Terms and Conditions:
REGISTRATION & IDENTIFICATION: At the time of registration, we collect information about you to verify who you are before you can bid. We collect credit card information to ensure that you are a qualified buyer. All bidders must be of legal age to bid.
PAYING FOR YOUR PURCHASES: There is no cost to register for an auction. Your credit card will not be charged for your winning lot. Our payment process is through PayPal and you will receive detailed payment information via email in a final invoice to include the Buyer’s Premium, Shipping/Handling Charges and Cincinnati, Ohio Sales Tax.
BUYERS PREMIUM: A 12% buyer's premium is in effect for this auction regardless of method of payment.
REVIEWING YOUR BIDS: During an auction you can check the status of your bids at any time. Note that no bids can be withdrawn after the auction for any reason. You can choose to be notified by e-mail during the auction if you have been outbid. Please note that outbid notifications are NOT sent out during the last two hours of the sale.
WINNING NOTIFICATION & INVOICING: All winning bidders will receive an e-mail with an attached invoice from TheJonesCollection1@gmail.com within 3 days of the auction close. If you do not receive an email with your invoice from us, please check your Spam email folder. If you'd like to know whether you won a lot at the close of the auction, check your "bidder history" -- if it says "you will be notified" that means you are the high bidder on the lot. If you are not the high bidder, it will say "you have been outbid."
SHIPPING: There is a $5 Shipping/Handling Charge on all boxes shipped per bidder. We will combine shipping when possible. We pack and ship using either the USPS or UPS depending upon pricing and convenience at the time of shipping. You will pay all shipping costs to include any applicable insurance. Keep in mind that the size, weight, shape and degree of fragility determine the shipping weight and cost. All items will be packed to the best of ability.
ITEM PICK-UP: If you would like to pick-up your lot (item) in Cincinnati, Ohio, please email us at thejonescollection1@gmail.com to make arrangements.
CONDITIONS OF ITEMS SOLD & OUR ONLINE CATALOGUE: Our best efforts are made to represent all items accurately in descriptions and photographs, all descriptions are believed accurate but not warrantied; however, all items are ultimately sold on an 'as is, where is' basis, with all faults. Any references to items being sold with regards to signatures/autographs, description genuineness, authorship, age, rarity, provenance, condition, significance, source, origin, etc. are statements of opinion only. The bidder accepts full responsibility for determining the value and/or authenticity of the merchandise being sold. We strongly encourage all bidders to email us with any detailed questions or request for additional photos.
ADDITIONS & DELETIONS: We reserve the right to remove and/or add lots and/or items to the sale at any point during the auction.
RESERVE: Seldom are items sold with Reserve. If an item is being sold with a reserve, it will be clearly marked and identified. For items sold with a 'reserve', you will be required to pay a minimum amount in order to win the item.
AUCTION RECORDS: In the unlikely event of a dispute, you agree to accept as true the information that we have in our records.
SOFT CLOSE: Items close at regular intervals. To prevent a bidder from 'sniping', all bids made in the last 5 minutes of the auction will force an item to stay open for an additional 2 minutes. This will continue until all bidding has ceased.
BIDDING STRATEGY: We recommend that all bidders enter their maximum bid when placing a bid online. This does not mean you will have to pay the amount you bid; you only pay one bid more than the next highest bid, and only up to your maximum bid. The software system will play out the bids as you would at a live auction and only uses the funds required to beat out the under-bidder at the prescribed bid increment. See the Bid Increment Schedule posted for this auction.
EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS: By registering for this auction, you are opting in to receive auction notices from LB Vintage Dog Collectables pertaining to current and future auctions. You may withdraw your consent at any time with notification. Your privacy is important to us -- your email address will not be shared with any other party.
ALL ITEMS SOLD "AS IT, WHERE IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS.
