Welcome to TAMARKIN RARE CAMERA AUCTION

Please read the "General Instructions" and the "Terms and Conditions":

I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. BUYER'S PREMIUM

The Buyer's Premium is 15%.

2. CONDITION

All items are offered "as is." There is no return privilege, and all sales are final.

We have sought to express carefully a useful, general guide to the condition of each Lot. We have also attempted to describe any damage or restoration, but our descriptions cannot be accepted as absolutely definitive and complete. The absence of such a reference does not imply that a Lot is free from defects nor does any reference to particular defects imply the absence of others.

3. GUIDE TO RATINGS OF CONDITION OF BOOKS

Fine: Outstanding condition, approaching "like new" but without being crisp. The book may have been opened and read, but there are no defects to the book, jacket or pages.

Excellent: Excellent condition, a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper.

Good: Good condition, average, a used worn book that has all pages or leaves present.

Fair: Fair condition, worn, complete, but well-handled and well-read.

Poor: Poor condition describes a book that is very worn. Pages might be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges and pages.

4. ESTIMATES & RESERVES

The estimated prices in the catalogue descriptions are the approximate prices expected to be realized, excluding Buyer's Premium. They are prepared well in advance of the auction sale and are subject to revision. Furthermore, they are not definitive and meant only to represent general guidelines. Every item in the auction has a private "reserve" price.

5. INTERNET ON-LINE BIDDING

You will be able to bid, if you choose, in "real time" during the auction. Bidders pay a 15% Buyer's Premium.

6. VIEWING

All lots are available for inspection prior to the sale. Please note the viewing schedule. Our staff will attempt to answer questions and give advice, but the final decision to bid, and the amount to bid, is at your discretion and liability.

7. LOCAL TAXES

A 6.35% tax is due on all deliveries made in Connecticut. However, all lots that are delivered outside Connecticut are not charged any local taxes.

8. SHIPPING

All lots are available to the buyer at the end of the auction. Tamarkin Rare Camera Auctions undertakes the shipment of auction purchases only as a courtesy to buyers. The Buyer pays all freight and insurance costs, plus a modest additional fee for packaging and handling.

We normally ship via United States Postal Service by Parcel Post for domestic shipments, and by International Priority for foreign shipments.

Note that some countries have limits of insurance and therefore all liability for shipments above a country's limit will lie with the Buyer. All risk of loss, theft, and damage passes to the Buyer upon dispatch by the freight company or postal service.

Payment must be made in U.S. Dollars ($) and may be made in any one of the following: credit card or debit card via PayPal, or bank wire transfer.
