Terms
Antiquities of Nevada and Antiquities of California welcome you to our 1st Live Auction on Invaluable. Antiquities has been in the memorabilia business for more than 35 years, longer than any other memorabilia company in the country. With our World Famous retail location at The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace and our internet/wholesale offices in N. California, we cover the globe with unique, one-of-a-kind and 100% in-person and/or forensically certified authentic autographed memorabilia! From George Washington to Jerry Seinfeld to Led Zeppelin to "Darth Vader" - we literally do it all!
All current autographed items are obtained in-person and we get signing photos at every opportunity. Every item from Antiquities comes with a Lifetime Certificate of Authenticity - which we all know is only as good as the paper it's written on - except when you have 35 years of business and a retail location in the most prestigious mall in the country standing behind it! Now onto the rules and stuff...
The Auction does include a Buyer's Premium which will be added to the final invoice total. The final invoice will also include a Live Fee (5%).
Buyer's Premium: 25%
