BIDDING/WINNING: The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt by J. Garrett Auctioneers in part as to the validity of any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the sale record of J. Garrett Auctioneers is conclusive. Internet bids come in simultaneously across multiple platforms within fractions of a second, and often the hammer falls before a bid can be acknowledged. Do not hesitate when bidding. The purchaser assumes full responsibility for items at the fall of the hammer or as acknowledged as sold by the auctioneer as inferred verbally, with online notification, or otherwise. We are not able to control your internet speed or quality and are not responsible for technical lags or delays.

RESERVES: Some lots may be offered with a reserve which is the minimum price below which the lot will not be sold. J. Garrett Auctioneers may act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the consignor. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing bids in response to other bidders or by placing consecutive bids.

OTHER: Auction buying is wholesale and not the same as retail store or retail internet buying. There are no returns based on condition (see above). Most auction items are antique or vintage, usually from estates, used, and are not in perfect condition. The items are sold as is, and we are acting as agents, not as principals. Accordingly, prospective buyers are entirely responsible for determining the physical condition of lots prior to and as a condition to bidding. Bidders are obligated to determine their level of interest in and value of the items based solely on their own review. To assist prospective bidders in this endeavor, we offer in person open-house preview days prior to the auction. We strive to be fair and forthright with our descriptions and condition reports, however bidders must acknowledge that antique items often show normal signs of use and wear. The absence of condition statements in a catalog entry does not mean that the item is in perfect condition or is without defects. Please understand that our duty is to present the items fairly for bidder consideration and that the duty of the bidder is to make independent investigation of the condition of items before bidding. J. Garrett Auctioneers reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time before the auction without liability or notice. The auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid not commensurate with the value of the property offered, or control the asking amount forward or backward. The auctioneer is not obligated to accept any bid at any time for any reason. WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AGE, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. If any applicable conditions herein are not complied with by the purchaser, in addition to other remedies available to it by law, including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the total purchase price, J. Garrett Auctioneers at its option may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser or (b) resell the property at public auction without reserve or minimum selling price, and the purchaser will be liable for any deficiency and costs, including handling charges, expenses of both sales, the commission on both sales at regular rates, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages.
