Most items are sold without reserves, minimums or limits. McMillan Bros. Auction expressly forbids owners and their agents from bidding on any item they have consigned to an auction.

No deduction will be allowed on damaged articles as all goods being exposed for public exhibition are sold "AS IS" and without recourse.
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.
APPRAISALS & OPINIONS OF VALUE: All values including appraisal prices and auction estimates are to be used as guidance and are not guaranted 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 the 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. McMillan Bros. Auction does not warranty any opnion 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. Items should not be purchased with the expectation to resell for appraisal price or for profit.
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.
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.
Purchases must be paid in full before items can be picked up.
Any items not paid for or picked up within 14 days of the concluded auction will be deemed abandoned and sold at a future auction or returned to the seller. Refunds will not be given on abandoned items.
