Lockdales Auction 175 28-29 March 2020

Bidders Terms RETURNS POLICY : Please inspect thoroughly all lots purchased upon collection or postal receipt. Returns can only be made within 7 days of receipt, with written explanation of the reasons why. Items can only be returned if significantly mis-described, or if proven to be inauthentic when sold as genuine. Bulk lots cannot be returned and thus we strongly advise viewing such lots in person. The nature of what constitutes a bulk lot is determined at Lockdales’ discretion. Returned lots will only be accepted if returned in the same condition they were received in. We seek to stress by these terms: that the practices and etiquette of sale by auction are different from those relevant to sale by private treaty. Items in our auction are not sold “on approval”. Bidders should be certain of the nature of each lot before bidding. We do not refund postal charges. We do not accept any returns on specifically German medals & militaria. These items are considered ‘sold as seen’ and should only be bought in full knowledge and acceptance of these terms. Neither do we accept returns of bulk lots. Please ensure you have viewed items thoroughly. Sold a/f' = Sold As Found / Sold As Seen. Item cannot be returned. ESTIMATED VALUES : The estimated values shown after each lot are the auctioneer’s opinion of what each lot may realise. The price realised may be in excess of this figure, it may also be less than. PRE-SALE AND DESCRIPTIONS : Statements made by us in auction lot descriptions, and in reply to pre-sale enquiries, regarding authorship, origin, age, size, condition, genuineness, authenticity or value are intended as a guide only. These are statements of opinion and should not be relied on as statements of fact. The absence of any description of a defect, damage, modification or restoration in any description or report does not imply that there are none. It is the responsibility of the bidder to assess the condition of auction lots prior to bidding. We reserve the right to alter published descriptions of auction lots prior to sale. Such changes may be published on our website, displayed at the auction, announced by the auctioneer prior to the sale and/or communicated in any other manner. OFFENSIVE WEAPONS ACT 2019 : If you require us to arrange postage/courier of bladed weapons you will need to provide a copy of photo I.D. (passport/driver’s license) as proof of age (over 18). POSTAL BIDDING : You may bid by mail before the sale. Please use the form provided. Enter the maximum you are prepared to offer for each lot and the auctioneer will represent you. Lots are knocked down at one step above the next highest bid, and not necessarily your highest bid. For example: Your highest bid is £110 and the next highest bid is £80: the hammer price is £85. It is the responsibility of the bidder to check details of bids placed. All bids will be held valid even if placed in error. The auctioneer will not be responsible for mistakes by the purchaser. Lots purchased on behalf of postal bidders will be forwarded by the most practical method at the risk of the purchaser. Postage, packing, freight and insurance costs or part thereof shall be borne by the purchaser. Each lot is sold as genuine unless otherwise described in the sale catalogue. Any lot listed under collections and various or stated to comprise or contain a collection that is under- described shall be put up for sale not subject to rejection and shall be taken by the purchaser with all (if any) faults. Lots offered “as is” or “offered on their merits” may contain items that are not genuine and therefore may not be returned for any reason.
