ALL BIDS MADE ARE FINAL AND SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

ALL SALES ARE FINAL REGARDLESS OF CONDITION, DESCRIPTION OR OPINION OF VALUE

PLEASE READ ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING

If you have any questions or are unclear on anything outlined in our Terms and Conditions, please contact us to clarify prior to any bidding.

1. REGISTRATION

Complete and accurate online registration through HiBid is required prior to bidding. Auction registration must be made at least 24 hours before the auction starts, so be sure to register early to assure your approval for bidding during the auction. All bidders must be 18 years of age or older to bid. PCH Auctions has sole discretion as to who can and cannot place bids.

2. LOT CATALOG

Every item is sold “As Is, Where Is.” Lot descriptions are for simple identification purposes only and are believed to be accurate. We do our best to describe each item accurately, but it is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves as to value, condition, and size. Do not rely solely on photos to make buying decisions.

If description does not match the picture in a lot, the description takes precedence. No representations are made to the authenticity, age, origin, or value and the auctioneer makes no warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied. All measurements, weights & sizes are approximate.

All obvious damages seen at time of listing have been identified. Common nicks, scratches, and wear may not have been called out. Any display props or mannequins used to display items are not part of the lot unless specifically stated and remain the property of PCH Auctions.

Auction Company assumes no liability for errors, omissions, accurate weights or measures, additions and/or deletions in the auction catalog.

4. BIDDING

Buyer relies solely on his/her own judgment when bidding.

The auction company reserves the right to correct any and all errors that could happen before or during the auction including typographical, clerking errors, or any errors caused by loss of an Internet connection or removal of any item up to the time of final sale. All questions regarding merchandise should be asked before the auction begins.

PCH Auctions, the Auctioneer, and Auction staff reserve the right to bid in this auction. This may include bidding for personal purchase or on behalf of consignors to protect reserves. All such bidding will be conducted under the same terms and conditions as all other bidders.
