Terms & Conditions
GRACELAND AUCTIONS
TNGL# 5967
1. Auction A Circle, LLC d/b/a Graceland Auctions has endeavored to accurately describe all items being sold. All items are sold as is, where is, with all faults. There are no warranties or representations of merchantability, of fitness, nor of any other kind, express or implied. All items are available for your examination prior to bidding by appointment only. Your bidding will signify that you have examined the items as fully as desired, or that you have chosen not to examine them. Please note that photographs may have had size modifications for display purposes, or been trimmed to exclude framing, matting, and wide blank margins. Also, imperfections from the photography process can include reflections and variations in color due to digital processing. Auction A Circle, LLC shall have no responsibility for any error or omission. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear, imperfections or aging. Any condition statement, written or verbal, is given as a courtesy to the client, and is only an opinion. It should not be treated as a statement of fact. Written and oral descriptions are statements of opinion and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to age, condition, materials or any other feature of items being sold. Auction A Circle, LLC's goal is to provide prospective bidders with accurate and detailed information. Auction A Circle, LLC recommends prospective bidders examine all items in which they have an interest. If you require absolute certainty in all areas of authenticity, and the results of your evaluation leave uncertainty in your mind, it is recommended you not bid on the item in question. Estimates provided are an opinion as to the price that a willing buyer would pay for the property at auction. These estimates are neither a representation nor a prediction of the actual selling price that will be realized at auction. All sales are final. No statement written or oral made by the auctioneer shall be deemed a warranty or assumption of liability by Auction A Circle, LLC or by any seller represented by Auction A Circle, LLC. Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale.
2. The Auctioneer will be the final judge as to who is the successful bidder. In the event of any dispute, the Auctioneer shall, at his discretion, decide whether or not to reopen the bidding. It is the bidder's responsibility to get Auction A Circle, LLC'S attention prior to the Auctioneer saying "sold". Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to reject any bids deemed inappropriate. If an item is withdrawn from the auction it will be offered again only at the Auctioneer's discretion. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the successful bidder at the fall of the Auctioneer's "hammer". The purchaser shall assume full responsibility for the lot purchased once title has passed.
All lots offered in this catalog are subject to a reserve, the amount of which is confidential between AAC and the consignor, but will not exceed the printed low estimate in the catalog. We reserve the right to open the live auction bidding and bid up to the amount of the reserve by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot, or bid in response to other bidders.
During the live event, when a floor bidder, phone bidder or internet bidder attempts to bid the same amount as a previously left on-line proxy bid or accepted absentee bid (submitted on the form found in the catalog or emailed upon request), that on-line proxy bid or accepted absentee bid shall be given precedence by the auctioneer. These on-line proxy bids and accepted absentee bids were placed at an earlier time in the process, and they are therefore given precedence in the event of a tie with a floor bidder, phone bidder or live internet bidder.
3. Invoices will be emailed within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Payment for all winning bids must be settled within 10 days of sale, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Payment may be made by cash (In House Only), bank wire transfer, certified funds, credit card, check or PayPal. Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to require payment by bank wire transfer or certified funds. Personal, business and cashier checks will be held for a period of 10 business days prior to release of material. Where permitted by law, a convenience charge of 3.5% will be reflected in the final purchase price for the use of a credit card.
Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to not issue a bidder number or to withhold merchandise if appropriate credit has not been established. Auction A Circle, LLC reserves the right to hold all merchandise until receipt of funds is verified.
4. A buyer's premium will be applied to the purchase price of all items as listed below. (The "Sales Price" is the hammer price plus the buyer's premium, plus applicable convenience payment fees, plus other applicable fees and taxes). All bidding at auction and all purchases will be in U.S. Dollars.
Live bidders via floor or phone/absentee bidding or internet: 25% Buyer's Premium
Premium and other applicable fees and taxes are payable by cash, certified funds, bank wire transfer, credit card, check or PayPal. Where permitted by law, credit card payments incur a 3.5% convenience fee.
