Lot # : 463 - Casper Bottling & Lewis Crystal Spring Bottles

THIS IS AN ONLINE ONLY AUCTION It is very important that you read and understand all our terms and conditions before bidding, because by bidding you are entering into a legal and binding contract with Wyoming Estate Services LLC. Also, we want you to have a great experience with no surprises! We regret that due to increasing instances of fraud and variations of custom regulations, we DO NOT allow bidding by persons residing outside the United States, including foreign buyers using a US based shipping service. Canadian residents may bid on items EXCEPT coins, jewelry, gold or silver bullion, or any other item prohibited by Canadian customs, but are urged to contact us in advance for a shipping quote on any large or heavy items. Please be aware that if you are new to Hibid.com and unknown to the auctioneer, you will be required to pay by US bank wire transfer of funds for all invoices containing high value coins, bullion, and fine jewelry. We cannot accept credit card payments for these invoices. Payment must be received within three working days following the close of the auction to avoid cancellation of the transcation. Also, we reserve the right to require payment by US bank wire transfer for payment of other high value invoices for purchases made by buyers unknown to the auctioneer. Auctioneer reserves the right to waive these requirements. For invoices requiring payment by US bank wire transfer, we will send you your invoice and wire transfer instructions within 24 hours after the close of the auction. Payment for all other invoices not requiring payment by wire transfer will be processed to the buyer's credit card that was provided at registration. Buyer agrees not to initiate any chargeback action with their credit card company against the Auctioneer. HERE'S HOW OUR AUCTION WORKS! 1) To bid, you must register with a credit card on our auction page (www.wyomingestateservices.hibid.com). Be sure that the billing address that you have on file with hibid.com matches the address for your credit card to avoid problems with approval to bid. 2) Each item in the catalog will have photographs, a description, and the time that bidding will close for that item. The closing times are staggered to give you 15 seconds between items to bid. You will also see a display of the current amount bid and the next bid amount required. 3) Some items may display a high and low estimate. Estimates are provided for the convenience of the buyer. No warranties, either implied or expressed, are made regarding the accuracy of estimates 4) 30 minutes before the auction begins to close, the "Live Catalog" will appear on the auction page. The "Live Catalog" is a real time bidding screen that does not need to be refreshed, where the remaining time and competing bids on the lots change. 5) You must bid at least the bid increment displayed. We highly recommend that you use our MAXIMUM BID FEATURE. You simply enter your maximum bid, and the HiBid program will bid automatically for you in the set increments against competitors up to your maximum bid. For example, if the current bid is $35, and the bid increment is $5, when you enter a maximum bid of $50, you will become the high bidder at $40. If your competitor bids $45, you will automatically become the high bidder at $50. If your competitor bids $55, you are out unless you bid again, as your maximum bid has been exceeded. Remember that you can raise your maximum bid at any time during the auction, but you cannot retract or lower it once it has been placed. If another bidder has placed a maximum bid prior to yours which is less than yours, you will become the high bidder at the next increment over his. If another bidder has placed a maximum bid prior to yours which is higher than yours, he will become the high bidder at the next increment over yours. If two bidders place the same maximum bid, the earlier bidder will become the high bidder. 6) Once placed, bids cannot be lowered or retracted. 7) A 15% buyer's premium will be added to your purchases. For example, if you purchase an item for $50.00, you will pay $57.50. ($50 plus the 15% buyer's premium). Please take this into account when bidding. There will be a note calculating the total bid including the buyers premium below the bid box on the screen where you place a bid. 8) Wyoming sales tax is 5%, and will be charged to Wyoming buyers unless you have provided a tax exempt number by contacting us by email or phone 307-577-1553 after registering to give us your tax exempt number. You will only have to contact us with your tax exempt number once (the first time you bid on one of our auctions). Coins and silver & gold bullion rounds denominated with weight and precious metal content are exempt from sales tax in the state of Wyoming. 9) Our auctions feature soft close extended bidding. If a bid is placed on an item in the final minute before closing, the closing time will be extended by 1 minute on that item to give others another chance to bid and not lose out to a bid "sniper". This will continue until no bids are received in the final minute of the auction, at which point the bidding will close on the item. 10) All lots will be deemed sold to the high bidder when the last auction lot closes.
