Terms & Conditions
Please Note, Our Terms of Sale have recently changed as of September 2014
Terms of Sale
1. All items are sold as is, where is, with all faults.
There are no warranties or representations of
merchantability, of fitness, nor of any other kind,
express or implied. All items are available for your
examination prior to bidding. Your bidding will
signify that you have examined the items as fully
as you desire, or that you have chosen not to
examine them. Written and oral descriptions are
our opinions and should in no way be construed
as a guarantee of any kind as to age, condition,
materials or any other feature of items being sold.
Our goal is to provide prospective bidders with
accurate and detailed information. We recommend prospective bidders examine all items
in which they have an interest. If you require
absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and
the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty
in your mind, we recommend you not bid on the
item in question. We do not give refunds. All sales
are final. No statement written or oral made by
the auctioneer shall be deemed a warranty or assumption of liability by Brunk Auctions or by any
seller represented by Brunk Auctions.
2. Bidding will begin at a price appropriate in
auctioneer?s discretion. The auctioneer always
reserves the right to withdraw a lot for any reason
he deems appropriate. At the auctioneer?s discretion, no bid of less than one half the low estimate
will be accepted from any source: phone bidding,
absentee bidding, internet bidding, or bidding
in the gallery. All lots in this catalog are offered
subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum hammer price at which a lot will be sold.
In executing a reserve, the auctioneer has the
right to bid on behalf of the Consignor, whether
by opening bidding or continuing bidding in
response to other bidders until reaching the reserve. If the reserve is not met, the Auctioneer has
the right to withdraw the item from the sale.
3. Once we declare that an item is sold, we cannot reopen the bidding. It is the bidder?s responsibility to get our attention prior to our saying
?sold?. We reserve the right to reject any bids
deemed inappropriate or to withdraw any item(s)
for lack of appropriate bids. If an item is withdrawn from the auction it will be offered again
only at the auctioneer?s discretion.
4. Payment must be made by cash, approved
check, wire transfer, or MasterCard, Visa, Discover
and American Express credit cards. We reserve the
right to require bank checks for large purchases.
Buyers not known to us who wish to write a check
must provide a current letter of credit from their
bank guaranteeing funds for that account. Credit
arrangements must be made by the Friday prior
to the day of auction so bank statements can
be verified. We reserve the right to not issue a
buyer?s number or to withhold merchandise if
appropriate credit has not been established. We
require wire transfers for international buyers.
5. Payment is expected at time of purchase.
Payment for successful absentee, phone bids
and online bids are required within fie business
days of the auction. Bidding on an item indicates
the client?s acceptance of our Terms of Sale. Your
signature on our Bid Form or acceptance of these
terms through any online bidding platform constitutes permission to charge successful bids to
credit cards if payment is not received within fie
days of the auction.
6. We are pleased to offer absentee and phone
bidding for prospective bidders who cannot
be present at the auction. Please complete the
Absentee Bid and/or Phone Reservation form.
Absentee bids are executed competitively and
confidentially. All reservations for phone bidding
are held in the strictest confidence and must be
received by 5 pm the day before the auction. No
additional phone bids can be accepted on the day
of the auction including additions when speaking
with a staff person on the phone. We can accept
written absentee bids submitted on the Absentee
Bid Form up to 30 lots before the item comes up
for auction. Leaving an absentee or phone bid
on a lot indicates your willingness to open the
bidding at one half the printed low estimate, and
gives the auctioneer the authority to open the
bidding at that level. Brunk Auctions shall have
the right to withdraw any item at any time for any
reason and to default any sale in the event of an
error or dispute.
7. In the case of identical absentee bids, the bid
received fist will prevail. Bids left on liveauctioneers.com are not executed until the item is
offered in the live auction and the order in which
they are received is not a factor. We sell 70-100
lots per hour. Following are general guidelines
for bidding increments:
$0-$1,000......................$50 increments
$1,000-3,000................$100 or $200 increments
$3,000-5,000................$200 or $500 increments
$5,000-10,000..............$500 or $1,000 increments
$10,000-$50,000.........$1,000, $2,000 or $5,000
increments
above $50,000.........auctioneers discretion
8. In our experience, cellular phones are not
always dependable, and we recommend phone
bidding reservations be made on land lines. We
make every effort to honor all absentee and
phone bid reservations, but we are not liable for
any losses incurred as a result of failure to execute
absentee bids or failed phone reservations.
Submitting absentee bids or bidding by phone
does not imply an extension of credit. Please see
numbers 4 and 5 above.
