All property is sold “as is, where is” without any warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, EXCHANGES or REFUSALS. As the highest bidder, you are the buyer and are bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement and sale. The BUYER assumes full responsibility for any item purchased AT THE TIME IT IS SOLD, including the security of the item(s). Though we will do our best to maintain security of the items, there will be no refunds for stolen or missing items once the Auctioneer announces “sold”. In no event shall a bidder or buyer hold the Auctioneer responsible for having made or implied any warranty or merchantability or fitness for any specific purpose.

The Auctioneer is acting solely as an agent for the Seller. The Auctioneer shall assume no liability for representations made, or information provided by the Seller.

Property not removed within the announced time period will revert to the Seller for resale or disposal, without refund or recourse to the bidder.

On-Line Auctions

Neither the Auctioneer nor the Seller shall be responsible for any failure of any electronic or internet systems to accept or register a bid. Registered bidders must create a password that prevents others from using their account. Bidders are responsible for ALL bids placed under their name and password. This is a Public Auction and as such, all qualified bidders may bid, including Schur Success owners, family members and employees.

Online auctions use a “Dynamic” ending process. If a bid is received in the last few minutes before the scheduled closing of an item, the timer on that item will extend, and will continue to extend each time a bid is received. Once the bidding stops, and the timer runs out, that item will be eligible to close. In some cases, items are “linked”, keeping one item open for bidding when a different item in the auction has been extended due to active bidding.

It is the Bidder's responsibility to determine condition, age, genuineness, value or any other determinative factor of all items. Auctioneer may attempt to describe the merchandise in advertising, on the internet and at the auction but makes no representations. In no event shall the Auctioneer be held responsible for having made or implied any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Auctioneer does not guarantee any appraisals, gradings or certifications. If you have any questions about the merchandise, ASK YOUR QUESTION BEFORE PLACING BIDS. Bidders shall be the sole judges of value. It is Bidder's responsibility to determine if any item is legal where they live.

By placing a bid, Bidder acknowledges that they have inspected the items to their satisfaction or chooses to not examine them at their sole risk. Even though an item may display as "sold" on the internet, no sales are final until they are certified by the Auctioneer and the bidder receives an invoice. Auctioneer reserves the right to cancel any or all sales and resell the items in whatever manner he or she chooses.

Bidding increments are automatically adjusted based on the chart provided for each auction and are subject to change at the sole discretion of Auctioneer.

Bids cannot and will not be removed or altered, unless in the opinion of the auctioneer, the bidder can establish that the bid was an obvious typographical error.