5. All items for this auction are located at Graceland Archives Warehouse in Memphis, TN. Auction A Circle, LLC does not ship. As a buyer, you are responsible for the pick up or shipment of the property you have purchased. As a courtesy, Auction A Circle, LLC has made arrangements with a variety of third party shippers to provide shipping quotes for buyers. Please note that shipping remains the responsibility of the buyer and it is highly recommended that you get quotes prior to the auction for large, fragile, or heavy items so you can consider the shipping costs before bidding. Under no circumstances will Auction A Circle, LLC be held responsible for items entrusted to a third party shipper. Purchaser agrees that packing and shipping is done at the purchaser's risk and that the purchaser will pay for all packing expenses, materials, carrier fees and insurance charges. Auction A Circle, LLC will have no liability for any loss or damage to shipped items. If any employee or agent of Auction A Circle, LLC is requested and agrees to pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk, responsibility and expense of the purchaser and Auction A Circle, LLC shall not be liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by such employee or agent. The purchase price and all fees must be paid in full before items will be released to the buyer or their agent.
Shipping small items by common carrier (UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS): Auction A Circle, LLC has engaged shippers to pick up several times a week from Auction A Circle, LLC's facilities. Auction A Circle, LLC's recommended shippers for small items are LR International and Mallory Alexander International Logistics. Once Auction A Circle, LLC received your payment and the completed shipping form authorizing the release of your property to the shipper, Auction A Circle, LLC will add your lot(s) to the list for the next pick up. You will receive a shipping quote for you approval within 48 hours after the shipper has picked up your lot(s). If for any reason the quote is unacceptable to you, your property will be returned to Auction A Circle, LLC so you can make alternate arrangements.
Shipping larger items by freight (e.g. furniture, bulky or odd shaped items, etc.): Auction A Circle, LLC can provide assistance in arranging for delivery by freight for items that exceed allowable dimensions or weight restrictions of UPS, Fed Ex and similar carriers. Depending on the location, Auction A Circle, LLC can recommend a variety of third party shippers. Auction A Circle, LLC is also happy to work with the freight company of your choosing. Please keep in mind that delivery of these types of items can be an expensive proposition and Auction A Circle, LLC urges you to consider this before bidding. Please remember that it is your responsibility to pay for all deliveries.
All property should be removed from the premises within 30 days unless prior arrangements have been made with Auction A Circle, LLC. Purchased items not picked up from the auction facility within 30 days of the auction will be assessed a storage and administrative fee of 1% per month of the total purchase price from the 30th day after the sale until its removal, and a minimum fee of 3% of the total purchase price for any property not removed within 90 days after the sale. Alternatively, for any property not removed within 180 days after the sale, the property may be resold without reserve and the proceeds remitted to the purchaser less all applicable charges, premiums and fees due and owing to Auction A Circle, LLC.
6. All purchases are subject to 9.25% Tennessee sales tax and an additional 5% tourism tax, unless the Tennessee Department of Revenue Blanket Certificate of Resale form is completed and provided, along with a copy of the resale certificate from your state and received prior to time of purchase. International buyers are responsible for any artist resale rights, VAT, tariffs, taxes, or assessments of shipped items to the buyer's country. Any registered in-person bidder is subject to Tennessee sales tax and the additional tourism tax regardless of "ship to" address. Any items exempt from sales tax are indicated with an * in the catalog.
7. Absentee/Telephone/Internet Bidding: As a service to customers, Auction A Circle, LLC will execute absentee bids if so authorized in writing under the provisions herein specified. Absentee bids should be made on the absentee bid form provided. This form should be clearly and completely filled out and accompanied by a valid credit card number and government issued identification. Absentee bids are executed competitively and confidentially. In the event of tie bids between absentee bidders and those in attendance, preference will be given to the attending bidder. If two absentee bidders bid the same amount, the first received will be honored. Telephone bidders also should submit a completed absentee bid form. Upon receipt of a properly executed bid form, Auction A Circle, LLC will make arrangements to call you just prior to your lot(s) of interest being offered.

8. In bidding on any lot offered, the bidder indicates acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. Title of each lot passes when the auctioneer says, "Sold".

Collection from the local FFL is entirely the purchaser's responsibility. Any uncollected firearms will be re-sold at the purchaser's expense. All bidders should contact a FFL Dealer before placing a bid on an item to verify the complete cost of the transfer, to verify the legality of the item in the bidder's state or other jurisdiction, and to make sure the bidder qualifies to pass any required background checks.
