Conditions of Sale

NOTICE! VERY IMPORTANT!: Chupp Auctions handles a high volume of merchandise in a short period of time. While our intent is to describe items, authenticity, and condition to have a successful and mutually satisfying transaction, it is physically and economically impossible for us to achieve perfection on every item. Our firm lists items far in advance of the sale so the buyer can ask questions BEFORE bidding. At our expense, we do provide staffing to get buyers the information BEFORE they bid. When bidding online, please understand that you are assuming some risk. We will not take returns, all items are sold as-is, buyer beware. Any announcements made day of auction take precedence over printed matter. Not responsible for accidents.

Payment will be expected within 1 week after receiving your invoice. Items purchased will remain in our possession until complete payment is made.
