Letter to a Friend in the 38th PA Inf. Dated November 23, 1861

1. The items descriptions for this specialty auction were described and catalogued to the best of our ability. We take a lot of pride in taking as many photographs as possible of the individual lots. Hence, we let our pictures “do the talking”. So, take your time looking over the pictures of the lots you are interested in. We highly advise that you inspect the items personally for accuracy, originality, and condition. If you cannot inspect the items personally, we recommend that you look at our digital catalog found on our website so you can see the detailed photos of the specific lots you are interested in. You can also call our office at 717-334-6941 and speak to one of our staff so that they can look over the items you are interested in and discuss any questions or concerns that you may have so that you feel confident in bidding on your chosen item(s). Note: We recommend you call the week of the auction, January 10th-14th for condition reports. 2. It is the sole responsibility of you as the bidder to satisfy yourself on the age, originality, authenticity, and condition of the lot before bidding by either live-in person, absentee, phone or internet bidding. Absolutely No Refunds! 3. We are not responsible for any typographical errors. 4. No Reserves. All Items will have new owners. 5. The Auctioneer is the sole determinant of who is the successful bidder. 6. We offer four methods of bidding in this auction. A. Live-In House – You are present in person for the auction B. Phone Bidding – All requests for phone bidding should be made by Friday, January 14th, 5:00 PM EST, prior to the day of the auction so we can incorporate you into our phone bid schedule. Our staff will call you Two – Five lots prior to the lot that you are interested in. You will be able to hear the auctioneer so you can bid as you are here in person through our staff. C. Absentee Bidding – All absentee bids must be received by Friday, January 14th, 5:00 PM EST, prior to the day of the auction. Our staff will bid for you just like you were live in the audience. Our Live-In House audience takes precedence, and we allow our audience to start the bidding process and then we will activate your bid if applicable unless we have more than one absentee bid on that item (i.e. We have a bid for $500 and one at $800, the bidding will start at $600). A lot of times our bidder will get their items for less than the amount they left as their maximum bid. Feel confident when leaving your absentee bid. D. Internet Bidding – Internet bidding will be available through, ProxiBid.com, Invaluable.com and AuctionZip.com at their terms and subject to a 15% Buyer’s Premium. Please Note: If bidding by 6B, 6C, 6D you acknowledge all the terms and conditions of this auction and understand that we do our best to execute all bids correctly. However, errors are made at times and unforeseen technical difficulties can be an issue. In the event of such an error, at no point will the auctioneer be held liable. Once the auctioneer says “Sold” on that lot, you are the new owner. You are responsible for payment in full. Our staff will contact you One-Three days after the auction to arrange the final payment, packaging, and shipping method. (Packaging and Shipping costs are an added expense). Redding Auction Service Inc./Going Postal-Gettysburg (3rd Party Shipper will facilitate packaging & shipping where feasible. There is No Buyer’s Premium if you bid using method A, B, and C. 7.
