All lots are sold with all faults, imperfections and errors of description.

Tryans Online Auctions acknowledges that some information may be inaccurate or incomplete. Nevertheless, neither those descriptions nor any oral statements made by Owner/Seller or Tryans Online Auctions concerning any items or lots shall be construed as a warranty either express or implied.

ITEMS AND LOTS ARE SOLD AS IS: WHERE IS and WITH ALL FAULTS. Bidder acknowledges caveat emptor and Owner/Seller strongly encouraged Bidder to carefully inspect each item or lot to determine the nature, quality, condition, quantity and size of the item or lot.

Condition Report: While we make our best effort to note any issues on items either in writing or by photograph, the absence of a formal condition report does not imply that a piece is perfect, free from defects, or the effects of aging. Please review the photos carefully and consider them part of the description of a lot prior to bidding. Any condition statement is a courtesy to our buyers and should be considered our opinion and not a statement of fact or free from human error. Requests for additional information can be made by email or phone.

PREVIEW: The sole purpose of a Preview is to give You the opportunity to INSPECT the item(s) in person before placing a bid. Previews will occur at the sole discretion of the auction manager, and times and availability will vary, or depending on location may not be available.

PROXY BIDDING (MAXIMUM BID): When you bid your maximum bid or PROXY bid, the current bid price does not automatically advance to your maximum bid unless a previous higher bid has already been placed.
