Auction houes cowan's auctions, inc. 6270 este avecincinnati, oh united states 45232513-871-1670additional notes to ebay biddersnotes to ebay biddersthis item will be sold in a live auction. These notes address questions asked or problems encountered by online bidders.For our full terms & conditions, see the other box. Posted sale time the sale times for live auctions only refer to the date of the sale for example, if the sale edn time is 700pm pst, it does not mean you have until then to bid the item will sell whenever the lot comes up on the auction floor. Additional information about a lot if you need additional information or photographs fro a lot, please make your request as early as possible before the sale. Our auctions are held in several locations around cincinnati, and items must be moved to the auction site several days before a sale. They may not be available to take additionla photographs, measurements, etc. For esveral days. We receive dozens of requests for photos, and our sales often exceed a thousand lots. Please be patient. We will try to get you the information as soon as the itmes are unpacked, but that may be the day before the sale. We cannot take photos or answer questions 24 hours before a sale begins, even if the item comes up in a latre session. Estimating shipping costs before the sale we cannot estimate shipping on large items such as furniture. These must be shipped by freight or trucking companies and we cannot uqote their rates for you. We will try to provide contact information for the companies, but you can also check with a local mover in your area. We can sometimes give you a ball park estimate for small items shipped to u. S.Addresses, although final costs are also dependent on insurance costs, whihc are in turn dependent on sale price. International estimates are a bit more difficult. Internatinoal bidders we can ship smaller items to many countries around the world, but we have had problems with others. If you register from one of these problem areas, we will try to notify you that we have had problems there, and bidding will be at your own risk. If we ship an item and it does not arrive, we will not refund your purchase amount. Cowan's will not insure any package shipped to any location other than within the continental united states or canada. Some international shipping companies will provide insurance, however, most common carriers (ups, federal express, usps) will not make full restitution for damages or loss. For this reason cowan's recommends that successful international buyers secure their own insurance. For customs purposes, international buyers should be aware that cowan's will not declare less than the full purchase price of any lot. We can mark the antiques as 100+ years old (if it is).
Please do not ask us ot break the law! Registration please register to bid well before the start of the sale. You must be approved before you can leave na absentee bid on ebay. We have a manual approval process, so it generally takes at least a day to finalize your registration. This means there is a human involved, it si not automated. Once the sale begins, we may not be able to approve your registration. The human also has to sleep, and cannot approve your registration in the middle of hte night (est). The computer platform also chanegs when the sale begins, and registration often slows significantly when we do try to register bidders.
Bid priority if you leave an absentee bid on ebay, ebay will execute the bids in the order received. The earliest bid entered is executed first and will block any live bidders trying to bid during the sale until the maximum bid amount is reached. The ebay priority does not apply to floro bidders. What does happen on occasion is that a lot will sell to a floor bidder for the amount left by an ebay bidder.
This is usually just the luck of the draw. For example, you leave a bid of $300 for an item the bidding opens at $225 and your online bid is recognized by the auctioneer the floor advances to $250 your online bid is recognized at $275 the floor bids $300. The floor bidder atkes the lot since ebay cannot advance to $325 on your behalf, and you cannot bid $300 because you would be bidding against your $275 bid. (technically, you did not bid $300, even though you left that as teh maximum only $275 was bid on your behalf. ) that is, just because you left a bid of, say, $300 two weeks before the sale does not mean you get the lot because your bdi was earlier. You are bidding against other people in a live auction. This does not mean we discriminate against online bidders. Often online bidders get lots for less than their maximum bid, and typically 15 20% of our lots sell on ebay. In addition, ebay does not let us see the amount of an absentee bid. We knwo a bid has been left, but not how much, so we cannot be aware of your maximum. Nor can we fix the bidding so that ebay bidders do not win the lot (we sell too fast to od this, anyway). Besides, if a lot sells for, say, $200, why should we care whether it sells to someone on ebay or someone on teh floor? $200 is $200. Invoices we will send invoices for the entire sale within three days after the end of the entire auction. If you purchased an item early in the auction, you will need to wait until the entire sale is completed before we compile invoices. We are going back to snail mail since many email servers are blocking all business email addresses in an attempt to block spam. Please let us know if you do not receive one after a week or so. We can fax, email or re-send hte invoice. It takes a few days to calculate shipping, and oftne bidders are successful on multiple lots. We combine these on the invoice and od our best to combine shipping charges, also, to save buyers a bit of shipping expense. (we may have to ship items separately because of size, sahpe or fragility, however.). Shipping please allow at least 14 to 21 days after payment for us to ship yoru lot. Feedback we will make every attempt to leave feedback, but with a large sale we may have over a hundred successful ebay bidders and several hundred lots to leave feedback on. We may not be able to do it the day you pay for your lot, but we try to get to ti within the allotted 90 days. Condition reports and photo requestscondition reports are a ocurtesy of the auction house and are answered in the order they are received. We will make every effort to respond within 24 48 hours of receipt. As such, it is suggested that all requests are submitted ta least 48 hours prior to the sale to allow time for the house to respond and for bids to subsequently be entered. We, at cowan's, make every effort to be fair and conscientious with our descriptions and condition reports however, potential bidders must acknowledge that antique items often show normal signs of use and wear, which might not be specified in a condition report. Additionally, a lack of a condition report does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition, or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. If you are a very particular client with expectations fo perfection for the items you purchase, it is advisable that you inspect items in person. Online-only sessionthe second session of this sale (dec. 5) will be online only. tI will still be a live auction with real time bidding on ebay. Any absentee bids left on beay will be executed when the lot comes up for sale. Absentee bids will be executed competitively for this session, just as they are for other live auctions and lots will come up in lot number order, just as they do in other live auctions. Some bids will show on the bid history as live auction floor bidder, but these are absentee bids left with us. Please call cowan's if you have questions about how the online sale will work.Terms & conditionsby registering and bidding ni an auction conducted by cowan's auctions, inc.
