Conditions of Sale
Terms and Conditions
Bidding on any item indicates the bidder's acceptance of the following terms and conditions:
1. There is a 15% buyers premium for this sale which will be added to the final bid price on each item and will be the same if you pay by cash, check or credit card.
As these two sessions are both timed online auctions, the closing of Session 1 auction will commence with Lot 1 at 6:00 PM EST on Sunday, January 20, 2019.
Session 2 will start to close on Monday, January 21, 2019 at 6:00 pm. On both auctions, each successive lot will start to close one minute after the next. These will be soft closes so any bid received within 5 minutes of the end closing time will extend the bidding for another 5 minutes so everyone can have the opportunity to bid. During this time, please refresh your screen often to enable you to see the latest bid on the item.
2. Accepted methods of payment are cash, personal or business check, wire transfer ($15 fee), or major credit cards accepted through the AuctionZip/Invaluable websites (WePay). To use the credit card option, just pay the invoice you receive from us by hitting the payment button on the online invoice and that will charge the card you have used to register with the auction. If you have not paid your invoice in 4 days then we will automatically charge the credit card you used to register unless we hear from you to do otherwise.
If you are bidding on any one of the guns that are featured in session 2, please realize that Invaluable/AuctionZip's payment system (WePay) does not allow their service to be used to purchase guns. If you want to use a credit card, then you will need to call our office at 859 498 0208 and talk to Teri Swartz who can process your credit card payment for that item.
There is a handling charge of $35.00 for any returned check. Currency is U.S. Dollars.
