Conestoga Guns LLC and Conestoga Auction Company a division of Hess Auction Group makes no warranties or representations whatsoever concerning the fitness for use, safety to fire, or to store, or reliability, of any firearm, ammunition or parts of components thereof, whether antique or modern. Any use of any such lot is entirely at the user's risk. Conestoga Auction Company and any division of Hess Auction Group expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for accident, injury or damage resulting to any person from the use or storage of any such lot. All items are sold subject to all International, Federal and State Regulations. Any lot number proceeded by an "R" or "CR" must be registered. If you purchase a lot with 'CR', and you have a Curio and Relics license, you do not need to register this lot. Gun registration is handled by Conestoga Auction Company. Modern handgun purchasers must be Pennsylvania residents at least 21 years of age and must have photo ID (driver's license). Out of state residents must have an FFL dealer in their state to receive shipment on handguns (modern and antique, CR licenses do not qualify). Modern rifle and shotgun purchasers must be at least 18 years of age and be eligible to purchase firearms. It is your responsibility to check your country, state and local laws before bidding. If you are unable to purchase or own a firearm according to your residency laws, do not bid on these items. If you bid and find out later you cannot legally own/accept delivery, the bid is still a valid contract that the Buyer must pay. There is a $2.00 State Fee for PICS (PA Instant Check System) approval for each individual purchasing a handgun and/or longarm. There is also a $3.00 Pa. State Computer Processing Fee for each registered longarm or handgun that is purchased, unless the buyer has an "FFL". There will also be a $5.00 charge for a mandatory trigger lock required for each modern handgun purchased by non- FFL holders. These charges will be passed on to the purchaser in addition to the purchase price and the buyer's premium. The same person to whom the bidder number is registered must be the person to pick up the firearm(s) at the conclusion of the sale - Federal Law disallows anyone else from accepting the transfer. By participating in any sale, the Bidder agrees to be bound by the following terms and conditions: A. All bidders must register for a buyer's number and provide satisfactory identification.

The auctioneer may reject any bid which he considers to be nominal and not commensurate with the value of the article offered. It is entirely possible to buy items by absentee bid for less than your top bid price as they are handled competitively.

Upon the fall of the hammer or said sold, the title and responsibility for each item or lot passes on to the Buyer. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer, at his discretion, will determine the successful bidder or re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. In addition to signing these Conditions of Sale, Bidder agrees that he or she will not be permitted to take delivery of purchases until his or her check(s) have cleared unless he or she has previously established credit or made payment arrangements satisfactory to Auction Company. A premium equal to 15%, plus online fee, of the successful bid price will be added to all lots, and is payable by the Bidder, as part of the total purchase price. By registering for a buyer's number, Bidder agrees to allow contact information to be used for marketing and sales analysis purposes. B. BIDDING INCREMENTS: The auctioneers will be using set bid increments. If you have placed absentee bids that do not follow the set increments, your bid will be executed at the set lower increment. C. ABSENTEE BIDDING will be accepted with a valid credit card number to guarantee the bid. All requests for absentee bidding must be received by Hess Auction Group in written form at least (24) hours in advance of the start of the auction. In the event of duplicate in-house absentee bids, the first bid received will take precedence. In-house absentee bids will not be executed on items which are found to be other than described in the catalog. The auctioneer may reject any bid which he considers to be nominal and not commensurate with the value of the article offered. It is entirely possible to buy items by absentee bid for less than your top bid price as they are handled competitively. Due to uncertainties of bidding, a lot may sell to the floor bidder for the same amount as an absentee bid. To prevent this from happening, the absentee bidder can give Auction Company the right to bid the next higher bid by placing a (+) sign after the bid price. Auction Company will not be responsible for any omissions when processing your absentee bids. All sales are final and must be paid in full immediately. Items must be inspected before leaving absentee bids. D. ONLINE BIDDING: Online buyers are charged an additional premium. The online buyer's premium varies according to the listing platform that is used. Check the online conditions of sale for the buyer's premium for each auction when bidding online. We are not aware of the live bids in advance, but only during the time of the auction as they are forwarded to our computer. Auction Company will not be responsible for any omissions, errors or slow communications on absentee bids from Online. In the event of a tie bid with a floor bidder and an online bidder, the floor bidder will take precedence. The auctioneer's decision in this matter is final. E. PAYMENT: Payment must be made prior to removal from the Auction House. In house bidders must settle their accounts on the day of sale. Absentee and Online Bidders must make payment within five (5) calendar days. Failure to do so will result in a dispute on your account and in forfeiture of items unless prior approval has been granted.

Payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until Auction Company has collected funds represented by checks, or, in the case of bank or cashier's checks, until Auction Company has confirmed their authenticity. Bidder agrees that items are forfeited to the Auction Company if payment is not made in accordance with all of the conditions set forth herein and agrees to pay any returned check charges that may be incurred. P. Removal of Property. The Bidder, at Bidder's expense must remove all property from Auction Company not later than (30) calendar days following the sale.
