Terms and Conditions
By bidding at Prince Castle Auctions you agree to be bound by these
Terms of Sale as well as the terms of any supplemental notices
announced prior to or during the auction start.
By bidding you are entering into a legal contract, please take this seriously.
All items are sold 'as-is, where-is,' with any and all faults, and
without guarantees or warranties.
Registration: In order to bid, you must register and acquire a bidder
number. At registration we will require identification, such as a
driver's license, and a valid credit card number.
Auctioneer's Determination Final: A lot will be sold to the highest
bidder as determined by the Auctioneer. It is your responsibility to
make sure that the Auctioneer has recognized your bid. Neither the
Auctioneer nor Prince Castle Auctions will be held liable for a missed
bid. In case of a disputed bid, the Auctioneer shall determine who is
the successful bidder and at his or her discretion may re-offer and
resell the article in dispute.
Condition Reports: If requested, we will provide you with a condition
report. All condition reports reflect our good faith opinion but do
not in any event constitute a representation or warranty about an item
and are non-binding.
Reserves: Unless expressly stated by the Auctioneer prior to sale,
Prince Castle Auctions does not have reserves on any items.
Withdrawal of Property: Prince Castle Auctions reserves the right to
withdraw property from sale for any reason, at any time, prior to sale
and with no liability whatsoever.
Title: Title to an item immediately transfers from the consignor to
the highest bidder when the Auctioneer says 'sold.' Should you be the
highest bidder on an item, you are the purchaser of that item and you
immediately become party to a binding contract with the consignor
(Prince Castle Auctions acts as agent only). At this point you assume
liability for your newly acquired property.
Payment: Payment is due the day of sale for in-house bidders. For
absentee, phone and internet bidders, payment is required within 7
days of the date of sale. Prince Castle Auctions will email an invoice
to all successful bidders within 48 hours of the end of the auction.
Prince Castle Auctions accepts cash (in-house bidding only), wire
transfers, all major credit cards(Please note: Prince Castle Auctions

less. Payment for invoices greater than $20,000 must be made via wire
transfer) and PayPal. Bidders outside the U. S. will be required to
pay by wire transfer. The Buyer's Premium is part of the purchase
price, as is sales tax if applicable.
Sales Tax: We are required to charge Texas sales tax at the current
rate unless you provide us with a valid resale number at registration.
No sales tax is charged for purchases shipped out of state. Property
picked up at Prince Castle Auctions is subject to Texas sales tax,
even if you live out-of-state (unless you provide us with a valid
resale number).
Buyer's Premium: The Buyer's Premium is 20%.
Shipping: At the request of the buyer, Prince Castle Auctions will
authorize the shipment of purchased items, which usually ship within 7
days after payment has been received. Shipment is generally made via

way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent handlers,
packers or shippers of purchased items or for any loss, damage or
delay from the packing or shipping of any property. Buyers are
required to pay for all shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty
charges are the responsibility of the successful bidder.
