Absence of a condition report does not imply an item is in undamaged or in perfect condition, unused, unworn, mint or without defect. No supplemental statements, written, oral, at the podium, advertised, used in a receipt description or otherwise creates any warranty, representation, appraisal, certification of authenticity or liability on behalf of RSES or their clients.

Bidders are liable for both hammer price and a 25 percent additional Buyers Premium, a specified percentage amount in addition to the hammer or sale price, based on the hammer or sale price, due to the seller, RSES, as additional earned commission, payable by the winning bidder as a component part of the purchase price in addition to the hammer or sale or post sale price and not applicable to consignor proceeds if a consigned item. There is additional applicable sales tax, use tax or proof of current tax exempt status, all duties, VAT, shipping, packing, handling, storage fees if applicable and any other related fees in specific time parameters whether or not specified herein. A sale may be voided by RSES for for noncompliance to any or all sale and or terms provisions and the entire dollar amount and or commission and or buyer premium due RSES and or specific performance may still be deemed by RSES due RSES. Bidders are agreed to be liable principals unless otherwise outlined with RSES in advance. Live, absentee, telephone, online and other proxy bids are accepted and enacted at the sole discretion of RSES as available depending upon both event and upon discretion of RSES. When such bids or bidding is or are available, it is the practice of RSES to accept the first of identical bids however our bidding platforms may also prioritize bids with their own separate protocols but all bids are provided solely as a convenience by RSES who shall assume no liability for errors, omissions, missed, dropped or late calls, software, hardware, intranet, internet or human failure or other any matter concerning any live, analog or digital live or media conveyances, failed or unexecuted, missed, delayed, late or otherwise unentered bids or missold items. RSES may refuse the admission, participation and or bidding of any party at any time on any or all lots. Some or all lots may be subject to a reserve price and or minimum opening bid or in the absence of a reserve an auctioneers discretionary opening or minimum amount and when any such minimum is present it shall not exceed the low estimate where provided by law. RSES may use computer operated timed bidding and or live bidding as available and may open bidding at, or as available, below a reserve or advertised starting amount and or advance the bidding in a competitive manner up to the minimum and or reserve amount either in response to other bids or consecutively or arbitrarily or the auctioneer may present or seek declining bids and then incline with or without increment thereafter. RSES and their staff may bid on their own account as allowable by platform and statute for any and all lots. Auctioneer determines successful bidder, may combine or divide lots or alter or adapt increments and or decide at their discretion if a lot may be reopened, reoffered or canceled and is the sole judge of disputed and or tie bidding whose record of sale is conclusive, which in a timed auction will be assumed but not guaranteed to match that of the online host record. At fall of hammer or pronouncement of sale or acceptance of postsale bid or offer, whichever comes first, liability for account settlement and item damage and or integrity and security passes including accompanying payment and performance requirements and or any disclosed and or unidentified liens, attachments, etc. to the buyer and buyer assumes all liability for said lot including insurance at that time.
Virtually always an adjustment consideration involves the immediate return of the item in identical condition and state of completeness at the cost and responsibility of the buyer. Any testing, cleaning, material sampling, destructive examination, cutting, unsealing, breaking open, dislodging or replacement without the prior expressed consent of RSES voids any and all Auctioneer Discretionary Guarantee consideration as does any title transfer attempt, resale offer, sale, syndication, publication, exhibition or third party involvement initiated by the buyer or any buyer affiliate, agent, customer or expert, etc. at any time.
It is understood this is a non departmental estate auction without the expectation of curation or retail services.
Payment is by auction platform autopay and due within 72 hours of invoice or the absence of an invoice at the close of the third business day following the auction by major credit card or wire transfer. If your credit card is on file with auction platform you will be charged after 72 hours, regardless of whether an invoice has been received.
No in-person payment for this event. Items must be paid before picked up whether in person or by a shipper or dropped off at a shipper by our staff.
Payment is for the item or items, not shipping. Delays in shipping, calculation costs, quotes or arrangements do not extend the three business day item payment deadline.
All payment service shipped purchases may be requirements to ship to the same registered address. By placing a bid buyer agrees to hold Richard Stedman Estate Services LLC, hereafter RSES, auctioneer and or seller, their owners, auctioneers, staff, management, subcontractors, consignors and all affiliated parties free from any current, subsequent or future liability or other legal or civil claims of any and all nature relating to purchases and transactions and dealings with RSES and that no liability shall be assumed by RSES in any future use, misuse, description, valuation, appraisal, exhibition, shipping, storage or other action or inaction involving said item by auctioneer, staff, bidder, buyer or any future owner. Delays or inabilities to obtain any license, permit, authentication, waiver, etc. or any or all above specified requirements from any organization, government or body shall not warrant sale cancellation or other noncompliance with Terms of Sale.
Additionally, for any item not paid in full after 3 business days, the sale may be canceled and the item released to RSES at RSES discretion to the disposition of RSES discretion. Should the item be resold by RSES or any affiliate or assignee at any future time, as permissible by law, RSES may, as permissible by law, assess a fee, future fee, client account debit, lien or future lien for all commissions and fees and buyer premiums and in house as well as subcontracted expenses for both the defaulted and future sale including fees and expenses involved in any sales where the lot is unsold prior to a future event where the item is sold. Non payment of a bid is monitored by our bidding platforms and may result in suspension or termination of bidding privileges throughout the platform with or without our involvement.
Should the buyer pursue a refund or credit after payment from their bank, auction payment platform, PayPal, a bidding platform or any other entity other than the auction house and be informed by that entity that they are not required to return the purchased item be advised that is a term of their refund from the crediting entity not the auction house. Not returning a credited item for any reason within 30 days may be a crime under Florida Statutes and or a civil violation of Florida Civil Theft Statues payable to the auction house with triple damages plus fees.
It is the buyers responsibility to retain and separately pay directly outside shippers. All items are shipped to the buyer address supplied to us by the buyer payment platform at buyer expense by buyer arrangement. For non payment platform approved addresses a wire transfer for both the purchase price and or for shipping costs may be required. Even though we designate specific shippers in communication that is only a recommendation not a requirement and all shipping is at the initiation and choice of the buyer with release to any shipper or other party constituting a completed delivery at that moment.

