General Terms of the Auction: Information is subject to change. All lots are sold in "As Is-Where Is" condition, with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. Due diligence is the responsibility of the bidder/buyer. All sales are final. No credit card charge backs will be allowed. Purchases may be removed only upon receipt of payment in full.

1. REGISTRATION: All bidders are required to register and must provide their name, address, daytime phone number, email address and credit card. The card information can not be changed after registration and will be charged if you are the winning bidder.

Tobias Auction Service reserves the right to remove any bidder if there is any question as to their credentials or ability to enter into a legally binding contract.

2. BUYER'S PREMIUM & SALES TAX: A ten percent (10%) buyer's premium will be added to your purchase price; please factor this into your bidding. Sales tax will be collected on the total, if applicable.
3. CATALOG: Tobias Auction Service makes every effort to provide accurate photos & descriptions of all auction items listed; however, all items are sold as-is. Bidders are encouraged to attend the scheduled preview as it is each bidder's responsibility to make their own determinations as to the exact condition of each item. Although we provide images of each item, descriptions of auction items, as provided by Tobias Auction Service, are only our opinion and should not be the sole basis for your bidding decisions. We do not use "stock" photographs or use one photo to represent multiple lots. Tobias Auction Service Reserves the right to change/alter descriptions as needed to better describe and preserve accuracy.
4. BIDDING: By bidding on any item, the bidder shows acceptance of the terms of the auction. When bidding on items, it is your responsibility to know and abide by any and all local, state and federal laws.
All assets are being sold in "As-Is, Where-Is" condition and with all faults, imperfections and errors of description. Neither the Seller nor Auctioneer makes any warranty, express or implied, as to the nature, quality, value or condition of any asset. Auctioneer and Seller expressly disclaim any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular use. No sale shall be invalidated by reason of any defect or inaccuracy in any description or listing, and no liability shall be borne by the Auctioneer with respect to such errors. All information has been obtained from sources generally believed to be reliable, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed or warranted by the Auctioneer. Bidder acknowledges it is their responsibility to inspect all assets and to make their own inquires.
