1. Condition of Merchandise - In publishing these auction descriptions, Showtime Auction Services has endeavored to accurately describe all of the items being auctioned. However, all property is sold "As Is - Where Is" with no guarantee as to the age, condition, size, quality, rarity, variety, importance, historical relevance or value of the items being sold. This is not an “Approval Auction”. It is well known that coin-operated machines are pron to become jammed or jarred out of commission and may need some fine tuning to get to working once again. We do not guarantee that the machine will work properly once it has been delivered to your home or place of business. All sales are final.
2. Bidding Disputes - The Auctioneer will make absolute and final judgment as to who is the successful bidder of each and every item in the auction whether it be a live bidder, a phone bidder an absentee bidder or an Internet bidder. Any and all tie bids automatically go to the floor bidder with no exceptions. Phone, Absentee and Internet bidding is not a perfect science and there may be unforeseen human or technical errors occur. Showtime Auction Services will not be responsible for any errors that occur with Offsite Bidding. All bids are irrevocable and shall be in accordance with the conditions of the sale and be governed and interpreted by the laws of the state of Michigan. By bidding at the auction, whether present, in person, or by written bid, telephone bid or internet bid or any other means, the buyer shall be deemed to the jurisdiction of the courts of the state of Michigan.
3. Notice – Showtime Auction Services average selling lots at a rate of about 90 per hour. Sometimes, Internet bidding may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid missing the items you want to purchase. Occasionally, the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an Internet bid and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of Internet bidding. Your bid may be rejected even if it shows you as the winning bidder after the bidding is complete. By bidding via Internet, you agree that Showtime Auctions may award the lot to another bidder as its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since Internet bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like the floor bids. In most cases, the floor responds before the Internet bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie Internet bids. Also, please note that all Showtime Auctions lots purchased through the Internet carry a 15% buyers premium. Please make sure you read all of the Terms and Conditions before you bid. These Lots are being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Showtime Auction Services. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Showtime Auction Services and all other information should be considered preliminary.
4. Winning Notification and Billing – After the Final session of this auction, Showtime Auction Services will send an email with an invoice to the winning bidders. This process normally takes 2 days. All final auction results and invoice information will be supplied by Showtime Auction Services or iCollector.
5. Second Chance Offers – Showtime Auction Services do not offer Second Chance Offers so should you receive one you can be sure it is a spoof email. Please forward any Second Chance Offer emails to mikeckles@aol.ocm.
6. Timing – Please note that the Internets clock is not an accurate reflection of the hour at which the lots will be offered. Absentee bids left on the Internet are not the same as bids left with the auction house directly. They are executed from a proxy computer terminal in the room against other Internet Bidders. Other competitive bids include bidders on the telephone, bids from a live audience and absentee bids left with the auctioneer. Remember that Internet does not provide the ability for auction houses to incorporate left bids with those left directly with the auction house.
7. Title - Title to all items shall be passed to the successful bidder once the Auctioneer says "SOLD". The winning bidder shall assume Full Responsibility for the lot purchased once the title has passed with no exceptions.
8. Payment - All accounts are to be settled within 5 days of receipt of your invoice either by PayPal, Money Order, Cashiers Check, American Express, Visa, MasterCard or Discover. If we do not hear from you within 5 days, we will charge the credit card number you used when you registered for this auction.
9. Buyers Premium - A 15% buyers premium will be added to the winning bid amount for all internet bids. If you attend the auction in person you pay only a 10% buyers premium should you pay by check or cash.
10. Tax – There will be a 6% tax added to all purchases by Michigan Residents. All other winning bidders will pay a 6% sales tax unless they provide a valid resale number or if the winning bidder has the item(s) shipped and do not take position of them at the auction.
11. Shipping – All items going to Internet bidders will be handled by the UPS Store, Lansing, Michigan, (517) 664-1855. Warning: The enormous amount of items being sold will cause some delays in shipping so be aware that you may not receive your items for up to 3 weeks after the auction. We will do our best to get your items to you sooner. However, it is not promised and your patience will be required and appreciated at all times. Also, UPS does an excellent job of packing in an effort to keep things from getting broken. If the winning bidder wishes to pick up their item(s) at the UPS location instead of having them shipped, there will be a charge for packing and transportation from the auction site to the UPS facility. You will not be able to buy something on the Internet and come to the auction site to pick it up. It is placed in a truck and transported to the shipping facility as soon as it is sold.
