NOTICE! VERY IMPORTANT! Chupp Auctions is pleased to issue an opinion on any lot; the absence of a condition report does not indicate that a lot is in perfect condition or free from any damage, repair, and/or wear. Please understand that Chupp Auctions does not employ a professional advisor. All statements in any condition report, or statements taken verbally, are purely our best opinions and not a warranty. Prospective buyers are encouraged to examine each lot so as to satisfy themselves concerning condition, genuineness, relevance, age, etc. Regardless of any statements made in writing or verbally, all lots are sold strictly “AS IS”. No returns will be accepted on the basis of condition. Any announcements made day of auction take precedence over printed matter. Not responsible for accidents.

  •  Payment Terms

Invoices with a total greater than $5,000 are not eligible for payments online and MUST be paid via wire transfer ($20 fee) or ACH. Please contact the auction house with your invoice number to obtain wiring instructions and an up-to-date invoice. All invoices must be paid in full in 5 business days and all auction items will remain in possession of Chupp Auctions until the invoice has been paid in full. A surcharge is assessed on card payments made; this charge will be stated on your invoice.

  • Responsibilities of Purchaser

Upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, ownership of the property immediately transfers to the successful bidder, who becomes the purchaser of the property. From that time forward, the purchaser assumes all risk and responsibility for the property, including all costs related to handling, shipping, insurance, taxes, export, storage, and any other associated expenses. The purchaser is responsible for the full purchase price, buyer’s premium, applicable taxes, and all related charges. All invoices must be paid in full within 10 days of the auction unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Chupp Auctions. If payment is not received in full, or if the purchased property is not removed within the required timeframe, Chupp Auctions reserves the right to resell the property without further notice. Any payments already made may be retained by Chupp Auctions, and the purchaser will remain responsible for any unpaid balance, resale costs, storage fees, or other related expenses.
