Appraisals are conducted by independent third-party appraisal firms. Such firms may be certified gemologists or have education in the industry or alternative certifications. Appraisal value should be not considered for actual value, as price varies greatly from retail locations and other merchants in different geographic locations. All Items auctioned by NY Elizabeth should not be purchased with a view or expectation toward resale for appraisal price given, or to make a profit. The ultimate value for which an item can be resold may vary drastically from the appraisals provided by NY Elizabeth Auction. Any appraisals or evaluations provided are solely for the convenience of the purchaser and NY Elizabeth Auction makes no warranties of any kind relating to such appraisals. Appraisals may include valuations which reflect the full, highest retail price of the item in a specific geographic region. No appraisal value should be considered to represent the actual resale value, insurance replacement value, or cost of a similar good. No statement (oral or written) shall be deemed such a warranty or representation, or any assumption of responsibility. In no circumstance will a vastly different appraisal or estimate of any third-party given on behalf of a purchaser in a NY Elizabeth Auction be grounds for a return, cancellation, or refund. 2. BIDDING (a) General. A bidder's bid at all times represents an irrevocable offer by bidder to enter into a binding contract to purchase the auctioned lot in accordance with the specific provisions of the listing and these general terms and conditions, as applicable, even if a higher bid was received by NY Elizabeth Auction. In the placing of any bid the bidder understands and agrees that the bid, once accepted by NY Elizabeth Auction, will be the winning bid if there is no higher bid by another bidder and if any reserve or reduced reserve on the lot is exceeded by the bid. (i) Deposits. NY Elizabeth may require that first-time Bidders on more than one (1) lot place a bank wire deposit prior to having access to NY Elizabeth auction catalog bidding portal (a ?Deposit?). The amount of the Deposit required will vary and will depend on the catalog for which the bid will be placed.

When submitting bids via email or fax, please confirm that we have received them. (i) Telephone Bidding. To register for a telephone bid, complete an Absentee Bid Form and submit this to NY Elizabeth via email. In order to participate in telephone bidding, you must agree to an automatic minimum opening bid amount. This amount can change for each auction. Please contact our gallery to confirm the minimum opening bid for the auction you would like to telephone bid on.

A bank wire deposit is required for all phone bids. On the day of auction, a qualified member of our auction team will call you approximately three to five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will confirm with you the item that you are bidding on and the minimum opening bid requirement. The team member will then relay the bidding activity to you and announce your bids to the auctioneer as you request. If you are successful, an invoice will be emailed to you the day of the auction. (ii) Absentee Bidding. There are several ways that you may submit an absentee bid (?Absentee Bid?).

Any absentee bids placed with one of these online bidding platforms are released to NY Elizabeth during the time the lot is up for sale and not before. Bids placed in advance of the auction have no timed advantage over those made in real time. By registering to bid on one of our auctions through, LiveAuctioneers, Bidsquare, ATG, or Invaluable, you agree to all of our Conditions of Sale. This is a live auction and bids are accepted from the live audience (floor), absentee bids, telephone, and the internet. You may place an absentee bid online and still not prevail when the selling price is the same or, in some cases, lower than the winning bid. The auctioneer accepts bids from where he/she sees them first. Internet bids that were placed prior to the auction are transmitted to the auction gallery during live bidding and not before. The auctioneer is the final determination on who the winning bidder is. We are providing you with a service, we are not responsible for missed bids or mis-executed bids. The Auctioneer, at his sole discretion, reserves the right to reject any opening bid, which he feels is unacceptable or too low. The auctioneer also reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale. Once the auctioneer announces 'SOLD', title to the property will immediately pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. Once title to the property has passed to the highest bidder, such bidder (a) assumes all risks and responsibilities (b) will pay the full purchase price including buyer's premium and applicable sales tax/VAT. (c) Winning Bid. The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by NY Elizabeth Auction. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on NY Elizabeth Auction part as to the validity of any bid, the NY Elizabeth Auction will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, NY Elizabeth Auction sale record shall be conclusive. (d) Withdrawal of Items. NY Elizabeth Auction has the right to withdraw any article/goods from the auction during or after end of the sale.

