The auctioneers have endeavored to correctly catalog and describe the property being sold, but all property is sold “as is”. The auctioneers reserve the right to make verbal corrections and provide additional information from the block at the time of sale. 2. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the auctioneers shall have absolute discretion as to who was the successful bidder or he may re-offer the disputed item for sale, if he so wishes. 3. Mail or internet bidders must pay in full within 20 days of the auction sale date. There is a 17 % Buyer’s Premium. American Express, Visa, Mastercard or Discover are acceptable as payment. 4. All sales are final. Internet bid refunds will be at the discretion of the auctioneers. Refunds will not be given because of the condition of the original box. In the case of a refund due because of damage during shipping, the buyer will be refunded only when the auctioneers have been reimbursed by the professional shipping company. 5. Bills will be e-mailed to Internet participants on the Monday after the auction date. Along with the price including buyer's premium of all lots purchased, there will be an estimate for shipping. There will be a $5 per-container handling fee included in the shipping charge. We use the US postal service website to get accurate international shipping costs. 6. Bidding on any item indicates your acceptance of these conditions. LLOYD RALSTON GALLERY, Inc. guarantees the toys they sell, but cannot be responsible for interior repairs not visible without taking the toy apart or exact replacement parts created by contemporary craftsmen who are doing expert undetectable restorations. It must be understood that we cannot be responsible for minor age defects or hidden conditions. They will be sold in an “as is” condition. Locomotives are sold as untested and are not guaranteed to run. Original boxes were used to protect the items inside, so they are usually worn. The original box is not included in the grading of the toy. An original box described as “rough” should be considered as in very poor & distressed condition and may or may not be complete. It must be understood that toys were played with by children. Consequently, when a toy is graded C1, it has more flaws, such as rust, dents, worn tires, etc., than toys graded C6. However, the toys graded C6 also might have these flaws, but to a lesser degree. We do not grade a toy based on its rarity.
