Condition reports are available by request via phone or e-mail and must be made no later than 12:00 noon the day preceding the sale.

It is your right to come and measure for yourself. If any measurement is inaccurate, it is your responsibility. We are sorry for any inconvenience but there is always a chance of human error.
