Unless the auction of a lot is announced as absolute, SA reserves the right to accept or reject any bid for any reason whatsoever, at any time before, during or subsequent to any auction. Any and all bids made by a Bidder constitute irrevocable offers to purchase the lot at the maximum bid amount of the Bidder and may not be withdrawn by the Bidder under any circumstances.

Unless a sale is announced as being “without reserve,” SA reserves the right to protect any reserve price by placing and advancing floor bids up to the amount of the reserve. SA may also place bids on behalf of any buyer or seller, bid for its own account or remove any lot from sale without notice at any time. Any bid entered by a Bidder shall be determined in the sole discretion of SA to have exceeded or not to have exceeded any reserve.

SHIPPING, HANDLING AND INSURANCE
We provide handling, packing and shipping services solely as a convenience for our Bidders. Because Bidders most often opt for these services, we include an ESTIMATED AMOUNT in the auction invoice.
. We ship primarily by USPS priority mail within a commercially reasonable time following credit of the Bidders payment to our account. On average, a Bidder may expect to receive their items within 4 weeks following their payment. The actual cost of shipping, insurance, registry and confirmation services is charged to the Bidder, as well as a packing/handling fee not to exceed $3 per item, to defray the cost of labor involved. Large, heavy, fragile or otherwise unusual items will incur additional charges. Under special circumstances, SA may ship items using USPS Express Mail, private carriers or pack and ship enterprises, the cost of which shall be charged to the Bidder. SA will not entertain shipment using lower classes of mail due to the increased risk of loss. Requests earlier shipment or special handling may be accommodated on a limited basis at SA’s sole discretion and may incur additional handling charges. All costs charged to a Bidder’s original invoice are estimates and SA reserves the right to charge additional amounts if such estimates are exceeded and Bidder hereby agrees to such additional amounts. SA may, at its sole discretion, combine the shipment of items from multiple auctions over a 7-day period to reduce shipping costs.
All US domestic shipments are insured at the total bid amount contained in the shipment (other add-on charges are not covered by insurance). The estimated cost of insurance is included in the Bidder’s invoice.
Shipments to Alaska, US Territories and Foreign Countries – Shipping and handling charges to these locations are higher and often require registry or express mail. Insurance coverage to foreign locations may also be limited by the shipping carriers. SA will ship items to foreign locations using the same classes of mail and additional postal services that it uses to ship to US locations, to the extent that such services are available, and, insurance coverage may be limited or unavailable. IT IS THE FOREIGN BIDDER’S OBLIGATION TO BE AWARE OF AND INSTRUCT SA REGARDING ANY ALTERNATIVE SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS WHICH MAY BE DESIRED TO INCREASE INSURANCE COVERAGE. War will not be liable for any shortfall of insurance either on foreign shipments or on the non-coverage of additional invoice charges exceeding bid amounts.
Foreign Bidders are solely responsible for the compliance with all export and import requirements of the items they purchase, both out of the US and into their country of delivery. To the extent that SA is required to assist foreign Bidders in these matters, the time expended by Sa will be billed at $32 per hour.
Storage fees of $4 per day per item will apply to all items held for any Bidder after the normal shipment date due to circumstances existing at the Bidder’s delivery location.
Our responsibility for damage to or loss of any lot ends once it has been turned over to the USPS, or other shipping enterprise for delivery and/or packing. By bidding, the winning Bidder agrees that any and all claims for loss or damage to the lot will be handled solely through the insurance claims process or the carrier and acknowledges that insurance may be subject to deductibles or other limitations which are not the responsibility of SA.
No items will be shipped to any Bidder for any particular auction until all charges for the auction have been paid in full and all funds have cleared. Even if paid in full, no items will be shipped to any Bidder for any particular auction if the Bidder has any balances with SA from other auctions which are not in compliance with the provisions of PAYMENT above, until such balances are paid in full and all funds have cleared. SA may, at it’s sole discretion, require any Bidder to return a signed sales receipt prior to shipping.
BY BIDDING, THE BIDDER AGREES TO SA’S SHIPPING AND HANDLING POLICY AND CHARGES, WHETHER KNOWN OR NOT TO BIDDER AT THE TIME OF BID. BIDDER FURTHER AGREES THAT NEITHER DELIVERY OF AN ITEM AFTER THE DATE DESIRED OR EXPECTED BY BIDDER OR LOSS OF AN ITEM BY A THIRD-PARTY DELIVERY ENTITY GIVE RISE TO A CAUSE FOR A CHARGEBACK CLAIM AND BIDDER SPECIFICALLY AGREES TO REFRAIN FROM THE FILING OF ANY SUCH CLAIM.
NON-PAYMENT
The Bidder is a Non-Paying Bidder (NPB) if the Bidder has not met the requirements of PAYMENT above. Storage fees of $4 per day will apply to items which remain unpaid beginning on the normal shipment date. A service charge of 2% per month shall apply to all balances owed by a NPB beginning after the date such NPB’s payments were due under PAYMENT above. Anytime following 30 days after sale, SA, at its sole option, may convert the unpaid transaction with the NPB to an authorized return and instead bill the NPB the specified restocking fee. Any such restocking fee will then, itself become fully collectible from the Bidder under all of the relevant provisions of these General Terms and Conditions. Payment of any restocking fee does not give the NPB the right to receive auction items.
RETURNS

Any allowed returns must be received in exactly the same condition as when originally shipped to Buyer, or they will be returned to buyer at Buyer’s cost. Any unauthorized returns will be refused. DELIVERY REFUSAL OF ITEMS SHIPPED BY WAR TO THE BIDDER CONSTITUTES AN UNAUTHORIZED RETURN IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THESE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
