a) Before bidding you must read and accept the Terms and Conditions of Bidding. Read these terms carefully. When you click the "Register to Bid" button, you enter into a binding legal agreement with Auction Depot.
b) Registering to bid is free. You must provide a credit card during registration. This card will be charged for any items you are high bidder on. Amount charged will include high bid price, Buyer’s Premium and any applicable sales tax. If your card is not able to be charged you will be placed on a ban until you are able to pay.
Bidding:
a) All bids submitted are final and irrevocable, whether they are submitted in person, online or by proxy. If you are the highest bidder you are the new owner of that item. All sales are final.
b) Most items are sold without reserves, minimums or limits. Auction Depot expressly forbids owners and their agents from bidding on any item they have consigned to an auction. Any items with a reserve will be declared so the bidder is fully aware that the item has a reserve price that must be met for the item to sell.
c) Auction Depot reserves the right to refuse bids from any individual. Successful bidders are required to pay a Buyer’s Premium on each item purchased. The Buyer’s Premium is 16% on this auction. (4% discount for cash) Cash customers need to pay for purchases or contact us with 24 hours of close of auction.
Condition of Items:
a) All items are sold “as is, where is.” We make no representations or warranties with respect to the items in our auctions. We recommend that you visit our gallery or the auction site to inspect any items you’d like to buy before bidding. You may also send someone to the site to conduct the inspection on your behalf. Some items are sold with a 3-day guarantee (from when the auction closes.). These items must be returned within that time period to qualify for a refund, or the sale becomes final. The guarantee only covers the electronic portion of the item, it does not cover any cosmetic or other flaws the item may or may not have.
b) No deduction will be allowed on damaged articles as all goods being exposed for public exhibition are sold “as is” and without recourse.
c.1) Descriptions are provided to help identify an item and create interest. Descriptions are not complete or exhaustive. It is up to the buyer to determine the condition of the item BEFORE they submit a bid.
c.2) GEMSTONES: Auction Depot LLC does not warranty the authenticity of gemstones and certain gemology grading companies. It is solely up to the buyer to do thier own research on gemstones and the grading company to determine if a gemstone is authentic and before placing a bid. Auction Depot LLC will do its best to answer any questions or add any extra picture that might be requested if request is sent in a timely manner. Keep in mind that our office hours are Tuesday through Saturday 9am - 5pm (PST)
d) APPRAISALS & OPINIONS OF VALUE: All values including appraisal prices and auction estimates are to be used as guidance and are not guaranteed by the auction company or the third-party appraisal company. No appraisal or auction estimate should be used as a suggestion of resell value. Opinions of value and quality of stones can vary greatly among "experts" based on current market conditions, availability in the market place, geographical location, gemological equipment types, method of grading and the evaluator's training. Such variances do not constitute any error on either evaluator. Auction Depot LLC does not warranty any opinion of 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 manufactured and evaluated by the appraiser. Appraisals should be used for verification of gemstone and/or metal weight, size and grade only, not actual value. Items should not be purchased with the expectation to resell for appraisal price or for profit.
Responsibility and Ownership:
a) 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.
b) Buyer should come prepared to pack and load their items. We may be able to assist, but cannot guarantee staff will be available to assist everyone.
