unclear.<Br><Br>
We reserve the right to withdraw lots.<Br><Br>
Auction lots are described carefully and conscientiously; however, they must understandably and necessarily be “as is” due to the multitude of factors associated with their character. Consignors have guaranteed correct provenance.<Br><Br>
As an auction is not an approval sale, lots are not returnable except for reason of authenticity.
Should a question arise as to authenticity, we must be notified by registered or certified mail within 5 days of delivery. We are not responsible for any claim whatsoever received after such date. Refund will be made, upon return of the item to us within 7 days of notification, in the same condition as shipped. We shall be the sole determiner of the sameness of the state of an item at time of shipment and its return, respectively. For protection of consignors’ property, lots are not returnable for any other reason. No lot consisting of 5 or more items is returnable.<Br><Br>
Refund in such case is by same payment method as originally made by bidder. In event of payment by credit card, prevailing merchant bank fees originally incurred shall be deducted from refund to credit card account. We are not responsible for variation in statement closing dates. Should bidder dispute original charge, notwithstanding forthcoming refund, it is understood that bidder shall repay chargeback and other costs.
Because we act as agents for numerous consignors, claims must be made before we have settled with them. Consideration cannot be given in event of late payment, consignee’s absence at time of delivery, or for other reason.<Br><Br>
Bids are accepted by mail, phone, fax, and e-mail, in addition to iCollector.com/eBay Live. We are not responsible for fax, e-mail, or data transmissions not completed, or phone bids not confirmed in writing. Bidders are responsible for bidding on the correct lots.
Photocopies may be obtained at $1.00 each. Color pictures of lots already scanned available by e-mail.
For those with a spending ceiling in mind, we can institute a maximum-spending limit. For those who are particularly desirous of being successful in their bidding, we can increase bids on one or more lots by a selected percentage, not to exceed 100%.<Br><Br>
Shipping costs, insurance and handling costs are borne by the purchaser, with minimum charge of $5.00 per order. A packing charge for framed lots will be added at $20.00 per lot.
New York sales tax will be added for New York State addresses, except for those with valid tax numbers on file.<Br><Br>
Should full and due payment not be forthcoming promptly on any lot, then we reserve the right to sell lot to another buyer. Any loss that occurs as a result of such sale, plus interest and costs, shall be for the account of the delinquent buyer. Withdrawal of bids may forfeit deposit.<Br><Br>
Auction results will be available by phone approximately one week after closing date.
For iCollector.com/eBay Live bidders, please see additional terms and information following.
The placing of a bid shall constitute acceptance of all terms of sale.<Br><Br>
FOR BIDDERS USING
iCOLLECTOR.COM/eBAY LIVE<Br><Br>
All bids must be placed by 8:00 P.M. Eastern time sharp on Wed., Jan.
3, 2007. No bids are accepted after this time.<Br><Br>
For bidders using iCollector.com/eBay Live, please note the following additional provisions in addition to our usual Sale Provisions shown<Br><Br>
above:
ABOUT THIS AUCTION <Br><Br>
The underlying auction in which you are bidding is Cohasco, Inc.’s traditional mail-telephone auction.
Cohasco, Inc. has been in business for 60 years, originally in lower Manhattan, and presently in Yonkers, located on the New York City line.<Br><Br>
We believe we are today the second oldest full-time autograph and manuscript dealer in North America.
You will be doing business with an old-fashioned firm. This is not a part-time hobby, nor are we newcomers. Over the years, we have handled major rarities and important collections, as well as more pedestrian material, and have sold to many of the preeminent government repositories, university libraries, and archives, as well as collectors and dealers around the world. We do not generally handle modern autographic material, as this can be prone to question.<Br><Br>
Members of the firm enjoy life membership in the New-York Historical Society and U.A.C.C., and membership in the Manuscript Society for about forty years. Members of the firm are past or present members of the Rotary Club of New York. Our founder is a Knight-Commander of Malta, among other honors.
We have been issuing printed catalogues for decades, and continue to do so; this is our first auction to be shown on iCollector.com/eBay Live.<Br><Br>
(The printed catalogue which underlies this auction is 112 pages, and may be obtained by Priority Mail for 10.00 domestic, 15.00
international.)<Br><Br>
ABOUT ILLUSTRATIONS OF LOTS
Of the more than six hundred lots in this auction - containing thousands of pieces, we have photographed about 75 interesting items.<Br><Br>
Many items do not lend themselves to photography. Others are large lots.
