By registering and bidding in this auction, you agree to the following terms.

BUYER'S PREMIUM
A 20% buyer's premium is added to the hammer price of every lot.

SALES TAX
Indiana sales tax of 7% is charged unless a valid resale or exemption certificate is on file with Burgess Auctions before invoicing. Sales tax on shipped items is charged as required by law.

INVOICING & PAYMENT
All invoices are issued and collected directly by Burgess Auctions. Watch for your emailed invoice from BurgessAuctions.com. Pay through your Burgess Auctions account or by phone at 765-445-7814. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. We do not accept American Express. Payment in full is due by [PAYMENT DEADLINE]. Buyers who fail to pay may have their purchases resold and may be barred from future Burgess Auctions sales.

SELLING WITHOUT RESERVE
Lots sell to the highest bidder regardless of price, subject to the opening bid set for each lot.

CONDITION: AS-IS, WHERE-IS
All lots are sold as-is, where-is, with no warranties or guarantees of any kind, expressed or implied. Descriptions, dimensions, dates, attributions, marks, and editions are provided in good faith as a guide and are not warranties. Terms such as "after," "style," "in the manner of," and "mark" mean exactly that. They are not statements of authorship, period, or origin. Bidders are responsible for satisfying themselves as to condition and authenticity before bidding. Please request condition reports before the sale. Absence of a condition note does not mean a lot is free of wear, restoration, or damage.

BIDDING
The auctioneer controls the bidding increments and has sole discretion to settle any bidding dispute. The auctioneer may reopen or re-offer a lot, withdraw a lot, or group or divide lots. Burgess Auctions is not responsible for internet or platform errors or missed bids. The auctioneer's decision is final.

PICKUP & REMOVAL
Pickup is Monday, October 5, 9 AM - 5 PM, or by appointment, at 45 W. Carey Street, Knightstown, IN. Invoices must be paid in full before items are released. All items must be picked up or paid for shipping by Sunday, October 11. Items not picked up or paid for shipping by that date are considered abandoned and may be resold or disposed of without refund.

SHIPPING
See the Shipping Information section of this listing.

FIREARMS
Firearms lots are subject to all federal, state, and local laws. Transfers are handled by Burgess Auctions, a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL). Firearms ship only to a licensed FFL dealer or transfer in person with ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check. Antique firearms (manufactured in or before 1898) may be exempt from FFL requirements. Buyers are responsible for knowing and complying with the laws of their state and locality before bidding. Burgess Auctions may refuse any transfer that cannot be legally completed, and the sale may be canceled. Firearms are sold as-is with no representation as to safety or function. Call 765-445-7814 to arrange firearms payment and transfer.

TITLE & RISK
Title and risk of loss pass to the buyer at the fall of the hammer. Items remain the buyer's responsibility from that point, including while awaiting pickup or shipment.

GOVERNING LAW
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.