Bids may be received by NY Elizabeth Auction through the Internet or in certain cases, via e-mail. (e) Email Bidding. Bidding through an e-mail is only available to pre-qualified dealers or resellers that have paid a wire deposit in advance. If you desire to qualify as a qualified dealer, please contact us to receive an application. Approval as a qualified dealer is at the sole discretion of NY Elizabeth Auction and requires a bank approved line of credit that is reviewed and approved by a dealer development specialist at NY Elizabeth Auction. (f) Mistaken Bids. A bid entered by mistake on the part of a bidder is NOT grounds for a cancellation of the bid. Each bidder is responsible for his or her own account and bids. By allowing access to another who enters a bid without your knowledge will NOT be grounds for a rescission of the bid(s). Therefore, any bid made on your account will bind you to the bid in accordance with these terms. The bidder assumes full responsibility for items at the fall of the hammer (or expiration of time in an online auction). If an entity places a bid on a lot, then the person executing such bid on behalf of the entity hereby agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. (g) Proxies. Any bidder that represents a purchaser is personally and individually responsible for any obligations of the purchaser set forth in these terms and conditions. All purchasers purchasing pursuant to a valid resale license will need to provide appropriate documentation for removal of state sales tax (excludes motor vehicle sales). (h) Reserve Price. In the event that any reserve price of a lot is not exceeded by any bidder's bid, NY Elizabeth Auction, in its sole discretion, with or without the knowledge of or notice to any bidder, may reduce any reserve price to an amount below the bid of bidder at any time during an auction and accept the bid made by bidder. Reserve prices are always the confidential information of NY Elizabeth Auction and are not disclosed to bidders unless specifically stated as such during bidding. Nothing contained in any listing shall be construed to disclose any reserve price. NY Elizabeth, and any consignors, reserve the right to bid on any lot(s). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all lots are subject to a reserve price that shall be hidden from all bidders. NY Elizabeth shall act to protect the reserve by bidding in the auction process if needed. NY Elizabeth may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing its own bid.

Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range.

For purposes of our actions, the terms custom, modified, or after-market may be used interchangeably. Such wear, repair or changes may display varying levels of evidence. The bidder hereby acknowledges that the absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply the absence of wear, repairs, customization, or defects. While NY Elizabeth Auction makes every effort to call to the attention of bidders the use of after-market parts in jewelry and watches sold, the use of such parts or stones shall not constitute a warranty or representation that the items are original in their entirety.

The ultimate value for which an item can be resold may vary drastically from the appraisals listed by NY Elizabeth Auction. All dimensions and weights of such lots are approximate and are consistent with standards and practices in the industry. Condition reports are provided as a service to prospective bidders. Bidders should note that such descriptions are not warranties and that watches may need general service, change of battery or further repair work for which the buyer is solely responsible. Certain art and watch bands from protected species of animals (i.e. alligator, crocodile) and items made of ivory and tortoise may be subject to restrictions in certain countries. (c) Memorabilia. NY Elizabeth Auction may have an interest in certain third-party authenticators and bidder hereby waives any potential conflicts therein related to NY Elizabeth Auction relationship with such authenticators.

You should in no way rely exclusively on such third-party opinions without conducting your own due diligence prior to bidding. (d) Coins and Currency. No material certified by third parties may be returned to NY Elizabeth Auction because of a possible difference of opinion with respect to the grade offered by such third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for uncertified lots sold and then subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Any coins sold referencing a third-party grading service as sold AS IS without any express or implied warranty. Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold AS IS without any express or implied warranty. Grading, condition or other attributes of any lot may have a material effect on its value, and the opinion of others, including third-party grading services may differ with that of NY Elizabeth Auction. NY Elizabeth Auction shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination, or certification by any grading service. Bidder specifically waives any claim to right of return of any item because of the opinion, determination, or certification, or lack thereof, by any grading services. Third-party graded notes are not returnable for any reason whatsoever. Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations and to possible mishandling of items by subsequent owners, NY Elizabeth Auction reserves the right to grade items differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the items. NY Elizabeth Auction also reserves the right to grade items differently than the grades shown in the prior catalog should such items be re-consigned or reoffered in any future auction. Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid that grading is not an exact science and various third-party grading services, or even different employees from the same grading service may grade the same lot differently. Bidder fully understands and is aware of such potential inconsistencies and is bidding with such knowledge. Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified coins and collectibles will vary according to general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some lots there may be no active market at all at certain points in time. Bidders are advised that certain types of plastic may react with a coin's metal or transfer plasticizer to notes and may cause damage. Caution should be used to avoid storage in materials that are not inert. (e) Stamps and Philatelic Items. No stamps or philatelic items may be returned because of a possible difference of opinion with respect to the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer, or service. No guarantee of grade is offered for ungraded items sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading service. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Multiple stamp or philatelic lots, including sets, collections, large lots, and small group lots, whether certified or not, are sold AS IS without warranty of any kind. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Any stamps and philatelic items referencing a third-party certification or grading service are sold AS IS. Bidder shall solely rely upon warranties of the authentication provider issuing the certificate or opinion. Grading, condition or other attributes of any lot may have a material effect on its value, and the opinion of others, including third-party grading services may differ with that of NY Elizabeth Auction. The grading of stamps and philatelic items is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and therefore the opinion rendered by NY Elizabeth Auction, or any third-party grading service may not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts). (f) Real Estate and Land. Bidder understands that NY Elizabeth is conveying the described property as-is, where-is and winning bidder agrees to purchase property as such.

(e) Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, You and We agree that if We make any amendment to this Agreement to arbitrate in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against NY Elizabeth Auction prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and NY Elizabeth Auction If you do not agree to these amended terms, you shall not access or use the Services, and the revised terms will not bind you. (f) Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. If the Agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt-out of the Agreement to arbitrate, as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or court order, you agree (except as otherwise provided by law) that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and NY Elizabeth Auction must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Los Angeles County, California.
