A-OK believes to the best of its knowledge that the information presented in any auction has come from reliable sources, however; such information is presented solely for the convenience of the prospective purchasers. A-OK attempts to catalog every lot correctly and will attempt to point out any defects but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. It is the responsibility of prospective bidders to examine all items in which they have an interest. By placing a bid, in any capacity, you signify that you have examined the items as fully as you desire and have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from A-OK that you deem adequate.

Any appraisals, Estimates, or evaluations provided are solely for the convenience of the bidder and A-OK makes no warranties of any kind relating to them. Appraisals may include valuations which reflect the full, highest retail price of the item in a specific geographic region. The terms Estimate or Estimated Value (collectively 'Estimate') as used herein may be an arbitrary value and may fail to represent an actual resale value, insurance replacement value, or cost of a similar good. Similarly, no appraisal value should be considered to represent the actual resale value, insurance replacement value, or cost of a similar good. No statement (oral or written) shall be deemed such a warranty or representation, or any assumption of responsibility.

4. The successful bidder is the highest bidder acknowledged by A-OK. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on A-OK's part as to the validity of any bid, A-OK will have the final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, A-OK's sale record is conclusive.

All checks will be held for 7-10 days and your winning lots will not be released for shipment until funds have cleared our bank.

7. Bidder's bid at all times represents an irrevocable offer by bidder to enter into a binding contract to purchase the lot in accordance with the specific provisions of the listing and these general terms and conditions, as applicable, even if a higher bid was received by A-OK. In the placing of any bid the bidder understands and agrees that the bid, once accepted by A-OK, will be the winning bid if there is no higher bid by another bidder.
