POSTCARD AUCTION RULES FOR BIDDERS (Conditions of Sales) of the NZPS Inc.

1 The highest bidder is the purchaser at 10c above the next highest bidder. If there is only one bid, the sale will be at the reserve figure. If two bids are received for identical amounts on any lot, the first bid received will be the successful bidder.

2 Any lot not matching the description may be returned within seven days of receipt of invoice, (collection and bulk lots excluded) to the sales person.

3 NO BUY BIDS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

4 “Reserve” means just that. Lower bids are not accepted.

5 Successful bidders will receive an invoice after the auction. Payment should be made by cheque and forwarded within seven days of receipt of invoice to the sales manager (usually the Auctioneer).

6 Delivery will only be made to bidders upon receipt of payment.

7 Postage and packing shall be at the purchaser’s expense. PLEASE NOTE: cards are sent at buyer’s risk. Please request ‘registered return’ if you have concerns about the reliability of the mail service. Registration is not available for material sent to a PO Box, but Courier Post will provide this service.

8 BIDS RECEIVED AFTER CLOSING DATE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

9 All bids must be in NZ dollars. Bids may be sent by mail or by email. Emailed bids will be acknowledged – please ensure you receive an acknowledgement, as this is the check your communication has been received.

10 There is no buyer’s premium. This is a ‘no GST’ sale.

11 The Society reserves the right to withdraw any lot without explanation or notification.

NB. The New Zealand Postcard Society Inc will endeavour to ensure that all aspects of the auction procedure are thorough. However, the Society will not be liable for any errors or omissions in executing vendors or purchasers instructions or for any late or non-receipt of material or bids.
