SALES TAX: Online purchases from RBFineArts CFL Inc. may be subject to sales tax. Please see the
following for more details. If you are tax-exempt, you can submit your tax-exempt certificate to prevent the
collection of tax. a) Out of state taxes: As a result of recent and ongoing legislation, most U.S. states now
require businesses to collect and remit sales tax on online purchases made from their states. Regardless
of where sellers are located, they are required to charge tax on internet orders if the state mandates it.
Each state has different requirements and thresholds on what is taxed and how much. Note that
purchases shipped to or picked up in states that do not impose sales tax will not be subject to tax. b)
Sales Tax Exemption: Lake County Florida state sales tax is 7%. Applicable Sales or use taxes will be
added to the purchase price of taxable purchases. To be sales tax exempt, a current sales tax exemption
certificate, including sales tax exemption number, must be presented to RBFineArts CFL Inc to avoid
paying sales tax.
AUCTION CATALOGS: Catalogs, brochures, and internet descriptions are guides only based on
information from sources believed to be reliable, but their accuracy cannot be guaranteed or warranted.
The auctioneer will not be liable for any errors or omissions. Statements made by the Auctioneer and/or
staff of the Auctioneer, whether oral or written, are only opinions and should not be construed as
statements of fact. All measurements are approximate. a) Rugs: RBFineArts CFL Inc does not guarantee
the names or patterns of any Oriental rugs. All rug dimensions are approximate. b) Jewelry: Regarding
jewelry, all weights, grades, sizes, and metal content(s) are approximate. c) Clocks and Watches: Due to
their delicate nature, all clocks and watches are sold as not working even though they may be working. d)
Antiques: Antiques, by the very nature of their age, have wear that reflects their years of use. As a result,
honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal
wear will not be noted in the description. e) Artwork: Because artwork is known to be copied from preexisting examples, the dating of such objects is often difficult to ascertain, and opinions vary from expert
to expert. Due to this, RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests all potential bidders or a representative to
meticulously inspect any and all items prior to bidding. Any reference to a specific time period and/or
culture are only the opinion of RBFineArts CFL Inc and are not a guarantee of authenticity. If the bidder or
a representative cannot inspect an item in person prior to the auction, then RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly
suggests that you do not place a bid on the lot.
Buyers who would like to know the fine points regarding the condition should call 877-660-3271 or (352)
508-5738 or info@rbfinearts.net, prior to the auction. RBFineArts CFL Inc advises buyers to examine the
item before placing a bid. All other guarantees of authenticity of authorship, expressed or implied, are
hereby disclaimed. We are not an authentication service. We can only declare the work as attributed to
based upon the factors mentioned in the specific lot listed. There is no other warranty, expressed, or
implied. Each lot is sold AS IS. All sales are final, and all property is sold “as is.” RBFineArts CFL Inc.
does not give refunds.
Note: If an unpaid item/s has been relisted in a future auction catalog there will be a $100.00 removal
penalty per item, plus any storage penalties, before it will be released for shipping or pickup. If the item/s
has not been relisted there will only be storage penalties of $10.00 per item per day before it can be

REGISTRATION: Bidder must register for the Auction before his/her bid will be accepted. Proper
identification and credit card information will be required. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to
register any prospective bidder for any reason.
CUSTOMER AND CLIENT CONDUCT: While visiting our gallery to preview auction items, to pick up any
items, or to drop off any items, should you act in a way that causes offense or might cause danger to
others or which risks damage to property belonging to others you will be asked to promptly leave, and
face law enforcement being called on you. Further, RBFineArts CFL Inc reserves the right to hold you
liable for reimbursement for any expenses incurred because of any damage or injury. We expect all
correspondence by phone or online to be respectful, any rude, harassing, or offensive behavior may
result in actions including canceled sales and/or being blocked on all bidding platforms and in extreme
cases being reported to law enforcement.
Any request to alter documents with the intent to defraud insurance or government entities will be
summarily declined and reported to appropriate authorities.
ABSENTEE BIDS: Please adhere to the bidding increments. It is possible that an item could go to
another bidder for the same amount as your absentee bid. For example, if your maximum Internet bid on
an item is $325.00 and the required opening bid is $300.00, the Internet auction software will only bid
$300.00 since that is all that is required to start the Auction. The Auction begins with you at $300.00. The
next increment would be $325.00, if no one else bids you will be declared the winner. If a live auction
bidder bids $325.00, they are at $325.00, not you. We always encourage bidders to bid by phone or to
leave absentee bids through our gallery to avoid this. To make an absentee bid with our physical location
instead of an online absentee bid, please call the storefront at 1-877-660-3271 or (352) 508-5738.
AUCTION PROCEDURES: RBFineArts CFL Inc. auctions items at approximately 60 lots per hour.
Occasionally, the bidding software or your internet connection may not be able to keep up with the pace
of the auction or the floor may respond before the internet bid is presented to the auctioneer. We
recommend placing a realistic absentee bid for the live Internet auction before the auction begins as
insurance to avoid this. Occasionally, the Auctioneer may eliminate or reject an Internet bid, or the
auctioneer may reopen a lot after the close of the live internet bidding. In this case, we may reject your
bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via the internet, you agree that RBFineArts CFL
Inc. may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or
any other reasonable circumstances. Internet bids are treated just like floor bids. The Auctioneer reserves
the right to reject any bids that are deemed inappropriate or withdraw any item before or during the sale.
In the unlikely event that internet connection is lost during a live Auction, RBFineArts CFL Inc. Auction
Services reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to cancel the remainder of the auction.
ESTIMATES AND RESERVES: Pre-sale estimates are intended as guides and may not be reflective of
the actual gavel price. Some of the items in this Auction are subject to a reserve. The reserve is a
confidential minimum price agreed upon by both the consignor and RBFineArts CFL Inc. Buyers should
assume that all listed items are reserved unless otherwise stated. We reserve the right to bid on behalf of
consignors up to, but not more than, the reserve to protect against selling at a price below the reserve.
This will be accomplished as necessary by a proxy placing successive bids, or bids in response to buyer’s
bids. Auctioneers reserve the right to invoke Auctioneer’s discretion at any time during the bidding
process. If any dispute arises after the sale, the RBFineArts CFL Inc Auction Services sale record is final
