Terms and Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF Registration

a. By registering to bid or placing a bid you agree to be bound by all of these terms &

conditions and any other announced terms and conditions of sale or rules of the site.

All Internet bidders agree that bids placed on the Internet shall have the same legal

effect as if they were in attendance at the auction in person.

b. Payment: VISA, MasterCard, Amex & Discover are accepted. Payment will be

expected following the completion of the auction and upon buyer’s receipt of emailed

invoice. Cashier's check and wire transfer are available for payment, but this MUST be

arranged PRIOR TO SALE DATE.

c. All property is sold AS IS, and ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Property is open to thorough

public inspection. It is the Bidders responsibility to determine condition, age,

genuineness, value or any other determinative factor. Bidder shall be the sole judge of

value. Bidders who bid from off site and are not present at the live auction

acknowledge that they may not be able to inspect an item as well as if they examined

it in person. BROWN AUCTION shall endeavor to describe in detail each item and any

pertinent information about it via telephone prior to auction. If you have questions

about the merchandise, the time to ask questions is well in advance of the live

auction. If BROWN AUCTION agrees that the item was misrepresented BROWN

AUCTION will refund the Bidders purchase price to him/her. We want you to be happy

with your purchases. Thank you for your patronage.

d. All Internet Bidders agree to pay a buyers premium equal to Twenty Percent (20%) of

the hammer price of each item they purchase.

e. BROWN AUCTION is providing Internet pre-auction and live bidding as a service to

Bidder. Under no circumstances shall Bidder have any kind of claim against BROWN

AUCTION or anyone else if the Internet service fails to work correctly before or during

the live auction. BROWN AUCTION will not be responsible for any missed bids from

any source. Internet bidders who desire to make certain their bid is acknowledged

should use the pre-bidding “Max Bid” feature and leave their maximum bid 24 hours

before the auction begins.

f. The auctioneer shall advance the bidding at his own discretion. BROWN AUCTION may

withdraw any item before or during the auction. Should a tie or a dispute arise

between two bidders, the auctioneer may, at his discretion, reopen the bidding until

the property is sold. The record of the auction made by BROWN AUCTION shall be

conclusive.

g. Should a dispute arise between BROWN AUCTION and Bidder, Bidder waives any right

to a trial or hearing in a court of law and agrees to settle the dispute through binding

arbitration in Kansas.

h. SHIPPING: All items sold will be available for shipping, unless otherwise stated in the

description of the item (large pieces, furniture, etc.). BROWN AUCTION handles the

shipping themselves and in house. We have shipped thousands of items over several

decades, and are experienced packing fragile antiques and items for third party

transportation. Buyer agrees to pay a $2 per item charge to cover the cost of shipping

materials and packaging labor. Additionally, Buyer agrees to pay for full postage,

including complete insurance to cover entire purchase price. BROWN AUCTION WILL

NOT ship items uninsured. No items will be shipped until purchase price and all

shipping charges are paid for.

i. PICKUP: All items are eligible for pickup either at auction site or at Brown Auction’s

facility in Greensburg, KS depending on logistics of auction locations. Please contact if

you wish to pick up your items upon receipt of your invoice. No items will be picked up

until purchase price is paid in full.
