<div style="color:red; font-weight:bold">BUYER BEWARE
ALL ITEM(S) SOLD "AS IS", "WHERE IS", and WITH "ALL FAULTS". ALL SALES FINAL! NO REFUNDS!</div>
<div style="text-decoration:underline">PREVIEWS</div>All merchandise is publicly displayed prior to auction. BUYER BEWARE, purchases will be at the buyer’s own risk. Each item is sold “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, and “WITH ALL FAULTS”. We recommend that each item be examined thoroughly. Internet purchasers are urged to have items inspected by an independent appraiser or a third party consultant (Please refer to our referral section). Neither Motley’s nor the consignor makes any warranty or representation with respect to the correctness of the catalog. Prospective bidders are urged to inspect property before bidding to determine condition and whether or not items have been repaired, restored, or damaged. Most of the items described in the catalog have come from estates and have, therefore, been subjected to extensive use. ALL SALES FINAL. No items may be returned for credit; however, items may be resold for the new purchaser at the next available auction.
<div style="text-decoration:underline">REGISTRATION</div>All bidders must register with the office to sign a bidder's contract and obtain a bidder's card. Bidders are bound by Motley's Auctions, Inc. Terms & Conditions of Sale. These terms are listed in the sale catalog and posted in our office and gallery areas for your benefit.
<div style="text-decoration:underline">WARRANTY</div>Each item is sold AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS, in its condition at the time of sale, without any warranties or guarantees, either expressed or implied. Motley’s shall not be held responsible for incorrect descriptions. The data contained herein regarding the property is for descriptive information only and is to be used as a guide, solely for the purpose of identifying the goods to be auctioned. All announcements made from the auction podium will take precedence over any previously printed material or any other oral statements made.
<div style="text-decoration:underline">CONDITION</div>Conditions are noted in the catalog. Any item listed without a condition notation does not imply that the item is free of any existing condition problems. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to examine all property prior to purchase.
<div style="text-decoration:underline">CATALOGS</div>Catalogs are published prior to each Estate Antique Auction. Motley's catalog/internet listing provides descriptions for each consecutive lot to be sold in the sale. The catalog/internet listing is to be used as a guide of what is being sold. It is our intention to catalogue each lot accurately and fairly; however, Motley's cannot guarantee accuracy or authenticity. The catalog is intended to be used as a guide for your convenience.
<div style="text-decoration:underline">BIDDING</div>Property will be knocked out to the highest bid. Please bid as early as possible. In the event of duplicate bids, the earliest bid will take precedence. Should a dispute arise between two or more bidders, the item will be immediately put back up for resale. Should the Auctioneer and a bid assistant (bid spotter) simultaneously recognize two conflicting bidders, even though the Auctioneer announces the item as sold, it will be necessary to re-open the bidding to settle the dispute between these two bidders only. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid not commensurate with the value of the item being sold. The Auctioneer may reject any raise in the bidding which is less than the amount being called for. If any dispute arises after the sale, Motley's sale records shall be conclusive in all respects. Consignors may not bid on their own property. Pooling or collusive bidding will not be tolerated.

You may request such a bid by writing or telephoning our office 24 hours prior to the sale. Phone bids shall be executed only on lots with a guaranteed minimum opening bid of $200.00. We recommend that a minimum bid be supplied in the event of your unavailability. Collect calls will be made to the number you have supplied in time to bid on a specific lot.<p>A cash deposit, in person or via wire transfer is required for any purchaser who does not have an established account with Motley's Auctions.

Last minute new account bids cannot be accepted without a cash deposit!<p>Absentee and Telephone bids are executed as a courtesy to our customers.

All bids must be supplied to us in writing. A facsimile is acceptable as well as wire transfer of funds.

Items remaining after three working days will be subject to our standard storage fee of $5.00 per lot/per day. Items left over 30 days will be deemed abandoned. Abandoned purchases will be sold without notification to offset storage fees and handling.
