The validity and interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this agreement or of the rights and duties of the parties under this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and venue of all proceedings shall occur in Berks County, PA.
Bidding Qualifications/Live Bidding:
Buyers must register for a bidding number by giving name, address, phone number, and identification acceptable to us. Please show your bidder number to the auctioneer after each purchase you make.
The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall decide the buyer or immediately put the item up for sale again. In the event of a tie between an online bidder and the floor bidder, the successful bidder will be at the Auctioneer's discretion. The auctioneer's decision will be binding and final.
Some lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is a confidential minimum price below which such a lot will not be sold. The record of sale, kept by the auctioneer and clerk, will be taken as absolute and final in all disputes.
Live and Online Bidding:
Live and Online Auctions are conducted in front of a live audience. During these events each item presented in the auction is also available for bidding in an online venue hosted by a third-party provider. While the auctioneer is receiving bids from an assembled audience, phone and absentee bidders, the auctioneer is also taking bids from bidders who are bidding through the third-party providers in real time or by advance bidding. Following the auction, the successful bidders are notified, and payment arrangements are made; applicable buyer's premium applies.
At its discretion, Muller Auction Company may also accept bids from approved internet bidders. Muller Auction Company or any of its staff shall not be held responsible or liable for any human or technical bidding errors, or internet bidding system shutdowns that may occur. Muller Auction Company reserves the right to refuse service and bids.
Online Only Bidding
Muller Auction Company sometimes uses the services of a third-party auction platform for online bidding. Please refer to third party website for how to register and bid online. Buyer is responsible for all online bidding. Muller Auction Company cannot place bids for the buyer as the buyer must properly register and bid through the third-party platform.
At its discretion, Muller Auction Company may also accept bids from approved internet bidders. Muller Auction Company or any of its staff shall not be held responsible or liable for any human or technical bidding errors, or internet bidding system shutdowns that may occur.
Live Online Auctions (Online Only Auction with Multiple Bidding Platforms)
Auction is open for pre-bidding until the start of the auction at which time pre-bidding will cease and the auction will go live at the auction center (no live audience, just our auctioneer and auction staff). When the auction goes live, lots will be sold one at a time, in numerical order, by a live auctioneer who will be taking bids from multiple online bidding platforms, absentee and phone bids. During pre-bidding you can submit a max (maximum) bid. The bidding platform or our auction staff will bid on your behalf up to the maximum bid that you have entered. Once the auction goes live if you wish to increase your bid you will have to wait until that lot opens for bidding and enter any additional bids manually.
Absentee Bidding
For those unable to attend the auction, Muller Auction Company offers the absentee bid service as a convenience to our patrons. Muller Auction Company will not be held responsible for error or failure to execute the bid(s). Absentee bids must be in writing and a fifty dollar ($50) minimum bid is required per item.
Phone Bidding
Phone bids must be in writing. All phone bids are required to open at $250 or half of the published estimate (whichever is greater and no less than $250). We suggest that phone and absentee bids be made 24 hours in advance to allow time for processing.
Everyone leaving an absentee/phone bid must be willing to leave their credit card number to assure payment of a successful bid(s) is received by the end of the next day following an auction.
Illegible bid(s) will be disregarded.
Applicable sales tax will be added to the sales total unless a tax-exempt number is on file in our office by the day of the auction.
Applicable Buyer's Premium will be added to each purchase.
All successful bid(s) requested to be shipped to the buyer will be sent by an in-house or third-party shipper and billed by the shipper.
Buyer is responsible to make shipping arrangements.
Bids are executed in competition with the audience on an alternate basis. Due to uncertainties of bidding, a lot may sell to the audience for the same amount authorized by the absentee bid. To avoid this possibility, the absentee bidder may authorize Muller Auction Company to increase their bid by one increment by placing a (+) sign beside the bid price.
Merchandise is to be removed from the Auction location during the specific auction's stated pick-up dates and times.
Muller Auction Company offers the absentee/phone bid service as a convenience to our patrons who are unable to attend our live auctions.

SHIPPING INFORMATION:
Muller Auction Company offers in-house shipping, subject to limitations. Shipping, handling, and insurance fees are additional to the total purchase price. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS. Fees must be paid in advance. If you choose to ship your item, Muller Auction Company never automatically assumes that you want shipping. Please confirm or discuss your needs prior to completion of sale. Please all our online shipping utilizes USPS priority flat rate boxes as the primary option. This option starts at the minimum of $14.30 and could increase if insurance or signature requirments are added.
Third-Party Shipping
While we try to provide shipping for most items that our auctions offer, items that are large, heavy, or more fragile in nature will need to be shipped by a third party. It is at the discretion of the shipping department to determine which items can be shipped and which will require third-party shipping. Google search and contact a third-party shipper near Kutztown, PA. Once you arrange shipping, please contact us to authorize product release to your shipper.
Muller Auction Company is not responsible for any damage or loss that occurs via a third-party shipper.
Fine and Decorative Arts Shipping
Due to the oversized, heavy, or fragile nature of Fine Art and Collectors Auction items, most items must be shipped via a third-party shipper. In addition, Muller Auction Company does not have an export license so all international shipments valued at $2,500.00 or higher, including hammer price and buyer's premium, must be shipped by a third-party shipper. Please allow 2 weeks for shipping from receipt of payment. For all other inquiries please contact us.
Jewelry Shipping
Jewelry purchased with a credit card by first time customers of Muller Auction Company will not be express shipped and may take up to 7 - 14 business days to be released for shipping. This hold on shipping does not apply to payment made with cash, money order, wire transfer, payment through a third-party bidding platform and payment through PayPal provided that the shipping address is validated, and the PayPal transaction matches the shipping address we are provided.
International Shipping
Muller Auction Company does not provide international shipping. International shipments will need to be handled by a third-party shipper. Please contact us to discuss before bidding.
