For shipment of larger items and equipment you must have a shipper arranged prior to the auction to assist you in removing the item from our lot. The lot is rented therefore items must be picked up by end of day Friday July 16th following the auction; after which point the owner of the lot will legally have possession of any items left on their property. Please confirm that your shipper can remove the item by the Friday following the auction prior to bidding to avoid any issues. PREMIUMS: All invoices are sent out as soon as the auction ends, please look for them in the email provided by your online bidding profile. The Buyers Premium is 17 %. Here is the breakdown of our Premium: 10 % of the premium goes to our Auction hall and 3% ProxiBid BP (ProxiBid receives this premium) as well as a 4% credit card fee (that goes to the credit card processor) Plus Tax if you live in Maine. IF you pick your items up at 17 Olson Rd South Paris ME 04281 and pay Cash or Check the Buyer's Premium is only 13% (plus tax if applicable). The 4% credit card fee will be deducted off your invoice generated by invaluableauctions.com/Auctionzip.com at the time of payment. Maine residents will be charged 5.5% Maine state sales tax unless you have a current Resale Certificate. Auction house will need a copy of this resale certificate to void any sales tax on invoice at time of payment. CONDITION INFORMATION: Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any property in which they are interested, before the auction takes place. If a bidder is unable to view an item in person, they are responsible for obtaining/requesting a condition report and/or additional photographs prior to bidding to determine an article's condition, size and any other pertinent information. We strive to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and condition reports, however bidders must acknowledge that antique items, equipment, guns and artwork often show normal signs of use and wear, which might not be specified in a condition report. If you have very particular taste, it is advisable that you inspect items in person, as your definition of condition may be more exacting than ours. All statements by us in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied on as statement of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by us of any kind. References in the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. All property is sold 'AS IS, WHERE IS' and neither Paul Arsenault Auctioneers nor the consignor makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to property or its value, and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness of description, genuineness, attribution, provenance, authenticity, authorship, completeness, condition of property or estimate of value. No statement (oral or written) in this catalog, at the sale, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation, or any assumption of responsibility. All measurements are approximate. Antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result, honest wear earned from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be listed. Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding condition should call. We can only provide condition reports up to 48 hours prior to the auction. Thank you for understanding. DISPUTES/LATE FEES: Disputes will be filed by end of day Friday following an auction for unpaid invoices. In addition invoices will incur late fees of $5 per item, per day however items will still be available for the winning bidder to claim up to 14 business days after the auction. Any items left unpaid past this allotted time period will be considered abandoned and resold at the auctioneers sole discretion. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Auction house takes absentee bids as well as phone bids and executes them for bidders in house, these bids will be represented as floor bids on the online platform during the auction. Auction house runs multiple online sites during each auction as well, these competing bids will be represented as floor bids as well during the online auction. If you leave a Max Bid on an item and it goes for the price that highest bid you left that does not necessarily mean you won the lot. Since this is a frequently misunderstood situation I will give you an example: Joe left a Max Bid of $50 but a had a starting bid of $45 on Proxi; Nick left a Max Bid of $50 also but had a starting bid of $40. When the lot opens we would see Joe had a higher starting bid and accept Joe's $45 bid, after accepting Joes higher bid of $45 it would show us that Nick had another bid at $50 so we would accept Nicks higher bid. Then, since Joe's Max Bid was also $50 it would not show us that he had another bid. Also note that it does not tell us when you placed bids or that you also had the same Max Bid amount. Maine residents will be charged 5.5% State tax unless we have a valid Sales Tax Cert. Paul Arsenault Auctioneers follows all State and Federal Auction Laws in the USA. In the event of a disputed bid the decision of the auctioneer is FINAL and absolute. All items sold are sold AS IS WHERE IS, all listings are subject to error. The auctioneer shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness of, incorrectness, error in cataloging, or any imperfection not noted. All descriptions believed accurate but not warranted. Bidder inspection is encouraged. By placing a bid, bidder signifies that they have examined the items to their satisfaction, or that they have chosen not to personally examine them. No deduction will be allowed on damaged articles as all goods are sold as is and WITHOUT RECOURSE. Please do not place a bid without personally inspecting any items for yourself or sending a trusted professional on your behalf. Please ensure you know what you are bidding on PRIOR to bidding as once you win the lot the lot is yours. For internet-only auctions, we reserve the right to cancel and/or reopen the auction in the case of system failures.
