Full Terms and Conditions - CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. All items are sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with all faults. There are no warranties or representations of merchantability, of fitness, nor of any other kind, express or implied. All items are available for your examination prior to bidding. Written and oral descriptions are our opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to authenticity, age, condition, materials or any other feature of items being sold. MW Auctions attempts to catalog every lot correctly and will attempt to point out any defects but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. We recommend prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest or contact us prior to bidding for a condition report or to express concerns with the description. By placing a bid, either in person, by phone, absentee or via the Internet, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire to or that you have chosen not to examine them. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, we recommend you have an expert examine the lot for you or do not bid on the item in question. If your item(s) are damaged in shipping, you will need to contact the shipper to file a claim. If your item(s) are being shipped and there is a condition problem upon receipt, you are expected to notify us immediately by phone at 612-208-2887. Refunds or adjustments will be handled on an individual basis.
2. The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by the auction. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on MW Auctions' part as to the validity of any bid, the auction house will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, MW Auctions' sale record is conclusive.
3. The purchaser assumes full responsibility for items at the fall of the internet hammer.
4. There will be a 15% buyer's premium for all bidders added to the hammer price of each lot and it will be considered part of the total purchase price.

6. PAYMENT/PICKUP - All winning internet bidders will be notified after the auction ends via email. This email will contain the information for the pick-up schedule which is also noted in Auction details prior to bidding. All items must be picked up in this time frame.

If the winning bidder does not pick-up items within this time frame, they must contact the auction house regarding these items. If after Saturday at 1:00 PM following the auction, items have not been picked up, the credit card account used by the buyer to register will be charged.

Items that are not picked up within 7 business days of the auction will be considered property of MW Auctions and may be resold in auction. If the buyer bids on items and does not pick them up, this buyer will be banned from bidding again on future auctions.
