INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1. INTRODUCTION. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our auctions. We will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand. 2. AGENCY. As auctioneers, Scott Daniels Auction usually contracts as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly, if you buy, your primary contract is with the seller. 3. ESTIMATES. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer's Premium. Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive. 4. BUYER'S PREMIUM. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer's premium at 20% on the hammer price of each lot purchased. 6. Scott Daniels Auction is, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them, we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor Scott Daniels Auction Auction Service, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances, lots wrongly described because they are 'deliberate forgeries' may be returned and repayment made. There is a three week time limit. (The expression 'deliberate forgery' is defined in our Conditions of Sale.) 7. ELECTRICAL GOODS. These are sold as 'antiques' only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. 8. EXPORT OF GOODS. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export license is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. 9. BIDDING. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding. 10. COMMISSION BIDDING. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers' premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone, or email. 11. METHODS OF PAYMENT. As a general rule any checks tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Accounts Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged. ScottDanielsAuction accepts Cash, Checks, and Electronic Fund Transfers. 12. COLLECTION AND STORAGE. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges. 13. ScottDanielsAuction Auction usually auctions items at approximately 30 lots per hour. On some occasions, auction software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid online as insurance to avoid disappointment. By bidding via on-line, you agree that Scott Daniels Auction may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since internet bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the internet bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie internet bids. Also please note that lots for this auction, purchased through the internet carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Scott Daniels Auction Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Scott Daniels Auction Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.

We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer's premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.
