Terms:
Terms and Conditions of Catalogue Auctions By registering for this auction you agree to the terms and conditions as stated below.
Conditions: Chandler's Auctions and Estate Sales strives to accurately describe the items being sold, but all property offered for sale is strictly AS-IS WHERE-IS with all faults. All sales are final, and no refunds are given. The sales records and recordings shall be conclusive. It is the responsibility of the bidder to determine the exact condition and authenticity of each item. No statement in this catalogue or by representatives of C.A.E.S. shall be considered as a warranty or assumption of liability. Oral and written descriptions given by C.A.E.S. staff members in person or electronically are given as a courtesy to a client, are only an opinion, and should not be considered as a guarantee of age, composition, or authenticity. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear or imperfections. A good condition report considers age and use of item with appropriate wear. By bidding, you signify that you have either closely examined the items, have chosen not to examine them, or have hired an independent agent to examine the item(s) for you. Condition reports are available via the online catalog or by contacting Chandler's Auctions using 336-416-3803 or info@chandlersauction.com
Auctioneer: Chandler Eshleman, NCAL#9849. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw a lot for any reason he deems appropriate, including any lots that may have a reserve, or if there is a lack of bidding interest or lack of appropriate bids. C.A.E.S. shall always have the right to withdraw any item at any time for any reason and to default any sale in the event of an error or dispute.
Terms: Sales are subject to the following terms and conditions of sale:
Bidding is available by live in-house bidding, live internet bidding, absentee, and telephone. There is an 18% buyer’s premium for live bidding in-house during the auction (3% discount for bidders when paying cash or check and bidding live at auction on site), and live internet bidding is available on live platforms with a 23% buyer’s premium. There is no discount offered for Internet bidding. Fees charged by Internet platforms are the bidder's responsibility.
Payment is due at the end of the auction by cash, certified funds, wire transfer, or approved check. Visa and MasterCard are available for purchases under $1000 and for bidders paying through Live Auctioneers payment service.
Invoices greater than $1000 require certified funds, check, or wire transfer. Live Auctioneer bidders are invoiced through the Live Auctioneer platform and there is a fee for the LA payment system. Bidders paying Chandler's directly by check, wire, or certified funds deduct the LA fee. North Carolina sales tax is applicable. Based on location and type of auction additional taxes may be due or exempt.
Online Bids: Live internet bidding is available during the auction. Current bids on the internet will be executed on your behalf during the auction by www.LiveAuctioneers.com, Hibid.com, or other viable Internet platforms. However, C.A.E.S. cannot be held liable for live internet bids that are not sent, received, or executed by the administrator. If you are bidding live, real-time on-line, please bid quickly because there is a time delay in receiving live bids. Multiple on-line platforms are active, so high bid on one site does not guarantee high bid on any lot as the bids are taken as presented through platforms. To ensure you are the high bidder, bid in person or by phone. In the event of a clerking error during auction, bidders may be notified by e-mail or messaging during auction if possible, however no lot awarded to high bidders until invoicing is complete following the auction. Winning bidders are notified by invoices following the auction.

Any changes must be made by speaking directly to a representative at the gallery by phone. All bids must be secured with a valid credit card number (Visa/MC). All absentee bids will be executed in a fair, competitive and confidential manner. While every effort is made to execute and honor absentee and phone bids, C.A.E.S is not responsible for failure to execute a bid and is not liable for any losses incurred as a result of failure to execute absentee bids or failed phone reservations. In case of identical bids, the first bid received will take precedence. Where appropriate, written bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the auctioneers bidding increments.
NOTE: It is the bidder’s responsibility to accurately record Lot Number and Bid Amount or Telephone number on any Absentee or On-Line bid form. C.A.E.S. assumes no responsibility or liability in the event a bidder fails to do so. Leaving an absentee or telephone bid indicates the bidder is willing to open the bid at one half the low estimate of the lot. Bids cannot be submitted, altered, or cancelled via voicemail. All phone and absentee bids handled by staff in person are executed with an 21% buyer's premium with discounts of 3% for cash, wire transfer, check, or certified funds payment.
