Conditions of Sale |
1. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS
WIEDERSEIM
ASSOCIATES, INC. has endeavored to accurately
describe all items being sold, but all property is
being sold "AS
IS", "WHERE IS". No statement in this
catalogue, invoice, bill of sale, or elsewhere by
any representative or person in the employ of
WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC., shall be deemed a
warranty, representation, or assumption of liability
with respect to age, condition, size, quality,
variety, importance, provenance, material of
manufacture, metal content or assay, stone
identification, weight, or size measurement, or
historical relevance of any of the items offered for
sale. Any potential Bidders accept sole
responsibility for contacting us to obtain condition
reports on any offered lots and/or inspect said lots
before bidding to determine the condition and if
there are any repairs or restorations. CONDITION
REPORT REQUESTS: Any requests received after 12:00
Noon the day before the start of an Auction may not
be answered. Questions cannot and will not be
answered once the Auction has started.
The absence of a condition
statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect
condition or completely free from wear and tear,
imperfections, or the effects of aging. Wiederseim
Associates will endeavor to provide additional
information as a courtesy, but it is only an opinion
and should not be regarded as a statement of fact.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL!
Any items purchased and removed from the auction
cannot be returned.
2. BIDDING

follow bidding increments as precisely as possible,

guaranteed, expressly stating the funds are
payable to WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. on
the specific day of the Auction. In any
event, WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. reserves
the right to hold all or some of the

4. DISPUTES & TITLE TO GOODS
In the event of a dispute, the Auctioneer
will be the final judge as to which Bidder
is successful. The Auctioneer may at his
sole discretion, re-open the bidding on a
particular item. Title shall pass on all
items sold when the Auctioneer says "SOLD".
The Purchaser assumes total and full
responsibility for all goods at that time,
and is responsible for payment for all items
whether or not the Purchaser actually takes
possession at that time. If any dispute
arises after the conclusion of the Auction,
the records of the Auctioneer and Clerk
shall stand as conclusive. Any loss or
damage by breakage, natural disaster, theft
or any other cause is therefore the sole and
entire responsibility of the Purchaser.
5. BUYER'S PREMIUM & SALES TAX
Each individual Lot sold is subject to a 15%
Buyer's Premium which will be added to the
successful bid price of each Lot and is
payable by the Purchaser as part of the
total purchase price. A 6% State of
Pennsylvania sales tax will be added to the
total purchase price, unless purchased for
resale or exempt from tax by other
Pennsylvania law. All Bidders who qualify
for exemption must file a Sales Tax
exemption form with WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES,
INC.

abandoned items. If items are left for
