Standard Terms and Conditions

1. In addition to bidding over the online platform, absentee and phone bidding is available by contacting National Book Auctions directly either by email at mail@nationalbookauctions.com or calling 1-607-269-0101. Phone bids open at a minimum of $200.00.

2. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the buyer. The auctioneer has the right to reject any bid; to advance the bidding at his discretion; and, in the event of a dispute between two bidders, determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the auction, our sale record is conclusive.

3. As a convenience to its clients, National Book auctions will accept and execute absentee and online bids in competition with other absentee bids and bidding in the room. Every effort will be made to carry out the bidder's instructions, but National Book Auctions shall in no event be responsible for failing correctly to carry out instructions, and National Book Auctions reserves the right to decline to undertake such bids. The auctioneer will endeavor to establish chronological precedence among absentee and pre-auction bids but National Book Auctions can make no guarantee to correctly establish chronological precedence. By bidding in any form (absentee, online pre-bidding, etc.) prior to the lot being offered, the bidder fully understands that the bid offered will not become part of the bidding process until the lot is offered during the live auction (at the time when floor bidders are invited to bid on the lot). Tie bids will occur between such bids and/or live floor bidding and the auctioneer reserves full discretion in deciding order of acceptance of bids. Chronology does not in any way guarantee a bidder of precedence in bid acceptance; order of bid acceptance is determined by the auctioneer at the time of live bidding. Prospective absentee bidders should consult the bid increment scale to ensure their bids conform to our printed bidding increments.

4. National Book Auctions reserves the right to withdraw any property at any time before its actual final sale, including during the bidding. Catalog descriptions are subject to amendment by oral or written notices or announcements made by National Book Auctions prior to sale.

5. Some items offered may be subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold.

6. We have suggested high and low bid estimates for this lot, please bear in mind that these are merely statements of opinion, they are not in any way a basis for determining actual value.

7. During online bidding, National Book Auctions will not be liable for malfunctions, errors or omissions (hardware, software, electronic, human or otherwise), whether or not due to National Book Auctions' or its staff's fault or negligence, resulting in the inaccurate transmittal of bids, the failure to execute bids or any other irregularity. We sell approximately 70-100 lots per hour and as this is a live auction, we do not know the exact ending time for any lots.

8. All lots are available for inspection prior to the sale at National Book Auctions gallery in Ithaca, New York. Please note the viewing schedule. Our staff will attempt to answer questions and give advice, but the final decision to bid, and the amount to bid, is at bidder's discretion and liability.

9. We endeavor to provide as much information as we can for each lot we offer and earnestly strive to provide a fair, objective sense of the quality and condition of each item. Our listings always include one or more images of the actual item to assist bidders in their assessment process. Further, we offer a full refund guarantee that our descriptions are accurate. Any time we have made a false statement in a listing, the bidder is invited to return the item for a full refund, with our apologies. We cannot and do not claim that our descriptions are complete, as that standard would be a matter of subjective definition. Any details or criteria beyond what we have provided are the responsibility of the buyer to estimate or establish. Our staff are eager to answer any questions prior to auction and we strongly encourage all bidders to preview items in person before bidding. In sum, we guarantee the reasonable accuracy of our descriptions; beyond those details we provide, items are sold "as-is" with full understanding by the bidder that they assume complete responsibility for all aspects of condition and content which are not explicitly described in our listings.

10. Successful bidders assume full responsibility, including insurance, for items at the fall of the hammer.

11. In the unlikely event that we lose our internet connection during the auction, National Book Auctions reserves the right at its sole and absolute discretion to cancel the remainder of the auction.

12. No lot will be released to the buyer until payment in full has been made to National Book Auctions, including the buyer's premium and any applicable taxes, and the buyer has satisfied all bidder terms stated at time of bidding.

13. All transactions will be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of New York and the Federal courts sitting in the State of New York.

14. Bidding increments do not include buyers premium, sales tax, insurance and/or shipping.

15. If we do not receive payment arrangements within ten days of the auction close, we reserve the right to bill the credit card placed on file when you registered for our auction.