9. Purchaser agrees that packing and shipping
is done at the purchaser?s risk and that the purchaser will pay in advance all packing expenses,
materials, carrier fees and insurance charges. At
our discretion, items will either be packed by an
agent such as a packaging store or Brunk Auctions. Please allow two weeks for shipping after
payment is received. Shipment of large items is
the responsibility of the purchaser. We are happy
to provide names of carriers and shippers if a purchaser so requests. Brunk Auctions will have no
liability for any loss or damage to shipped items.
10. Note to internet absentee bidders. We do not
accept cut bids, (bids less than the last interval)
from the floor or from phone bidders, and we do
not accept them from internet bidders. Thus it
is possible that a lot could go to another bidder
for less than your absentee bid. For example, if
the bids are progressing in ten dollar increments,
$50, $60, $70 and your absentee falls at $75, we
will not take the bid since it is less than the $10
interval. We always encourage bidders to bid by
phone or to leave absentee bids through our to
avoid such a situation.
11. All purchases are subject to applicable North
Carolina sales tax unless the North Carolina Certificate of Resale tax form is fully and completely
filed out and received prior to time of purchase.
Resale tax numbers from other states are accepted. International buyers are responsible for
tariffs, taxes, or assessments of shipped items to
the buyer?s country.
12. Bidding on an item indicates your understanding and acceptance of these Terms of Sale. If
a purchaser breaches any of these Terms of Sale,
including the obligation to pay for purchased
items, Brunk Auctions may seek all remedies
under the law including canceling the sale and
re-offering the property without reserve.
13. A buyer?s premium will be applied to the
purchase price of all items:
18%....Cash, check or wire transfer
21%....MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American
Express credit cards
21%....Live internet bidding with cash, check or
wire transfer
24%....Live internet bidding with MasterCard, Visa,
Discover and American Express credit cards
14. Purchased items not picked up from our auction
facility within ten business days of the auction will
be assessed a storage fee of $5.00 per day, per item.
You authorize us to re-sell on your behalf any item
not picked up within sixty calendar days. The costs
of storage, plus any other costs directly related to
the item, and an auctioneer?s commission of 20%,
will be subtracted from the proceeds unless other
arrangements have been made with Brunk Auctions.
The minimum charge will be $50. The net proceeds
will be mailed to your address as stated herein in full
and final settlement of our obligations to you.
15. We are closed on Fridays the week following
auctions. Please arrange appointments for other
days.
16. Export and Permits - It is the purchaser?s sole
responsibility to identify and obtain any necessary
export, import, firearm, endangered species or other
permit for the lot. Any symbols or notices in the
sale catalog reflect Brunk Auctions? reasonable
opinion at the time of cataloging and are for bidders? general guidance only; Brunk Auctions and the
Consignor make no representations or warranties as
to whether any lot is or is not subject to export or
import restrictions or any embargoes.
17. Endangered Species - Certain property sold at
auction, for example, items made of or incorporating plant or animal materials, irrespective of age or
value, may require a license or certificate prior to
exportation and additional licenses or certificates
upon importation to another country. Brunk Auctions suggests that international buyers check on
foreign governments? wildlife import requirements
prior to placing a bid. All buyers agree to comply
with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of endangered species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain
an export license or certificate does not ensure the
ability to obtain an import license or certificate in
another country, and vice versa. It is the purchaser?s
responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses
and/or certificates as well as any other required
documentation. In the case of denial of any export
or import license or of delay in the obtaining of such
licenses, the purchaser is still responsible for making
on-time payment of the total purchase price for the
lot. Although licenses can be obtained to export
some types of endangered species, other types
may not be exported at all, and other types may
not be resold in the United States. Brunk Auctions
is not able to assist the purchaser in attempting to
obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates,
and there is no assurance that an export license or
certificate can be obtained. Please check with our
specialists if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is
subject to these export/import license and certificate
requirements, or any other restrictions on exportation.
18. Due to the embargo on Persian carpets, international shipping is not available.
19. Brunk Auctions makes no warranty or guarantee whatsoever regarding the jewelry, its colored
stones, diamonds, other gem materials, or metals, or
as to their status as natural, treated, ?earth mined?,
manmade or other. Appraisals, descriptions, photographs, are offered as a service and are not intended
to be a complete analysis of the qualities and conditions of the jewelry. All identifications, information,
weights, quality, cut, value and other estimates, are
opinions, limited by examination and grading the
mountings, the condition and cleanliness of the
items. All gems, colored stones, diamonds, ?cultured
or natural pearls, fresh water, south sea, Tahitian
pearls?, and other materials used in jewelry, may be
enhanced by a variety of treatments. Brunk Auctions
makes no warranties or guaranties that any clock or
watch is in working order
