Our Best Box Store Auction to date! Some really nice items.

Payment may be made by Cash, Check, Visa, M/C, Amex or Discover. There is a 12% buyer premium. A 3% surcharge will be added to all invoices paying by credit or debit card.

Payment and pickup is on the specified date and times. Anyone who does not observe the payment and pickup times will immediately have their credit card billed. Additionally, if the auction is at a location other than our Bainbridge Facility, items won will be moved (at our discretion) and charges commensurate with time and labor for our staff to move the item(s) to Bainbridge will be added to the credit card. These fees are listed below. Any invoiced items totaling over $50 and not picked up within 30 days after any auction will be resold at 20% commission.

We realize that sometimes there are extenuating circumstances and a simple phone call to our office may avoid these harsh terms. Grossly negligent offenders however, will be banned from all our future auctions.

Bidder Terms and Conditions 
These Bidder Terms and Conditions apply to auctions conducted by Lambrecht Auction, Incorporated ("LAI"), and constitute a legal, valid, binding, and enforceable contract between LAI and each Bidder.  These bidder terms and conditions also form the basis for the contract of sale between the Seller and the Buyer.  For the purposes of these Bidder Terms and Conditions, the term "YOU" refers to each Bidder (as defined below).

1.     Bidder Terms and Conditions; Posted Terms; Announcements at the Time of the Auction; Agreement to Be Bound.  The Auction is conducted under and in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions and any and all other terms and conditions posted on the LAI website(s) and on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by LAI.  The Auction is subject to any announcements or corrections by LAI.  By participating in the Auction in any way, YOU agree to be bound by, and to abide by, these Bidder Terms and Conditions. 

2.     Responsibility for Online Bids.  YOU are responsible for all bids transmitted from YOUR computer or from YOUR Bidder Account.  If a Winning Bid is sent from YOUR computer or using YOUR Bidder Account, YOU will be the Buyer on certification by LAI and YOU will be bound by the terms of the contract you have entered into with LAI and the Seller.

3.     Bidder Registration; Bidder Qualification.  YOU must register to bid. LAI may establish such Bidder Registration requirements and Bidder qualifications as LAI determines, in its discretion, to be reasonably necessary or appropriate.  In order to register to bid, YOU must provide such information (including identifying information and qualifications) as requested by LAI.  LAI may refuse to accept a Bidder Registration from any potential Bidder, may refuse to grant bidding privileges to any potential Bidder, and may revoke the Bidder Registration or bidding privileges of any Bidder.  BY REGISTERING TO BID, YOU REPRESENT TO LAI THAT, IF YOU ARE A NATURAL PERSON, YOU ARE AT LEAST EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OF AGE AND THAT YOU ARE OTHERWISE LEGALLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT.  EACH ENTITY REGISTERING TO BID REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS THE POWER AND AUTHORITY TO REGISTER, TO BID, AND TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE TRANSACTION IF IT IS THE WINNING BIDDER.  YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have read, understand, and agree to be bound by, these Bidder Terms and Conditions, any and all other terms and conditions posted on the LAI website(s), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by LAI.  LAI may, in its absolute discretion, receive bids from a person or entity that has not registered to bid, and/or who has not satisfied all requirements for Bidder Registration, and/or that has not previously been granted bidding privileges, and, by bidding, such person or entity will be bound by these Bidder Terms and Conditions, any and all other terms and conditions posted on the LAI website(s), and the terms and conditions posted on the websites of any Online Auction Platform Provider(s) used by LAI.  Bidder qualification provisions are intended for the benefit of LAI and its Seller(s), and create no rights or interests in any other persons, including competing Bidders.  LAI and/or its Seller(s) may (but will not be required to) waive any Bidder qualifications, either globally or on a case by case basis.

4.     Auction Conducted in the State of New York.  The Auction is conducted in the State of New York.  All Lots are offered for sale in the State of New York, and will be Sold in the State of New York.  Notwithstanding the physical location of any Bidder, these Bidder Terms and Conditions are entered into in the State of New York, all bids and payments are due, and will be received, in the State of New York, and all contracts between Seller(s) and Buyer(s) are formed and entered into in the State of New York.

5.     Buyer's Premium.  A Buyer's Premium, or Buyer's fee, will be charged on all Lots.  The Buyer's Premium, which will be paid by the Buyer to LAI for its own account, will be calculated as a percentage of the Hammer Price for each Lot, and will be added to the Hammer Price to determine the final Purchase Price.  The Buyer's Premium will be twelve percent (12%) of the Hammer Price for each Lot, and is earned by (and may be retained by) LAI with the Fall of the Hammer.

6.     Access to Online Auction Platform; Premises.  YOU assume all risks associated with YOUR access to the Auction, including the Online Auction Platform, the premises of LAI, and any other physical location associated with LAI or the Auction.  Any person may be denied access to the Auction, the Online Auction Platform, and the premises of LAI or any other physical location associated with LAI or the Auction.

