PREVIEW
It is recommended that all prospective bidders examine carefully all items in which they have an interest. While every effort is made to disclose known defects or imperfections, we are unable to guarantee the condition of any item. Please inspect all items prior to bidding. No returns or refunds. Everything is sold "as is" and “where is” without warranties or guarantees of any kind. Buyers shall rely entirely upon their own inspection and information. All sales are final. Failure to inspect the property does not relieve the bidder of responsibility for payment and removal. Any error in description does not relieve the buyer of their responsibilities. There are no refunds or returns.
Qualified statements by the auctioneer or auction company are opinions, not representations or warranties. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear, tear, imperfections or the effects of aging.
New Beginnings reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time. Sellers reserve the right to bid on any and all items. Jewelry items are not returnable for any reason after they leave the auction premises; all jewelry sales are final. Dimensions and weights listed are approximate.
