Autumn 2003 Toy and Train Auction

1. A buyer’s premium of 17.5% added to the purchase price of any item(s) you are successful with. This is to help defray the cost to provide this service. We have already had an overwhelming positive response from individuals who feel it is much more convenient than hotel stays and traveling great distances. We hope that you find this service well worth it too. The buyers premium is 10% for those people attending and making purchases in person at the auction in Williamsport, IN.
2. Stout Auctions has made every effort to accurately describe all items being sold, but all property offered for sale is offered "as is" and it is the bidder’s responsibility to determine the exact condition of each item. No statement in this catalog, bill of sale or invoice shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation, or assumption of liability with respect to age, condition, size, quality, variety, importance, provenance, or historical relevance of any of these items. Any such statements are strictly matters of opinion.
3. The Auctioneer reserves the right to make any changes to the terms of the sale and to the catalog.
4. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the Auctioneer’s "hammer". The purchaser shall assume full risk and responsibility of the lot purchased once title has passed.
5. Payment terms: Ebay does not provide Stout Auctions with the personal or payment information that you have already provided to them. If you are a successful bidder, please email your name, UPS shipping address (no P.O. boxes), phone number and method of payment to sales@stoutauctions.com so that we may process your invoice. Payment may be made by cash, cashiers check (or other guaranteed funds), money order, personal check, and Bidpay. We do NOT accept Paypal.
6. All absentee shipments are shipped by UPS within US borders. Orders outside the US are shipped by the US Postal Service.

8. Absentee Bids: As a service to our customers who cannot attend the sale in person, Stout Auctions will execute absentee bids if so authorized by mail, fax or online bids from our website. All lots purchased for absentee bidders will be done so at the lowest possible price regardless of the amount of the maximum bid amount (competitive bidding). We cannot execute "buy" bids. In the event of tie bids between online bidders and those present at the auction, preference will be given to the attending bidder. In the event of identical bids from online bidders, preference will be given to the first received.
9. The Auctioneer will be the final judge as to which bidder is the highest bidder. In the event of any dispute in this matter, the auctioneer shall at his discretion decide to reopen the bidding or not.
