Auction Terms & Conditions * All items sold "AS IS, WHERE IS" with all faults.
* All descriptions believed accurate but not warranteed.
* Bidder inspection is encouraged.
* By placing a bid, bidder signifies that they have examined the items to their satisfaction, or that they have chosen not to personally examine them.
* In the event of tie bids between an online bidder and a floor bidder, the tie will go to the floor bidder. Tied online bids will be assigned a winner by the auctioneer. We do our best to rotate winning tie bids through our online bidding platforms.
* We reserve the right to reject any bid at our sole discretion.
* Our in-house buyer premium is 15%. This applies to bids placed in person, absentee or by phone. Our online buyer premium is 20%. This applies to bids placed through our website/app, Live Auctioneers, and Invaluable/AuctionZip. Online bidders can save 2% by using Bidsquare for online bidding, which has a buyer premium of only 18%.
*Absentee and phone bids are accepted for bidders who pre-register with us directly and provide payment information. The absentee bid form available on our website must be submitted by 5 PM the day prior to auction day. The minimum bid for phone bids for online sales is $100, or the starting bid, whichever is greater, and is $50 for discovery sales.
* The Florida Department of Revenue does not accept out of state resale certificates. If the buyer takes delivery of the item in Florida, either in person or via mail, and does not have a valid FL resale certificate, applicable sales tax of 7% must be collected. Out of state dealers may produce a signed affidavit certifying that items are for resale, and then sales tax can be removed.
* We are in full compliance with laws regarding the sale of firearms. Firearms manufactured prior to 1899 do not require shipment to an FFL. Firearms that do require shipment to an FFL are noted in our catalogs and will only be shipped to an FFL. Local transactions are completed through an FFL with whom we have made arrangements, and non-local buyers can provide us with the FFL information of their choosing.

*Invoices over $2,000 for USA buyers may require payment via cashiers check or bank wire transfer at our discretion. All international transactions over $500 must be completed via bank wire transfer.
