AUCTION TERMS & CONDITIONS
1. PARTICIPATION & AGREEMENT
By placing a bid, you agree to these auction terms, the applicable lot description, and LiveAuctioneers? platform and payment terms. Read the listing, review its photographs, and resolve questions before bidding.
Bidders must provide accurate registration, contact, billing, and delivery information and obtain any required bidding approval. You are responsible for bids placed through your account.
2. ONLINE BIDDING & LOT CLOSING
This is an online-only timed auction. The catalog is available for advance viewing and prebidding before lots begin closing on September 29, 2026, at 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
Lots do not necessarily close at the same time. Follow each lot?s displayed countdown and any extensions applied by the platform. The bidding increments, maximum-bid functions, and closing settings displayed on LiveAuctioneers govern bidding for this event.
A submitted bid is a commitment to purchase if you are the successful bidder. Review the lot number and bid amount before submitting. If you make an error, contact Bidding Is Open immediately; do not assume a bid can be withdrawn.
Allow time for registration, bidding approval, and submitting bids. An attempted bid that the platform does not receive and record is not a completed bid.
3. BUYER?S PREMIUM & TOTAL PURCHASE COST
An 18% buyer?s premium is added to the hammer price of each lot.
Example:
Hammer price: $100
Buyer?s premium: $18
Subtotal before tax, shipping, and applicable payment fees: $118
Your total may also include applicable sales tax, shipping and packing charges, and any payment processing fee disclosed through LiveAuctioneers checkout. The buyer?s premium does not include these additional amounts.
Consider the complete purchase and delivery cost when setting your bid.
4. PREVIEW & QUESTIONS
In-person preview is available by appointment only. Contact Bidding Is Open through LiveAuctioneers to request an appointment.
The online catalog is open for advance viewing and prebidding until the applicable lots close. Request additional photographs, dimensions, or condition information early enough for a response before bidding.
Additional information about the lots and the history of advertising designs and brands is available at biddingisopen.com/auctions. General historical information about a brand or design does not establish the manufacture date or provenance of an individual object. Refer to the specific lot listing for representations about that item.
5. LOT DESCRIPTIONS & CONDITION
Review each lot?s written description together with all available photographs and any published corrections or supplemental condition information.
Items are offered in their existing condition, subject to the express statements in their individual listings and any rights provided by applicable law. The absence of a condition note does not mean that an item is free of wear, damage, restoration, or replacement components.
Porcelain signs may exhibit enamel loss, chips, scratches, oxidation, edge wear, mounting-hole wear, bends, touch-ups, or repairs. These are examples of conditions to inspect, not statements that every lot has these characteristics.
Dimensions are approximate unless expressly stated otherwise. Photographic color and appearance may vary with lighting and screen settings. Ask for clarification when size, color, surface condition, or another feature is material to your bidding decision.
Accessories, stands, brackets, mounting hardware, and display fixtures are included only when identified as part of the lot.
6. AGE, ORIGINALITY & ATTRIBUTION
Representations about age, maker, material, originality, restoration, or reproduction status apply to the individual lot as described.
The age of a brand, logo, advertising campaign, or design does not by itself establish the age of the physical sign. Likewise, porcelain enamel construction does not by itself establish a sign?s manufacture date.
Refer to the individual listing for any stated provenance or supporting documentation. No certificate, historical record, or other documentation is included unless identified in that listing.
If a description and photograph appear inconsistent, request clarification before bidding. These terms do not cancel or override an express representation made in a lot listing.
7. NEON & ELECTRICAL ITEMS
Review each neon lot for its stated operating condition and any information about tubing, transformers, wiring, housings, restoration, or replacement parts.
A photograph of an illuminated sign or a statement that it operated during testing describes the observed condition at that time. It is not a guarantee of future service life.
Unless specifically stated, an operating demonstration is not an electrical inspection or certification. Have a qualified professional assess installation and electrical requirements before use. Confirm special packing and transportation needs before bidding.
8. PAYMENT THROUGH LIVEAUCTIONEERS
This event uses LiveAuctioneers Payments. Complete payment through your LiveAuctioneers invoice using a method available for your transaction.
Payment is due by the deadline shown on the invoice. Review any AutoPay notice promptly. Where enabled, automatic charges are governed by LiveAuctioneers? payment terms and the timing communicated for your invoice.
Any applicable processing fee is separate from the 18% buyer?s premium. Review the amount shown at checkout rather than assuming that all payment methods carry the same charge.
Keep your saved payment details current. If a payment fails, promptly resolve the issue through LiveAuctioneers. A failed automatic charge does not cancel a purchase.
