When bidding on any lot offered by Morphy Auctions, the bidder indicates acceptance of the following Terms of Sale:
CONDITION OF ITEMS
Morphy Auctions makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales, however all items for sale are as is, and it is the bidders responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine the exact condition of each item. Morphy Auctions will not be held responsible for typographical errors. All items will be available for preview prior to the auction.
GRADING
Our specialists and catalogers have put as much care as possible into describing the condition of the items to be sold and notating obvious flaws, major and minor. Although important flaws are noted, some minor flaws may be overlooked in the light of the major flaws cited. Catalog condition descriptions are subjective. We use descriptive terms instead of a number system. The terms are as follows: mint, near mint, excellent, very good, good, fair and hyphenates of those terms, i.e. good to very good. Instead of trying to define those terms exactly we rely on what we think are the generally accepted definitions of those terms. Early and rare items might be given more latitude in describing the general condition due to their scarcity. When an item is listed as excellent we mean that it has no major flaws and if it has minor flaws they are not significant enough to affect the original judgment of the condition. WHEN IMPERFECTIONS ARE NOTED, THE BUYER SHOULD BID ACCORDINGLY. ABSENTEE BIDDERS CAN CALL FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS AS TO CONDITION. In any event,
the ultimate judge is the buyer as stated in the terms of sale.
ESTIMATES
As a service to bidders we have supplied a value range for each item. We attempt to be conservative in our estimates while still providing guidelines. Items of great rarity which have had little recent sales history are most difficult to estimate, as are items with condition problems.
Dimensions are in inches and occasionally approximate. Abbreviations: Dia = diameter or depth; H = height; W = width; L = length.
DOLLHOUSE WIRING
We cannot be responsible for the proper functioning of the lighting and suggest that reconnection of wiring be left in professional hands
RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES
The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. Morphy Auctions and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede the previews and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneers hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed.
