If you are uncertain, please contact us with your questions prior to bidding. If you are still uncertain after we reply, please refrain from bidding. Photos and other graphic material contained in any listing of generic or duplicate lots may be stock presentations and not necessarily of the specific lot.
All property is sold "as is", and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, or description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.
The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before and during the sale, as well as reserve the right to group one or more lots into one or more selling lots, or to subdivide into two or more selling lots. Artistic Holdings Company shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal, addition or amendment.

Artistic Holdings Company is in the business of locating items for sale, listing them for sale, selling them and shipping them. Artistic Holdings Company is not in the business of collecting delinquent accounts receivable. Artistic Holdings Company finds the need to do so unpleasant and a gross waste of its resources. Therefore, in fairness to Artistic Holdings Company and the many Bidders who do follow the agreed upon terms and conditions, violating Bidders are required to pay the following charges for forcing Artistic Holdings Company to spend valuable time and effort on collecting the delinquent Bidder's account and taking time away from listing items for sale and related functions.
Artistic Holdings Company' relationship with bidders is simple and straight-forward: Artistic Holdings Company finds, Artistic Holdings Company lists, Artistic Holdings Company sells, Bidder signs up, Bidder bids, Bidder wins, Bidder pays, Artistic Holdings Company ships. Artistic Holdings Company does not wish to collect any of the fees stated below. However, when a Bidder unilaterally violates the terms and conditions by not paying as agreed, and forces Artistic Holdings Company outside of the simple equation stated above, using valuable time and effort for non-income producing purposes, the following charges shall be vigorously applied and collected. By signing up to bid and by bidding, bidder agrees not to violate the payment provisions of these General Terms and Conditions.
Payments Include Wire Transfer, PayPal, and All Major Credit Cards. 20% Restocking fee applies to merchandise rejected by the buyer due to reasons other than misrepresentation by Artistic Holdings Company.
All residents of Nevada are subject to a Nevada State Sales Tax rate of 8.1% unless a valid NV State sales tax exemption certificate is presented before the sale. The rate will be applied to the buyer's premium as well. A Buyer's premium amounting to 12% of the winning bid amount will be added to the purchase price of each lot.
All sales are final. No lots are sold on approval. Placing a bid is a legally binding obligation. There are no returns or exchanges. All lots are sold as is, where is, with all the faults, imperfections, omissions and errors in the written description, estimates, appraisals, graphics and photography. Artistic Holdings Company is not responsible for any errors or omissions in the description, graphics or photography provided or in the bidding software. Due diligence to verify the condition and description of a lot is the sole responsibility of the Bidder prior to placing any bid. Returns may only be made with the advance written authorization of Artistic Holdings Company and are in Artistic Holdings Company's sole discretion to approve. To request a return you must provide a written request fully explaining the basis for the return no later than 3 days after your receipt of the lot. Under no circumstances will any amounts other than the winning bid amount be refunded. A restocking charge of 20% of the full invoice amount may apply in Artistic Holdings Company' sole discretion. Any allowed returns must be received in exactly the same condition as when originally shipped to Buyer, or they will be returned to buyer at Buyer's cost. Any unauthorized returns will be refused. Delivery refusal of items shipped by Artistic Holdings Company to the bidder constitutes an unauthorized return in direct violation of these general terms and conditions.
If for any reason a purchased lot cannot be delivered in the same condition as at the time of sale, or should any purchased lot be stolen, misdelivered or lost prior to delivery, Artistic Holdings Company shall not be liable for any amount in excess of that paid by the purchaser.
In the event that a bidder does not respond to Artistic Holdings Company' request for payment or does not fulfill complete payment within three business days, a second attempt for payment will be sent. A final invoice will be sent soon thereafter and if payment in full is not received the account will be reported to Live Auctioneers as a non-responsive bidder and the Bidder will not be able to participate in any further auctions.
Shipping will be handled in-house for most lots. This is in an effort to maintain the lowest shipping and handling cost for our buyers. We provide handling, packing and shipping services solely as a convenience for our Bidders. Because Bidders most often opt for these services, we include an estimated amount in the auction invoice
Our responsibility for damage to or loss of any lot ends once it has been turned over to the USPS, FedEx, UPS, or other shipping enterprise for delivery and/or packing. By bidding, the winning Bidder agrees that any and all claims for loss or damage to the lot will be handled solely through the insurance claims process (if insurance was available) or the carrier and acknowledges that insurance may be subject to deductibles or other limitations which are not the responsibility of Artistic Holdings Company. Artistic Holdings Company is not responsible to any loss resulting from items being shipped to an alternate address or recipient provided by Bidder.
We ship primarily by FedEx, Ground or USPS priority mail within a commercially reasonable time following credit of the Bidders payment to our account. On average, a Bidder may expect to receive their items within 2 weeks from payment clearing, however, now and then there may be a delay in delivery. The actual cost of shipping, insurance, registry and confirmation services is charged to the Bidder, as well as a packing/handling fee not to exceed $5 per item to defray the cost of labor and supplies involved. Large, heavy, fragile or otherwise unusual items will incur additional charges. Under special circumstances, Artistic Holdings Company may ship items using USPS Express Mail, private carriers or pack and ship enterprises, the cost of which shall be charged to the Bidder. Artistic Holdings Company will not entertain shipment using lower classes of mail due to the increased risk of loss. Requests of earlier shipment or special handling may be accommodated on a limited basis at Artistic Holdings Company' sole discretion and ability and may incur additional handling charges. All costs charged to a Bidder's original invoice are estimates and Artistic Holdings Company reserves the right to charge additional amounts if such estimates are exceeded and Bidder hereby agrees to such additional amounts. Artistic Holdings Company may, at its sole discretion, combine the shipment of items from multiple auctions over a 7-day period to reduce shipping costs.
Shipments to Alaska, US Territories and Foreign Countries - Shipping and handling charges to these locations are higher and often require registry or express mail. Insurance coverage to foreign locations may also be limited by the shipping carriers. Artistic Holdings Company will ship items to foreign locations using the same classes of mail and additional postal services that it uses to ship to US locations, to the extent that such services are available, and, insurance coverage may be limited or unavailable. In Artistic Holdings Company' sole discretion USPS shipments to foreign locations shall utilize registered mail and Bidder shall pay for the costs thereof. It is the foreign bidder's obligation to be aware of and instruct Artistic Holdings Company regarding any special taxes or fees applicable to their particular circumstances.
No items will be shipped to any Bidder for any particular auction until all charges for the auction have been paid in full and all funds have cleared. Even if paid in full, no items will be shipped to any Bidder for any particular auction if the Bidder has any balances with Artistic Holdings Company from other auctions which are not in compliance with the provisions of payment above, until such balances are paid in full and all funds have cleared. Artistic Holdings Company may, at its sole discretion, require any Bidder to return a signed sales receipt prior to shipping.
In consideration of Artistic Holdings Company' approval of a Bidder to bid in any sale, Bidder permits Artistic Holdings Company to add Bidder to Artistic Holdings Company' mailing list. Artistic Holdings Company will send information to Bidder relating to Artistic Holdings Company' activities and will not provide Bidders mailing information to third parties except as necessary to provide information to Bidder relating to Artistic Holdings Company' activities. Bidder may freely opt out of mailings at any time by following the instructions in any mailing and Bidder agrees that any mailings from Artistic Holdings Company or third parties providing information relating to Artistic Holdings Company are not spam.
