Terms of Sale
1. All items are sold as is, where is, with
all faults. There are no warranties or
representations of merchantability, of fitness,
nor of any other kind, express or implied.
All items are available for your examination
prior to bidding. Your bidding will signify
that you have examined the items as fully
as you desire, or that you have chosen
not to examine them. Written and oral
descriptions are our opinions and should
in no way be construed as a guarantee of
any kind as to age, condition, materials or
any other feature of items being sold. Our
goal is to provide prospective bidders with
accurate and detailed information. We
recommend prospective bidders examine
all items in which they have an interest. If
you require absolute certainty in all areas
of authenticity, and the results of your
evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind,
we recommend you not bid on the item
in question. We do not give refunds. All
sales are final. No statement written or oral
made by the auctioneer shall be deemed a
warranty or assumption of liability by Brunk
Auctions or by any seller represented by
Brunk Auctions.
2. If a lot is offered with a reserve price,
the reserve price is printed following the
description and bidding will begin at that
price. Otherwise bidding will begin at a
price appropriate in auctioneer’s discretion.
The auctioneer always reserves the right
to withdraw a lot for any reason he deems
appropriate. At the auctioneer's discretion,
no bid of less than one half the low estimate
will be accepted from any source: phone
bidding, absentee bidding, internet bidding,
or bidding in the gallery. On lots with a
printed reserve, bidding will begin at the
reserve price.
3. Once we declare that an item is sold, we
cannot reopen the bidding. It is the bidder’s
responsibility to get our attention prior to
our saying “sold”. We reserve the right to
reject any bids deemed inappropriate or to
withdraw any item(s) for lack of appropriate
bids. If an item is withdrawn from the
auction it will be offered again only at the
auctioneer’s discretion.
4. Payment must be made by cash, approved
check, wire transfer, or MasterCard and Visa
credit cards. We reserve the right to require
bank checks for large purchases. Buyers not
known to us who wish to write a check must
provide a current letter of credit from their
bank guaranteeing funds for that account.
Credit arrangements must be made by the
Friday prior to the day of auction so bank
statements can be verified. We reserve the
right to not issue a buyer’s number or to
withhold merchandise if appropriate credit
has not been established. We require wire
transfers, bank checks or credit cards for
international buyers.
5. Payment for all purchases is expected at time
of purchase. Payment for successful absentee,
phone bids and online bids are required
within five business days of the auction. Your
signature on this form constitutes permission
to charge successful bids to credit cards if
payment is not received within five days of
the auction.
6. We are pleased to offer absentee and
phone bidding for prospective bidders
who cannot be present at the auction.
Please complete the Absentee Bid and/or
Phone Reservation form. Absentee bids are
executed competitively and confidentially.
All reservations for phone bidding are
held in the strictest confidence and must
be received by 5 pm the day before the
auction. No additional phone bids can
be accepted on the day of the auction
including additions when speaking with a
staff person on the phone. We can accept
written absentee bids submitted on the
Absentee Bid Form up to 30 lots before
the item comes up for auction. Leaving an
absentee or phone bid on a lot indicates your
willingness to open the bidding at one half the
printed low estimate, and gives the auctioneer
the authority to open the bidding at that level,
or to open the bidding on a lot with a printed
reserve at the reserve price. Brunk Auctions
shall 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.
7. In the case of identical absentee bids, the
bid received first will prevail. Bids left on
liveauctioneers.com are not executed until
the item is offered in the live auction
and the order in which they are received
is not a factor. We sell 70-100 lots
per hour. Following are general guidelines
for bidding increments:
$0-$100..............................$25 increments
$100-1,000.........................$50 increments
$1,000-3,000....................$100 increments
$3,000-10,000.... $200 or $500 increments
$10,000-$50,000................$1,000, $2,000 or $5,000 increments
above $50,000...........auctioneers discretion
8. In our experience, cellular phones are not
always dependable, and we recommend
phone bidding reservations be made on
land lines. Telephone bidding is offered
only to clients outside the 828 area code.
We make every effort to honor all absentee
and phone bid reservations, but we are not
liable for any losses incurred as a result of
failure to execute absentee bids or failed
phone reservations. Submitting absentee
bids or bidding by phone does not imply
an extension of credit. Please see numbers
4 and 5 above.
9. Purchaser agrees that packing and shipping
is done at the purchaser’s risk and that the
purchaser will pay in advance all packing
expenses, materials, carrier fees and
insurance charges. At our discretion, items
will either be packed by an agent such
as a packaging store or Brunk Auctions.
Please allow two weeks for shipping after
payment is received. Shipment of large
items is the responsibility of the purchaser.
We are happy to provide names of carriers
and shippers if a purchaser so requests.
Brunk Auctions will have no liability for
any loss or damage to shipped items.
10.Note to internet absentee bidders. We do
not accept cut bids, (bids less than the last
interval) from the floor or from phone
bidders, and we do not accept them from
internet bidders. Thus it is possible that a
lot could go to another bidder for less than
your absentee bid. For example, if the bids
are progressing in ten dollar increments,
$50, $60, $70 and your absentee falls
at $75, we will not take the bid since it
is less than the $10 interval. We always
encourage bidders to bid by phone or to
leave absentee bids through our gallery to
avoid such a situation.
11.All purchases are subject to 6.75% North
Carolina sales tax unless the North Carolina
Certificate of Resale tax form is fully and
completely filled out and received prior to
time of purchase. Resale tax numbers from
other states are accepted. International
buyers are responsible for tariffs, taxes, or
assessments of shipped items to the buyer’s
country.
12.Bidding on an item indicates your
understanding and acceptance of these
Terms of Sale. If a purchaser breaches
any of these Terms of Sale, including the
obligation to pay for purchased items,
Brunk Auctions may seek all remedies
under the law including canceling the
sale and reoffering the property without
reserve.
13.A buyer’s premium of 20% will be applied
to the purchase price of all items. For
purchases made by cash, check or wire
transfer, the buyer’s pemium shall be
discounted 2%.
14.Purchased items not picked up from our
auction facility within ten business days
of the auction will be assessed a storage
fee of $5.00 per day, per item. You
authorize us to re-sell on your behalf any
item not picked up within sixty calendar
days. The costs of storage, plus any other
costs directly related to the item, and an
auctioneer’s commission of 17 %, will be
subtracted from the proceeds unless other
arrangements have been made with Brunk
Auctions. The minimum charge will be
$50. The net proceeds will be mailed to
your address as stated herein in full and
final settlement of our obligations to you.
15.We are normally closed on Fridays the
week following auctions. Please arrange
appointments for other days.
16.Please note that lots containing ivory,
tortoiseshell, or other animal materials may
be subject to regulations imposed by the
Endangered Species Act and by the United
States Fish and Wildlife Department.
Some countries prohibit the importation
of property containing materials from
endangered species, and prospective
purchasers should familiarize themselves
with relevant customs regulations prior to
bidding if they intend to import these lots
into another country.
