General Information
1. For the January 9, 2010 internet/absentee-only auction, a reduced buyer’s premium of 15% of the hammer bid price will be added to the purchase price to make the total purchase price. Normally, all purchases are subject to state and local sales tax however no taxes will be charged for this internet/absentee-only auction.
2. All items are sold as-is to the highest bidder, and neither we, nor the consignor make any warranties or representations with respect to these items, and neither will be responsible for the correctness of description, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, age, source, origin, authenticity, or condition of any item sold. All statements, written and oral, are QUALIFIED STATEMENTS OF OPINION ONLY. Illustrations on our website, and other materials and information, are provided for identification only. Prospective buyers are, in all cases, responsible for determining the physical condition of lots. By placing a bid, either by phone, absentee or via the Internet, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire to or that you have chosen not to examine them. Merchandise returns will not be accepted for any reason.
3. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. If any dispute arises between bidders, the item in dispute shall, at the auctioneer's discretion, either be re-offered for sale or sold as stated. In any event, the auctioneer's decision will be final. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in all respects. Title will pass to the highest bidder when the online bidding closes and thereafter the property is at the purchaser's sole risk and responsibility.
4. Very few items in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. This is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Allard Auctions, Inc. below which the item will not be sold. The reserve will be executed by bidding from the auctioneer or his assistant at the appropriate time during the auction.
5. We will be using two online bidding companies, icollector.com & liveauctioneers.com, who will execute bids live (in real time) for qualified pre-registered bidders. They will also administer bids for those who have left absentee bids through their websites previous to the start of the auction. In the event of tied online absentee bids, the earliest registered bid will be determined and will take precedence. Note: When bidding or viewing the auction live online, only those bids being submitted by the same online bidding company you are using at the time will be shown using the identification of the bidder. All other bids, either from the other online bidding company, or those placed by absentee or live phone bidders, will show on your screen as a being held by a “floor bidder” or as a “floor bid”.
6. Written absentee bids will also be accepted through the Allard Auctions office via fax, phone, or US Mail. In the event of multiple absentee bids on the same item, bidding must, and will, start at a figure no higher than the highest absentee bid, and no lower than the second highest absentee bid. Also, if more than one absentee bid on any single item is tied, the earliest one received will be the one acknowledged and used.
7. Live phone bids will be administered by an Allard Auctions associate at the appropriate time during the auction.
8. Allard Auctions, Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any property before or during the sale, and has no liability whatsoever for the withdrawal of property. The local Federal Fish and Wildlife Dept. has been notified, and any items found to be illegal to sell because of feathers, attachments, or any other reason, are therefore pulled from the auction and not offered for sale.
9. By submitting any bid, whether online, in writing, or any other means, the buyer acknowledges and accepts these terms and conditions.
