Notes

Your bid is a contract. All items are sold 'As Is'. All sales are final.

Please note: The auctioneer usually auctions approximately 150 lots per hour. Sometimes the Live Bidding software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an Online Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of online live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding online via the internet, you agree that Gray's Auctioneers may award the lot to another bidder at their discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since online bids are not conveyed to Gray's until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the online bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie online live bids. Also please note that all lots purchased through online live bidding carry a Buyer's Premium and a bidding fee. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. Please get a condition report and a shipping quote before bidding. This lot is being auctioned during a live floor auction at Gray's Auctioneers. All invoices will be emailed to the winning bidder by Gray's Auctioneers and must be paid within 5 days of the auction.

Payment

Winning bidders will receive an emailed invoice. You may pay by credit card, check, PayPal, cash and wire transfer. All winning bids over $5,000 must be paid by wire transfer, please contact Auction House for bank details. All lots must be paid for for within five (5) days of the auction. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. ALL LOTS ARE SOLD 'AS IS'.
