Auction Terms & Conditions We want to be your favorite auction company, and we will work hard to do so. Customers who abide by the following Terms and Conditions may get to be some of our favorite customers as well! Conditions of Sale All sales are final and all property is sold "As is, Where is." It is the bidder's responsibility to determine authenticity, condition and usefulness of the items purchased. We attempt to describe all these items to try to give you a visual of the item you are bidding on. We describe them to the best of our ability and many times rely on information from the consignor that is given to us. If you have questions or are NOT SURE about condition or anything else pertaining to an item in our auction, please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and give us a call! We will answer your questions to the best of our ability. Call (972) 946-0411 to speak to the owner. Buyer's Premium Our buyer's premium is 15% for cash purchases and 18% for card purchases. No checks will be accepted. Bidding A bid by any person shall be conclusive proof that the person has made himself acquainted with these conditions of sale and has agree to be bound by them. In the event of non-payment during posted pickup days, we reserve the right to charge the outstanding invoice balance to the credit card you provided upon registration. Failure to honor your bid, chargebacks, buyer's remorse and general rudeness may result in loss of bidding privileges.

Bring back Items not picked up at the designated Garland Gallery pickup following your sale purchase will be donated or possibly resold.
