A fee for this service will be noted in the catalog. Not all items are acceptable for delivery. Bidders should check PRIOR TO BIDDING regarding said service and items they may have need for delivery if they happen to win at auction. SHIPPING: Third party packing and shipping. Remember, shipping costs, packing materials and labor will be charged by The UPS Store. Distance, weight and packing requirements all factor into third party shipping costs. Auctioneer is solely an agent of the seller to market and offer items for bids at public auction. Auction company is not a professional packing and shipping service. Auctioneer can facilitate the delivery of items to The UPS Store, Keystone Ave, Reno, NV 89503 for the buyer with a limited capacity of 10 items per person with a maximum combined weight of 25 pounds and dimensions not to exceed 24" x 32" x 12".

Items exceeding these weights and measures WILL NOT be transported by the auction company, and buyer will have to make his own arrangements for bailey service for shipping. Buyer is solely responsible to The UPS Store for packing, shipping and handling fees, any storage fees prior to shipment, and any liens caused due to buyer's failure to have items shipped. Items will not be transported by auction company if payment has not been received. UNSOLD ITEMS: Items not receiving a bid in the auction will be sold at the auctioneer's discretion, including but not limited to: individual item sales on site, relisting of items in the same or different lots in another auction, or by returning the items to the seller. Payment for such purchases on site will be by cash. Unsold items can be combined/picked from accumulations. Purchase prices will be negotiated and won't necessarily be the opening bid price.

The item can be put on your invoice at the agreed price with the Buyer's Premium and sales tax added. A new invoice will be emailed and printed indicating your new payment due at pick up. Appraisals and Opinions of Value: All values, including appraisal values and auction estimates, are to be used as guidance and are not a guarantee by Karin A. Costa that the item will achieve that value when offered at auction or otherwise. Items should not be purchased with the expectation to resell for appraisal value of for profit. Reasons for appraisals vary as to the date of value, definition of value and intended use of the value; therefore, appraisal reports accompanying an item do not necessarily represent a current value for sale at auction. The buyer should read the appraisal report to identify the situation, date and value definition used to conclude the value in the report. Jewelry: Opinions of the value and quality of gemstones can vary greatly among "experts" and gemologists, current market conditions, availability in the market place, geographical location, gemological equipment types, methods of grading and the evaluator's training. Such variances do not constitute any error on either the evaluator or Karin A. Costa. Karin A. Costa does not warrant any value. As is customary in the jewelry business, when items are manufactured and are so similar in makeup that there is no difference in weight or appearance, a certificate may be duplicated for each piece that is produced and evaluated by the appraiser. Jewelry appraisals should be used for verification of gemstone and/or metal weight, size and grade, and not for a value. Responsibility and Ownership: Every item becomes the responsibility of the new owner as soon as the online auction is concluded. If you are the highest bidder, you are responsible for insuring your purchase immediately. Title to items will pass from the seller to the buyer upon payment in full. The buyer will sign the Auctioneer's copy of the invoice as final acceptance of the goods. A resellers' permit must be submitted before the conclusion of the auction. Failure to do so will result in sales tax being charged. Out of state buyers with resale permits must submit one, too. Otherwise buyers will be subject to sales tax (WayFair Supreme Court Ruling). Firearms and firearm parts are handled by an FFL only, since UPS and FedEx do not accept shipments by private parties, which the seller and auctioneer are. Background checks and transfer fees will be determined by and paid to the FFL depending on the classification and destination of the firearm. Buyers requiring shipping must complete a Shipping Release Form that includes attachment of a government issued photo ID containing the corresponding name and address to that of the auction registration and invoice. If the information does not match, auctioneer reserves the right to hold the items for pick up by a carrier after payment in full in cash by the buyer. Pick UP: The pick up location is printed in the header of the invoice. It IS NOT at Karin A. Costa's office on Horseshoe Circle unless specifically stated in the invoice header. Once you have won an auction item, it is your responsibility to pick the item up on the given date during the allotted time frame. Winning bidders will be sent a link to schedule a pick up appointment through Sign Up Genius. If the bidder fails to sign up for an appointment or to pick up during the allotted pickup time frame, then the items will be considered abandoned/forfeited, and there will not be a refund issued.

Buyers sending a proxy or agent to pick up items will require a shipping release form prior to pick up. The shipping release form requires a government issued photo ID of the buyer, signature and authorization to release. The party which will be responsible for pick up must be named and a government issued photo ID will be required of them before packing or taking any purchases.
