Harrington's Auctioneers & Appraisers Terms & Conditions

1. Bidder Registration

All bidders and buyers must present required documentation before being approved for this auction.

2. Reserve Prices

This auction includes items offered with or without reserve prices. Items offered without reserve will sell to the highest bidder, while items subject to reserve must meet the established minimum price to be sold.

Opening bids may be set below the reserve price, and bidding activity below the reserve does not guarantee a sale. A lot will not be sold unless its reserve has been met or waived by the seller.

Harrington's Auctioneers & Appraisers reserves the right to submit bids on behalf of the seller, where properly disclosed and permitted by applicable law and auction platform rules.

3. Condition, Descriptions & Authenticity

All items are sold "as is, where is." Harrington's Auctioneers & Appraisers makes no warranties or guarantees regarding the condition, authenticity, provenance, attribution, or value of any item.

Catalog descriptions, condition assessments, and photographs are prepared in good faith based on available information and may include subjective professional opinions. Descriptions may not identify every defect, alteration, or sign of wear. Buyers are strongly encouraged to review all photographs, request additional information, and conduct their own due diligence before bidding.

Third-Party Authentication & Grading: Items accompanied by authentication or grading from companies such as PSA, JSA, MEARS, Beckett, or other recognized organizations are sold based on the opinions and certifications of those companies. Harrington's does not independently guarantee these conclusions. Authentication and grading opinions may differ between organizations or change over time. A subsequent rejection, differing opinion, or grade change by another organization shall not, by itself, constitute grounds for a return or refund.

Subject to applicable law, differences in subjective condition assessments or third-party authentication opinions do not constitute grounds for cancellation or refund. Nothing in this section excludes liability for material misrepresentations or rights that cannot legally be waived.

4. Shipping

Harrington's Auctioneers & Appraisers will contact winning bidders with shipping information following the auction. Buyers are responsible for all applicable shipping costs, insurance, taxes, duties, and fees, including those associated with international shipments.

Shipments will be insured for the full purchase value whenever coverage is available, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the applicable insurance provider.

5. Bidding & Auctioneer Discretion

The highest bidder, as determined by Harrington's Auctioneers & Appraisers, shall be the purchaser, except as provided in paragraph 1. In the event of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may, at their discretion, either withdraw the lot or re-offer it for sale. The auctioneer also reserves the right to refuse any bid or to refuse to acknowledge any bidder.

If any property is not removed within fourteen business days, Harrington's Auctioneers & Appraisers may, at its discretion:

(a) Transfer the merchandise to a bonded warehouse, with the purchaser responsible for all transfer and storage expenses; or

(b) Place the merchandise in a subsequent auction without reserve, with the proceeds, less standard commission and any additional charges, remitted to the purchaser.

9. Packaging & Delivery

Upon request, Harrington's Auctioneers & Appraisers may, at its discretion, package and arrange delivery as directed by the purchaser.

In such circumstances, the purchaser agrees that all packaging, handling, and delivery are undertaken at their sole risk and that Harrington's Auctioneers & Appraisers shall have no liability for any loss or damage to the items.