Purchases remain unavailable for release until payment has cleared. Contact Bidding Is Open promptly about an invoice discrepancy and LiveAuctioneers support about payment-processing problems.
9. TAXES
Applicable sales tax will be reflected on the invoice according to the transaction and relevant tax requirements.
Buyers claiming an exemption should arrange for their documentation to be reviewed through the applicable LiveAuctioneers process before paying. An exemption is not effective merely because a buyer writes ?resale? in a message or provides a business name.
International buyers are responsible for applicable import duties, customs charges, brokerage fees, and destination taxes.
10. SHIPPING THROUGH LIVEAUCTIONEERS
Shipping is available through LiveAuctioneers Shipping. Review the service and quote available for each lot and your destination before bidding.
The buyer is responsible for shipping charges shown in the accepted shipping arrangement. Shipping is separate from the hammer price and buyer?s premium.
Large, heavy, or fragile items may require custom packing, crating, or freight. Confirm arrangements for oversized dealership signs, porcelain signs, and neon before placing bids. Combined shipping is subject to the provider?s assessment of size, weight, fragility, and service requirements.
Confirm your delivery address and fulfillment choice at checkout. Do not assume that a message to the auction house automatically changes a shipping order already placed through LiveAuctioneers.
Shipping and delivery estimates depend on payment clearance, packing requirements, scheduling, destination, and carrier service. Follow your order updates and contact LiveShipping for shipping-order assistance.
11. DELIVERY INSPECTION & SHIPPING CLAIMS
Inspect the packaging and purchases promptly upon delivery. Retain packing materials and labels, and photograph any damage to the item and packaging.
Report transit damage or missing contents immediately through LiveAuctioneers Shipping and notify Bidding Is Open. Submit the required claim within LiveAuctioneers? published 72-hour delivery deadline and comply with any shorter deadline applicable to a separate protection program.
Shipping coverage is subject to provider terms, exclusions, and claim requirements. Delivery redirection or use of a third-party holding location may affect coverage. Obtain confirmation before changing delivery arrangements.
Do not repair, alter, dispose of, or return a damaged item before receiving instructions from the party handling the claim.
12. LOCAL PICKUP & AUTHORIZED COLLECTION
Local pickup is by confirmed appointment only after payment has cleared.
Select the available pickup option during checkout and contact Bidding Is Open to schedule collection. Provide advance written authorization if another person will collect on your behalf.
Bring appropriate transportation and discuss packing or loading requirements when scheduling. Large signs and neon may require specialized handling.
If you cannot keep an appointment or complete collection as arranged, contact Bidding Is Open promptly to reschedule.
13. PURCHASE CONCERNS & RETURNS
Auction purchases are commitments to buy. A change of mind, a missed condition detail disclosed in the listing, or failure to investigate shipping costs does not automatically entitle a buyer to cancel.
If you believe a lot materially differs from its description, contact Bidding Is Open promptly through LiveAuctioneers. Include the invoice number, lot number, a description of the concern, and supporting photographs.
Preserve the item in the condition received while the concern is reviewed. Obtain return instructions before sending anything back.
Any approved cancellation, adjustment, or refund will be documented in writing and processed through the appropriate payment channel. Nothing in these terms removes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or overrides applicable LiveAuctioneers buyer protections.
14. NONPAYMENT
If an invoice remains unpaid after its stated deadline, Bidding Is Open may withhold release, contact the buyer to resolve the balance, and use LiveAuctioneers? available unpaid-item procedures.
Any further remedy will be pursued in accordance with applicable law and platform requirements. Contact us promptly if a payment problem occurs rather than leaving an invoice unresolved.
15. CORRECTIONS & TECHNICAL INTERRUPTIONS
Review published lot updates and auction notices before bidding. Material catalog errors, questions about ownership, or technical interruptions may require correction, withdrawal, or rescheduling of an affected lot in accordance with applicable law and platform procedures.
Report suspected bidding or invoice errors promptly so they can be reviewed against the available records.
16. APPLICABLE PLATFORM TERMS & BUYER RIGHTS
Use of LiveAuctioneers Payments and LiveAuctioneers Shipping is subject to their applicable service terms. These auction terms supplement those requirements and do not override mandatory platform obligations or rights provided by law.
If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
17. CONTACT
For lot questions, preview appointments, invoice questions, or pickup arrangements, contact Bidding Is Open through LiveAuctioneers. Include the relevant lot or invoice number.
For checkout, payment-processing, shipping-order, tracking, or shipping-claim assistance, use LiveAuctioneers? support channels associated with your account or order.
