All items will be available for preview approximately two (2) months in exhibition prior to the auction. All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. This also includes any condition or operational change from the moment said item(s)
transfer possession from PEEKABOO to the buyer, shipper or any agent. Buyer is solely responsible for determining and understanding such condition issues. The lack of a condition report does not imply that the item or lot is free from imperfections, defects or wear and tear of the aging process.
4) BIDDING 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. If there is a tie bid between the floor and internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. PEEKABOO and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder.
