TERMS & CONDITIONS Condition of Property Sold: Items sold are in various states of condition ranging from new-in-box (NIB) to used, others are antiques and are over 100 years old. All information listed, including the title, description, condition and the photographs should be considered as informational in nature. The Buyer is solely responsible for inspections prior to bidding. There is a live In-Person Auction Preview offered to all Buyers. While multiple photos may be given for the auctioned items, the photos should not be considered a replacement for attending the In-Person Auction Preview before bidding. All items sell in "as-is, where-is" condition. Buyers agree that by entering a bid during the auction they have inspected the property, are satisfied with the condition of the property, and are entering into a contract to purchase the property. While all bids are considered binding, the Owner and/or Auction Firm has the right to accept or reject all bids, including the high bid. All sales are final; there are no returns, refunds or exchanges. All accepted high bids will have a 15.55% Buyers Premium added the high bid to help offset the cost of doing online auctions. There are no additional charges for payments via credit card. As of January 1, 2021 the State of Illinois started requiring the collection of sales tax at auctions even when you purchase used paper plates. As such, we will be collecting sales tax at the local rate of 7.50% for this auction. Payment: All invoices will automatically be charged to the card on file unless previous arrangements are made. If no specific arrangements are made with the Auction Firm before bidding, the Buyer agrees that Items not picked up during the In-Person Pick Up or arranged to be shipped are considered abandoned and become property of the Auction Firm. The Buyer understands abandoning an item does not negate the Buyer from paying for the item. Shipping: The Auction Firm will provide shipping for many items. Shipping will normally occur 3-7 days following the Auction Close. Shipping will be via a major provider such as the U.S. Post Office, FedEx, or UPS. Shipping & Handling (S&H) Charges: S&H charges are separate from the Purchase Invoice and do not negate the Buyer from the obligation to pay the Purchase Invoice in full. S&H Charges include handling, materials, insurance and shipping costs. The Buyer will be sent a separate S&H Invoice to be paid prior to Shipping. (Note we will try to ship via the most economical method possible)