7.     Nature of the Auction.  Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, the Auction will be With Reserve.  LAI may Withdraw any Lot prior to the Fall of the Hammer on such Lot.

8.     No Bid Retraction.  YOU may not retract a bid that has been acknowledged by LAI or that has been submitted online.  YOU acknowledge and agree that LAI is acting in reliance on tendered bids in the conduct of the Auction, and that bid retraction is disruptive and interferes with the Auction, and that, as an inducement for LAI to accept YOUR Registration and to grant YOU bidding privileges, and for YOU to bid at the Auction, YOU agree not to withdraw or to attempt to withdraw any bid tendered by YOU.

9.     Posted Times.  All times are based on the Eastern Standard Time Zone ("EST").  Posted closing times and time displays are approximate.  LAI reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to close early or extend the Auction.

10.  Handling of Online Bids; Maximum Bid Amounts.  YOU may establish a maximum bid amount.  Online Bids will ordinarily be initiated at an established opening bid amount or at the next bid increment, which amount may be less than YOUR maximum bid amount.  Online bids will automatically be executed competitively up to the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding. 

11.  Relationship of the Parties. LAI is the agent of the Seller(s), and represents the Seller(s) exclusively.  LAI is not YOUR agent or representative, and is not acting on YOUR behalf. The receipt and execution of online bids will not create an agency relationship between LAI and YOU.

12.  Bidding Increments. LAI may establish bid increments, and may modify or change bid increments in its sole and absolute discretion, including during the Auction and after bids have been received on a Lot.

13.  Records.  Absent clerical errors made by LAI, as determined by LAI, the records of LAI will be final and conclusive for all purposes.

14.  Technology Disruptions. LAI will not be responsible for technology disruptions, errors, or failures (including disruptions to bidding or the failure to execute, recognize, or record online bids), whether caused by (i) loss of connectivity, breakdown, disruption, failure of the Online Auction Platform, or otherwise (ii) breakdown, disruption, or failure of YOUR internet connection, computer, or system, or (iii) for any other reason.  LAI may, but will not be required to, continue, suspend, delay, extend, reschedule, or close the Auction because of disruptions caused by technology failures, even after bidding has commenced.

15.  Failures by Online Auction Platform Provider and its Affiliates or Contractors.  Under no circumstances will LAI be liable for any failure of an Online Auction Platform Provider to perform all or any of its obligations, or for the failure of any affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors of an Online Auction Platform Provider to perform their obligations. 

16.  Auto-Extend Feature.  Any Online Bidding Period may include an auto-extend feature.  This means that, if an online bid is entered within two (2) minutes of the scheduled closing of the established Online Bidding Period, the Online Bidding Period will automatically be reset to two (2)  minutes, and will continue to be so extended until there is a set period of time that lapses during which no advancing online bids are received, after that bidding will close.

17.  Disclaimer Regarding Online Auction Platform(s).LAI makes no representations or warranties, and disclaims all representations and warranties, (i) that any Online Auction Platform(s) or any related website(s) or technology will be uninterrupted, error free or virus free, (ii) as to the results that may be obtained by using any Online Auction Platform(s) or any related website(s) or technology, or (iii) as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, or current nature of any Online Auction Platform(s), or any related website(s) or technology.

18.  Winning Bidders Subject to Final Certification by LAI.  The final determination of the Winning Bidder is subject to certification by LAI, and any email or electronic message (whether generated manually or automatically) is subject to such certification.

19.  Winning Bid; Buyer.  Pursuant to these Bidder Terms and Conditions, the Bidder making the Winning Bid for any Lot, will be the Buyer of the Lot on final certification by LAI.

20.  Title.  If YOU are certified as the Winning Bidder on a Lot by LAI, YOU will be contractually obligated to pay the Purchase Price for that Lot. FAILURE OR REFUSAL TO PICK UP YOUR LOT DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU OF YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY THE PURCHASE PRICE. Title and ownership of the Lot will pass to YOU when payment is made and clears.

21.  Payment; Buyer Obligation to Pay; Non-Payment. All Lots must be paid for in full within five (5) days after the close of the Auction by cash, check, credit card, certified funds, or by wire transfer; provided, however, that any online purchases in excess of ten thousand Dollars ($10,000) must be paid by certified funds or wire transfer unless other arrangements acceptable to LAI are made.  If LAI has agreed to ship purchases, then shipping will occur only after payment has been received.  In the event the Winning Bidder does not contact or respond to LAI within two (2) days of the Auction to make arrangements for payment and pickup of their Lot, LAI reserves the right (but is not obligated), in addition to all other remedies available, to rescind the Winning Bid and offer the Lot to the second highest Bidder at its High Bid. In such case, the original Winning Bidder's credit card will automatically be charged the difference between the two bids and the full amount of the Buyer's Premium that would have been collected from the original High Bid. If payment is not received from the credit card for any reason, the original Winning Bidder will still be liable to LAI for the charged amounts. Among the other remedies available to LAI, any Lots that remain unpaid for after expiration of the aforementioned 2-day period may be resold by LAI and LAI may keep all the proceeds therefrom.

