Buyer Registration
All buyer must be registered. Only registered buyers
may purchase an item.
Form
of Payment
All payments must be made by cash, approved checks, or credit
cards. We accept Mastercard, Visa, and American Express. All purchases include
a 10% buyers premium and a 4.167% State tax. All items must be paid in full on
the day of the sale. No purchases may be removed until paid in full.
Estimates
The price estimates given have been drawn from previous auctions, collector sales
and current going rates at the time of publication. However, it should be noted
that these are purely estimates of the range of prices that items could bring.
This shall give bidders an idea of what the bidding range is expected to be. There
is no guarantee that prices will fall within this range. In some case, individual
items may vary in price, due to the exceptional quality or rarity of the item.
Reserves
Many items will have no reserve. For those that do, it is usually the case that
without a reserve, the item would not be offered. Reserve prices will normally
be reflected in the low estimated value.
Preview
and Silent Auction
All auction items will be available for preview in
the Galleria at the Blaisdell Center on Friday July 20 and on Saturday July 21.
The silent auction is in the Galleria from 4:00pm - 6:30pm, on Saturday July 21.
The Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction will take place at 7:00pm in the Pikake
Room, adjacent to the Galleria. The preview in the Galleria is open to the public
and will be on display to all whom attend the All Collectors Show 2001, which
will be taking place in the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall adjacent to the Galleria
and Pikake Room. Pre-registered bidders will receive free tickets to the All Collectors
Show 2001. Bidders who sign up on the day of the auction will be required to purchase
separate admittance tickets if you wish to attend the All Collectors Show 2001.
You must purchase a bidding number to bid on both silent auction items and to
be a bidder for the Vintage Surf Auction. Only those who purchase a bidding number
will be allowed admittance, along with a guest, to the Pikake Room for the main
Vintage Surf Auction.
Internet
bids for silent auction
Internet bids for the silent auction items will
be offered starting July 9th with bids being entertained until July 18th. At that
time, Internet bidding for the silent auction items will close and will serve
as set bids for silent auction items. In such case, should on-site bidding not
reach the Internet bid, then the Internet bid shall be deemed the high bid. Should
on-site bidding exceed the Internet bid, than the Internet bid shall be deemed
an insufficient bid.
Live
Auction Internet bids
For
those unable to attend the auction in person, we are endeavoring to offer live
bidding over the Internet. This is subject to regulatory approval and final certification
is pending. Approval is anticipated early July. Upon approval, Advance arrangements
must be made to receive a secure bidding number and code. Bidders will follow
the auction "live" via the Internet and bid in live-time with actual
on-site bidders. All bidding rules apply to Internet bidders. Prior arrangements
must be made for delivery of purchased items.
Absentee
Bids
Bids that are submitted by an absentee bidder in advance, in writing
or otherwise submitted before the auction for execution at or below a specified
price will be executed as a courtesy for the absentee bidder. No warrantees shall
be made for failure to execute such bids or for errors that may occur in the execution
of such bids. Should a tie be lodged, the bidder in attendance will be deemed
the successful bidder.
Sales
All sales are final upon announcement by Auctioneer as "sold" to the
highest bid: the highest Bidder shall be the Purchaser and no Purchaser shall
retract his bid. All sales are final. However, a registered buyer's bid (an offer)
is not a sale when it is less than a minimum reserve on that item. In this case,
the auctioneer will say "offer" at the close of the bidding process.
The Bidder must contact the owner/ principals to find out if offer is accepted.
It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to insure his purchases immediately.
