3. PAYMENT TERMS

All accounts are to be settled by the end of the day. Payment shall be in cash, money order or cashier’s check. Personal and business checks will be accepted if good credit has already been established with WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC., or a personal reference from individuals known to us or upon presentation of a “letter of guarantee” from an officer of your bank. This letter must state an exact amount of funds guaranteed, expressly stating the funds are payable to WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC. on the specific day of the Auction.

A service charge of $25.00 will be charged for any returned check. We DO NOT accept any Credit Cards.

4. DISPUTES & TITLE TO GOODS

In the event of a dispute, the Auctioneer will be the final judge as to which Bidder is successful. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion, re-open the bidding on a particular item. Title shall pass on all items sold when the Auctioneer says “SOLD”. The Purchaser assumes total and full responsibility for all goods at that time, and is responsible for payment for all items whether or not the Purchaser actually takes possession at that time. If any dispute arises after the conclusion of the Auction, the records of the Auctioneer and Clerk shall stand as conclusive.  Any loss or damage by breakage, natural disaster, theft or any other cause is therefore the sole and entire responsibility of the Purchaser. 

5. BUYER’S PREMIUM & SALES TAX

Each individual Lot sold is subject to a 15% Buyer’s Premium which will be added to the successful bid price of each Lot and is payable by the Purchaser as part of the total purchase price. A 6% State of Pennsylvania sales tax will be added to the total purchase price, unless purchased for resale or exempt from tax by other Pennsylvania law. All Bidders who qualify for exemption must file a Sales Tax exemption form with WIEDERSEIM ASSOCIATES, INC.

6. REMOVAL OF GOODS

All property is to be removed from the premises at the risk and expense of the purchaser, subject to limitations stated at the time of sale.