22.  All Property Sold "AS IS", "where is", and "with all faults".  Except where expressly provided otherwise at the auction or on the website with respect to a particular Lot, all property is being offered and sold in its "as is/where is" condition at the time of the auction, with all faults, including any hidden defects of any nature.  Neither LAI nor any Seller makes any representations, warranties, or guarantees whatsoever, express or implied, regarding the nature, value, source, authenticity, fitness, merchantability, and/or any other aspect or characteristics of such property.  No statement anywhere, whether express or implied, including verbal statements made by LAI, will be deemed a warranty or representation by LAI or any Seller.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there are no warranties of title, non-infringement, authenticity, origin, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose, all of which are expressly disclaimed.  YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU cannot rely on, and YOU have not relied on, any representation, warranty, or guaranty made by any Seller or anyone acting as agent of a Seller (including LAI), orally or in writing, about any lot.  YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to inspect all lots, and that YOU are relying solely on, or have waived, YOUR inspection and investigation (i) in determining whether to bid, (ii) in determining the amount of YOUR bid(s), and (iii) in bidding.  It is YOUR responsibility to determine condition, age, genuineness, value, or any other determinative factors regarding any lot on which YOU bid. 

23.  Bidder's Inspection; Adequacy of Description and Images. When available, YOU are encouraged to inspect the Lot(s), or to have the Lot(s) inspected by YOUR agent or representative before bidding.  By bidding, YOU acknowledge and agree that YOU have had a full and fair opportunity to inspect the Lot(s), and that YOU are relying solely on YOUR inspection and investigation, or that YOU have waived inspection and investigation, and that YOU have not relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or guaranty made by any Seller or anyone acting as agent or representative of a Seller (including LAI), and any photographs or other images of Lot(s) are adequate for YOUR purposes.

24.  Description of Property.  Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, any description of a Lot is based solely on visual impression, and is given solely for identification purposes, and does not create any warranty, expressed or implied, or representation by LAI.

25.  Announcements.  Announcements made through any platform, including email, text, social media or phone announcements, by LAI on the day of, or during, the Auction are binding and take precedence over any prior advertisements or listings.

26.  Bidding by or on Behalf of Seller(s).  Seller(s) may bid directly, or indirectly, on any Lot, and LAI may place bids on a Seller's behalf up to the Reserve Price, if any.

27.  Conduct of the Auction. LAI will regulate all matters relating to the conduct of the Auction and the decisions of LAI will be final and binding.  LAI will have control over bidding, and LAI will resolve any and all disputes. LAI may, in its sole and absolute discretion, amend a bid amount which was placed in error. LAI may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reopen the bidding (but will not be required to) if (i) a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a prior bid or while bidding is otherwise being terminated, or (ii) promptly after the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding LAI is made aware of a bid that was tendered, but went unnoticed, prior to the Fall of the Hammer or other termination of the bidding, or (iii) a technology disruption or failure caused a bid that was tendered, or attempted to be tendered, prior to the hammer from being received or recognized, or (iv) some other bid dispute arises.  Any contracts formed with the Fall of the Hammer will be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section.  If bidding is reopened pursuant to this Section, the High Bid recognized by LAI prior to the reopening of the bidding will be held, and may not be retracted, and, if no further bids are received, such bid will be the Winning Bid.

28.  Contract of Sale for Personal Property.  No additional or further writing will be required to evidence the existence of a contract of sale for any Lot Sold at the Auction regardless of the Purchase Price, and these Bidder Terms and Conditions, together with the records of LAI identifying the Lot, the Purchase Price, and the Buyer, will be conclusive evidence as to the terms of the sale.  These Bidder Terms and Conditions will be incorporated into and made a part of each contract between a Buyer and a Seller.

Shipping: Generally, we are in the auction business, not the shipping business. Our auctions are designed for customer pick-up.  If you would like us to ship an item, you need to understand that we don’t get the high-volume rates the big online retailers do. Shipping can be expensive, as some items are bigger and heavier than they appear in the photos. Also, appropriate handling charges will apply. Please inquire on shipping BEFORE you purchase. In addition, the buyer must provide us with a shipping label after obtaining the necessary information from our office. We strongly recommend insurance. We make a diligent effort to pack items in a responsible manner, but it is unreal what these shipping companies can break. We will not be liable for shipping damage.
