Forsythes' Arts & Crafts Auction

REGISTRATION All bidders must register their name, permanent street address, and phone number prior to the auction. All registrants are required to present identification. Bidders unknown to us will be required to present a valid Visa, Mastercard or credit card. TERMS OF SALE The auctioneer determines the highest bidder, however, if any dispute arises to any bidding, or between two or more bidders, the lot so disputed shall be immediately put up again at the undisputed bid and resold. The auctioneer may reject any bids if, in his judgment, such a bid shall be likely to affect the sale injuriously. BUYER'S PREMIUM A premium of 15% to online bidders will be applied to all property sold, to be paid by purchaser as part of the purchase price. RESERVES All lots offered are WITHOUT RESERVE. PAYMENT Payment may be made with check, travler's check, or personal check. Payment may also be made with Visa or Mastercard. All purchases are subject to a 7% Ohio and Butler County sales tax unless the buyer has proof of exemption. Within 72 hours after the close of the auction, all successful absentee and telephone bidders will be notified by Forsythes' Auctions. Successful bidders are expected to pay for their purchases immediately. If payment is not received within 10 days after being contacted by Forsythes' Auctions, absentee bidders authorize Forsythes' Auctions to charge their purchases to their credit card left on file with the absentee bid. OUR GUARANTEE We guarantee the authenticity of every item we sell, regardless of medium. Furniture retains the original hardware and wood unless otherwise noted. Finishes are carefully described, as are the markings. The wood is oak, unless otherwise noted. The dimensions are approximate. The furniture is old, and over the years, has undoubtedly acquired a few assorted flaws. We will only mention those that we feel are objectionable. When we use the term "attribution", it means we believe it to be made by the maker by whom we attribute it. We do not guarantee it to be so, it's purely our opinion. The majority of this furniture is ready to be put in your home or shop. While condition reports for most items are stated in the descriptions, prospective bidders are urged to contact Forsythes' Auctions directly for detailed information regarding any lot. LIMITED WARRANTY All items are sold "as is," and neither Forsythes' Auctions, Dave Forsythe nor Frank Forsythe makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor be deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an assumption of liability. ABSENTEE AND PHONE BIDDING Absentee and telephone bidding is offered as a service to our customers, and prospective bidders shall not hold the auctioneer or his staff responsible for any errors or failures in executing bids. Absentee bids are accepted via mail, phone, FAX or email. Absentee bidders unknown to us may be required to submit a bank letter of credit prior to the auction, or using a credit card, deposit with Forsythes' a fee equaling 30% of their absentee bid. The issuance of a credit card number is to serve as a deposit on bids and guarantee payment for any successful bids. All absentee bids are executed competitively by a member of the auction staff. We will bid up to the amount you have left only if necessary. In the event of a tie bid between a floor and absentee bidder, the floor bid will be honored. Bidding "live" via the telephone is available on a first come, first served basis. We strongly advise you to also leave an absentee insurance bid for the lots you wish to be called on. This insures that if we cannot contact you, your insurance bid will be executed as an absentee bid. SHIPPING As a convenience to the purchasers, we will, if requested, have items packed and ship, or arrange shipment, for you almost anywhere in the United Stated, fully insured, for a fee. Shipment generally occurs within one week after payment has been received. Payment with a money order or bank draft expedites this process. Unless absolutely necessary, we will not ship to a P.O. Box. For this reason, please provide a street address for our shipper. It will expedite your receipt of your purchase. Forsythes' Auctions may be able to deliver for a fee. If you have a shipping preference for any reason, please make sure your shipper carries insurance. We are not responsible for any damage or loss that occurs while your items are in another's care. Storage is available for up to 30 days. SHIPPING CHARGES Successful bidders are required to pay for all shipping, packing, insurance and handling charges. Your purchases are valuable, sometimes irreplaceable, and important. We cannot, and will not, skimp on making certain they reach you safely. You should be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial.

All purchases are subject to a 7% Ohio and Butler County sales tax unless the buyer has proof of exemption.