And others still are formats which are familiar to collectors.<Br><Br>
Should you desire an illustration of an item which is not shown, please supply your e-mail, as well as fax and postal address. Depending upon the time remaining before closing date, we will endeavor to supply an illustration by one of those means.<Br><Br>
Please note that in some cases, it will not be possible to supply an illustration. This would include large lots of common material, oversize items, items which are especially delicate, items whose colors or inks will not copy successfully, items of a character which is ubiquitously known, and others. The failure of a bidder to request an illustration, or our inability to supply one, shall not be the basis for cancellation of a bid or return of a lot.<Br><Br>
In the last two days before closing date it is extraordinarily busy, and it may not be possible to supply illustrations or to provide responses to questions which involve detailed research or examination of the item. We encourage you to ask questions about the material that interest you well in advance of the closing date.<Br><Br>
ABOUT AUTHENTICITY OF OUR MATERIAL<Br><Br>
With respect to authenticity, we stand behind our warranty in our Terms and Conditions above, as well as our sixty years in business. If you are a successful bidder and wish a certificate of authenticity, we will be pleased to provide our own. Any occasional item which may be a secretarial signature, facsimile, or other exception is specifically noted in our descriptions.<Br><Br>
ABOUT BIDDING<Br><Br>
This auction contains the property of almost fifty consignors.<Br><Br>
If you
have specific questions, please feel free to ask before the close of the auction. It is not an approval sale.
For first-time bidders, we request a Discover/MasterCard/Visa number.<Br><Br>
No charges are made, and no hold is placed, on the card prior to the end of the auction. If you are successful, at the end of the auction we will place 25% of the invoice amount on the card. You will then have the choice of placing the rest of the amount on the card, or paying by another means. If you are unsuccessful, nothing will have been charged to your card at any time.<Br><Br>
We destroy card information following the sale. We do not sell or share customer information of any kind with others. The only information held by others is what you provided to iCollector/eBay Live when you registered to bid. <Br><Br>
All bids must be placed by 8:00 P.M. Eastern time sharp on Wed., Jan.
3, 2007. No bids are accepted after this time.<Br><Br>
The underlying auction is a traditional mail-telephone auction.
Some of
our regular bidders employ contingency bids, have spending limits, and other stipulations.
All bids must be entered, then carefully double-checked for accuracy.<Br><Br>
On Sat., Jan. 6, these bids will then be matched against bids which were left on iCollector/eBay Live, and iCollector/eBay Live winners will be notified, both by e-mail and subsequently by postal mail. No bids will be accepted after Wed., Jan. 3, 8:00 P.M. E.S.T.<Br><Br>
In this manner, all bidders - whether by mail, phone, fax, e-mail, or iCollector/eBay Live - will be bidding on an equal footing.<Br><Br>
WHEN WILL I FIND OUT THE RESULTS?<Br><Br>
Results will be available from our office, by request, beginning Monday, Jan. 8. You are welcome to call or e-mail; please be sure to state the lots for which you wish information, and the full name under which you bid. It is not always possible to match a username only with lot numbers won. Time will not necessarily permit posting of complete prices realized on our website.<Br><Br>
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE AUCTION IS OVER?<Br><Br>
Invoices are sent by postal mail to successful bidders. <Br><Br>
Shipments are made in the order in which payments are received.<Br><Br>
Please
allow time for clearance of checks. Discover, MasterCard, and Visa are accepted for invoices up to $5,000.00.
If you require your postal invoice and/or shipment of your winnings by a certain date, please advise when entering your bids. If we will be unable to comply with your requirements, we will advise before closing date, so that you will have the opportunity to reconsider or to modify these dates. We make every effort to comply with customers’ wishes, however the extreme activity of shipping hundreds of items - each one different - in a compressed period of time does not enable us to meet all expectations.
We take pride in informing our buyers that each shipment is packed with care; this is particularly important if your lots are fragile, of an unusual shape, or difficult to handle. It may take an expert packer two or more hours to pack one such lot.
We ask our customers to keep the above in mind. <Br><Br>
A NOTE<Br><Br>
Bids are solicited through iCollector/eBay Live on a good-faith, best-efforts basis. However, we shall be held harmless for data loss, computer, network, and provider problems, and other events beyond our control.
As with our regular sale provisions, placement of a bid using iCollector/eBay Life signifies acceptance of all terms. <Br><Br>
IF YOU HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS ...<Br><Br>
If you have any questions not addressed by the text on this website, please do not hesitate to e-mail or call (1-914-476-8500). Unlike some firms on the Internet, we have real people: we do not outsource support to distant lands, and we do not have VoiceMail during normal business hours of 10 A.M.-6 P.M. Eastern time.