While average pick up or drop off times to outside shippers from time payment clears may be listed, often 4 to 10 business days for firms sourced via StedmanShipping Dot Com except for flat rate items, and we make every effort to accommodate all clients as quickly as possible, there is no guarantee of either pick up drop off time or of the outside shipper packing and or shipping time and drop off delays as well as any shipping, customs, government, health, security, etc. delays are not grounds for returns, refunds or adjustments.

Our outside shipping contractors are often franchisees of national firms that follow US Customs guidelines and are not allowed by their parent company guidelines to understate values, ship items as gifts, misrepresent descriptions, ship via carrier options that do not provide insurance for the purchase price of a particular item, pack in customer-requested manners outside their guidelines, ship without a tracking number or ship to countries where the importation of art and or antiques by common carrier is restricted or prohibited such as to, for two of many examples, often the Netherlands or Israel. Not responsible for any imposition of Russian or Enemy Nation or conflict area restrictions. Approval of a bid or bidder does not constitute acknowledgement that a lot will be able to be shipped in house or by an outside shipper to any specific location and the inability to receive an item under our, an outside shipper, a carrier or a country guideline does not exempt the buyer from the responsibility of paying for an item and abiding by all of the Terms and Conditions. If our outside shipping contractors can not ship a specific lot of a specific description of a specific size and specific insured value at an agreed upon amount the buyer may pay for the item by wire transfer and retain either one of our known outside shippers or an outside shipper of their choosing to ship to a representative in the Continental U.S. or elsewhere of the buyer designation however the purchase price is due within three business days per our Terms and Conditions and all shipping arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer.
Buyers of goods not liable for sales tax due to items being shipped out of county or state may be liable for use tax in their receiving county and or state, that, as with international duties, are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
Even though the auction house does not offer in house shipping, in the event that an item is delivered, held for delayed pick up or shipped by the auction house the buyer must pay for both their purchases and their auction house invoiced shipping within the three day payment deadline. Those who do not may be subject to a combined uninsured storage fee of 10 dollars plus 2 percent of the hammer price per item per month in addition to any transportation and or related possibly uninsured outside storage fees, all fees as a lien where applicable, with purchase requirements and disposition of items per Terms and Conditions remaining in effect.
