Timed Auction Terms & Conditions

Best Estate Services, Inc. | No Reserve

ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS. This is not an approval sale. All sales are final. No returns, refunds, credits, or exchanges will be permitted under any circumstances.

1. Conditions of Sale

This is a public auction conducted by Best Estate Services, Inc. (“Auctioneer”), which acts solely as agent for the consignor or seller unless otherwise expressly stated.

By registering to bid and/or placing a bid, each bidder agrees to be bound by these Terms & Conditions, together with any additional terms, notices, auction information, invoices, shipping terms, or announcements published by the Auctioneer or the bidding platform for the sale.

A successful bid constitutes a legally binding agreement to purchase, and the successful bidder assumes full responsibility for payment and removal of the property in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.

2. Catalog Descriptions; Condition; As-Is Sale

All lots are sold AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, and without any representation or warranty, express or implied, including but not limited to any warranty as to authenticity, attribution, authorship, age, origin, condition, size, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, historical relevance, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Best Estate Services, Inc. endeavors in good faith to identify, catalog, photograph, and describe each lot as accurately as reasonably possible based on the information available at the time of cataloging. Catalog descriptions, photographs, dimensions, and condition comments are provided solely as a courtesy for identification and general guidance. They are statements of opinion only and shall not be relied upon as statements of fact, guarantees, or warranties.

No oral statement or written statement made by the Auctioneer, its employees, or representatives shall be deemed a warranty or guarantee unless expressly stated in writing by the Auctioneer.

3. Inspection and Bidder Responsibility

Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect property prior to bidding. If in-person inspection is not possible, bidders are responsible for requesting additional information, condition comments, or photographs before placing a bid.

Because many lots are antique, vintage, used, or estate property, they may exhibit age, wear, repairs, restorations, alterations, losses, imperfections, or other condition issues not specifically noted in the catalog description or photographs. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that a lot is free from defects.

By bidding, each bidder acknowledges that they have had the opportunity to inspect the property and are relying solely on their own judgment in determining the condition, value, and suitability of the lot.

4. Online Bidding; Technical Issues; Closing of Lots

This is an online auction. Bidding depends on third-party technology, internet connectivity, software, servers, devices, and the bidding platform. Best Estate Services, Inc. shall not be responsible for missed bids, delayed bids, failed transmissions, platform interruptions, browser issues, internet outages, or other technical failures beyond its reasonable control.

Because of internet latency or device-related delay, bids placed at the last moment may not be received or recorded in time. Bidders are encouraged to refresh their browser near the close of bidding and to use the Max Bid feature whenever possible.

Final auction results shall be based on the records maintained by the bidding platform and the Auctioneer. In the event of a dispute, clerical error, or technical malfunction, the Auctioneer shall have sole discretion to determine the successful bidder, reopen bidding, withdraw a lot, cancel a sale, or otherwise resolve the matter.

Best Estate Services, Inc. does not guarantee shipping rates, delivery times, or carrier performance and shall not be liable for loss, delay, or damage once property has been released to Shipping Saint, a carrier, freight provider, or other third-party shipper.

Oversized, fragile, high-value, or specialty items may require custom packing or third-party freight service. Bidders are encouraged to contact us before bidding to confirm shipping availability and estimated shipping requirements.

Local Pick-Up

Local pick-up is available only when expressly stated in the auction listing. Unless otherwise noted, all items will ship.

When local pick-up is offered, all property must be removed within the stated pick-up window or within any extension approved by the Auctioneer in writing.

While Best Estate Services, Inc. endeavors in good faith to accurately identify and describe each lot, the Auctioneer does not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of such information and shall not be liable for errors, omissions, or misattributions.
