Johnstown Road • Gahanna Ohio 43230 TERMS OF SALE A “Buy or Bid” Sale is different from a Mail Bid Sale—please read the following: NO PACKING FEE • FREE SHIPPING OFFER DETAILS BELOW 1. This is a “Buy or Bid Sale.” A buy price is provided at the end of each description and any lot may be purchased at that amount at any time during the sale. Once an item is sold, previous or subsequent bids are null and void. 2. Bidding begins at 50% of the stated buy price, an amount already lower than usual. Unlike mail-bid sales, bids are not reduced. Please bid only the amount you are willing to pay. Lots sold via bidding will be awarded on the date indicated. Please bid in whole dollars. 3. Unless exempt by law, sales tax will be added to the cost of all lots delivered in the State of Ohio. 4. This is not an approval sale. Any claims for adjustment must be made within three days after receipt of lots purchased. No lots may be returned without our written permission. By submitting bids you agree to the “Buy or Bid” Terms of Sale herewith set forth. 5. Bidders unknown to us must supply acceptable credit references or a 25% deposit to assure entry of their bids. 6. A 15% buyer’s premium will be added to the cost of all lots, whether sold by “Bid” or “Buy.” There is no additional charge or commission for executing bids. We reserve the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale. 7. All postage, insurance and shipping costs will be added to your invoice, except as noted below. 8. Payment must be made in U.S. dollars, and may be made by check, money order, credit card, or by PayPal to df@numislit. com, All checks must be drawn on United States banks. Payments may also be made directly to our bank: details will be provided upon request. All bank charges must be paid by the sender. 9. Lots to be mailed to addresses not in the United States or its Territories will be sent only at the risk of the purchaser. When possible, insurance or registration will be obtained. 10. Title to all lots remains with the cataloguer until paid for in full. Payment must be made immediately upon notification or upon receipt of material. The discretionary right to withhold delivery of lots until full payment has been received is reserved. 11. All lots are as described. We acknowledge the possibility of errors or typographical mistakes, and any errors on our part will be cheerfully corrected. We cannot be responsible for your errors; please check your bid sheet carefully. NO PACKING FEE / FREE SHIPPING OFFER This “Buy or Bid Sale” is primarily intended to dispose of lower-value material and lots not sold in prior mail-bid sales.
