All Lots are Sold AS-IS

All merchandise is available for inspection and should be inspected before bidding. Condition reports are not included in catalog descriptions. Although condition is sometimes noted for an item in our catalog, it has not been noted on every item, and the catalog should not be construed as a full condition report. It is the responsibility of prospective bidders to examine lots and decide their level of interest. Neither the auctioneer nor the consignor, is responsible for the accuracy of any printed or verbal descriptions. All weights and measurements are approximate.

Willis Henry Auctions, Inc. assumes no responsibility for the correct description, genuineness, authenticity of, or defect in any lot and makes no warranty in connection therewith.

Absentee Bids

All Absentee Bids, whether accepted Online or in person, are executed by a member of our staff as a free service to the bidder. The staff member will bid competitively up to the amount specified. The bid will start in the audience and the next logical raise will be executed by our staff member, until the bidding stops on or below the amount specified on the Absentee Form. If the bidding stops in the audience on the exact amount of the Absentee Bid the Company policy (Plus One) is for our staff member to bid the next raise so that the absentee bidder will not lose the Lot at the exact amount.If two or more absentee bids are received from different bidders on the same Lot, the bidding will start at the next logical raise above the second from the highest bid. If two or more identical absentee bids are received from different bidders, the bid first received by the Company will take precedent.

All online bidders must register prior to the auction in which they wish to bid .

 

Willis Henry Auctions, Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time. The auctioneers may reject an opening bid, or if having acknowledged an opening bid they decide that any advance is insufficient, they may reject that advance and withdraw the lot.

These conditions may be waived or modified at the sole discretion of Willis Henry Auctions, Inc.

3. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of the sale, all bids are to be for a single article even though more than one article is included under a numbered item in the catalogue. If, however, the articles under any one numbered item are designated as a “Lot” then bids are to be for the lot irrespective of the number of articles described in such item.
4. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneer may, at his discretion, determine who is the successful bidder, and his decision shall be final; or the auctioneer may re-offer and resell the article in dispute.
5. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid, may be rejected by the auctioneer, at his discretion, if in his judgment such bids would be likely to affect the sale injuriously.
6. The name and address of the buyer of each article or lot shall be given to the Company immediately following the sale thereof and payment of the whole purchase price, or such part thereof as the company may require, shall be immediately made by the purchaser thereof.
