Terms and Conditions of Our Auctions

By registering for our auction, you agree to the terms and conditions as stated below.


Conditions: Carolina Auction House strives to accurately describe the items being sold, but all property offered for sale is strictly "as-is" "where-is" with all faults. All sales are final and no refunds are given. The sales records and recordings shall be conclusive. It is the bidder's responsibility to determine the exact condition and authenticity of each item. No statement in this catalogue or by representatives of Carolina Auction House shall be considered as a warranty or assumption of liability. Oral and written descriptions given by Carolina Auction House staff members in person or electronically are given as a courtesy to a client, are only an opinion, and should not be considered as a guarantee of age, composition, or authenticity. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear or imperfections. By bidding, you signify that you have either closely examined the items, have chosen not to examine them, or have hired an independent agent to examine the item(s) for you. Condition reports are available via the online catalog or by contacting The Auction House.

Firm Information: Carolina Auction House, NCAFL#9833. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw a lot for any reason he deems appropriate, including any lots that may have a reserve, or if there is a lack of bidding interest or lack of appropriate bids.
