Conditions of Sale
1. Rejection of Bids. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article
offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the
auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously.
2 The Buyer The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between
two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the
lot so in dispute. .
3. Identification and Deposit by Buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot shall be
given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a card
giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address.
A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the
purchase prices as may be required.
If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased
may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold.
4. Risk after Purchase. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and
thereafter neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or any
damage to any article occasioned by theft, fire, breakage or any other cause.
5. Delivery of Purchases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment of
the total amount due for all purchases at the sale.
6. Keceipted Bills. Goods will be delivered only on presentation of a receipted bill. A
receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order by the
buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a receipted
bill is lost before delivery of the property has been made, the buyer should immediately
notify the Association of such loss
4. Storage in Default of Prompt Payment and Calling for Goods. Articles not paid for
in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following that
of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and
stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and
the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against the
purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be
upon the purchaser.
In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the
day following that of the sale, the Association reserves the right, any other stipulation in
these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all of lots so purchased to
cancel the sale thereof or to re-sell the same at public or private sale without further
notice for the account of the buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any losses and
costs sustained in so doing.
8. Shipping. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the
Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to pur-
chasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers;
doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and
charges of the parties engaged for such service.
9. Guaranty. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and
endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or
imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association of the
correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and no
sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imperfec-
tion not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘as is’? and without recourse.
Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Associa-
tion will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that
any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot
as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become
responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation.
10. Records. The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to be
considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and
seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie.
11. Buying on Order. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on
orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or telephone will be faithfully attended to
without charge or commission Any purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing
conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot of one or more books
by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been present at the
exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned within ten days
from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded if the lot in any manner
differs from its catalogue description.
Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness as to
leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also
the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists
of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume or piece should
also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit
must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given.
Priced Catalogues. Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be fur-
nished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying
the necessary information from the records of the Association.
No person other than the auctioneer or an official of the Association is authorized
to arrange conditions of sale different in any way from those herein contained.
