April 2026 No Reserve Discovery Estate Auction

TERMS OF SALE

Each lot in the auction and/or catalog is subject to the following terms and conditions of sale, as supplemented in writing or otherwise by us at any time before the sale. By registering to bid, bidding, or purchasing in any way a lot from Crafted Auctions, the client agrees to be bound by these terms.

Auction

The auctioneer will introduce each object for sale, hereby referred to as “lots”, in numerical order as listed in the corresponding catalog or website.

The estimates that appear with each lot description are approximations reflecting the range in which the hammer price may fall. Some lots are subject to a reserve, the price below which an item cannot be sold. In most instances, the reserve is less than the low estimate.

The auctioneer determines the highest bidder and selling price of every lot. He or she may re-offer and resell any lot and will be responsible for resolving any dispute in bidding. The judgment of the auctioneer is final and binding.

Bidding

To bid in an auction, you must create an account with us and register for that auction. This account is different from your CraftedAuctions.com retail website account. But, once you have an auction bidding account with us, you will only need to register for each future auction in which you plan to bid. You may register for and participate in any auction as soon as the auction goes live on our Site.

A client unable to attend the sale may bid via phone, absentee, or online. Please complete and submit an absentee or telephone bid form on our website, or at the auction house.

Crafted Auctions assumes no responsibility for a failure to execute any bid or errors or omissions made in connection with any remote bidding arrangement.

During phone bidding, an agent representing Crafted Auctions will call the client during the live sale to execute bids on client’s behalf. The client should instruct Crafted Auctions’ agent to bid as they choose. Please make arrangements for phone bidding as early as possible as there are a limited number of phone lines available. Crafted Auctions does not guarantee an available phone line if arrangements are made after 5:00pm CST on the day prior to a sale.

Clients may leave absentee bids to be executed by one of our representatives. Crafted Auctions makes every effort to purchase a lot as inexpensively as possible without exceeding the client’s limit. Please submit absentee bids prior to 5:00pm CST on the day prior to the sale.

Internet bidding is available through online platforms. Crafted Auctions is not responsible for errors or omissions when client utilizes said platform.

Crafted Auctions encourages all clients or knowledgeable representatives to visit and inspect all lots during this viewing period. If an in-person inspection is not possible, we encourage clients to contact us with condition report requests well in advance of the sale. Crafted Auctions will provide our opinion of condition, answer any questions, and provide additional photographs per the client’s request. Any such opinion is not a statement of fact, but is given to the best of our knowledge.

This guarantee is in effect for 30 days after the auction in which the lot was sold.
