2. All property is sold "AS
IS", and any representation or statement by
the auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure, or
advertisement as to the authorship, attribution,
genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition
or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion
only. Every person interested should exercise and
rely on his own judgment as to such matters and
neither the auctioneer nor his agents are responsible
for the correctness of such opinions.
3. Notwithstanding the preceding
condition, property may be returned by the purchaser,
the sale rescinded and the purchase refunded under
the following conditions: (1) printed books which
prove upon collation to be defective in text or
illustrations (provided such defects are not
indicated in the catalogue or at the sale), and (2)
autographs, photographs or graphics, which prove not
to be genuine (if this can be demonstrated and if not
indicated in the catalogue or at the sale). Written
notice, by registered mail return receipt requested,
of the cause for return must be received by Oinonen
Book Auction within fourteen (14) days of the sale of
the property, and the property must be returned to

at the time of the sale. BOOKS IN LOTS ARE NOT
SUBJECT TO RETURN FOR ANY REASON.
4. On the fall of the
Auctioneer’s hammer, title to the offered lot
will pass to the highest acknowledged bidder, who
thereupon immediately assumes full risk and
responsibility thereof, and will immediately pay the
full purchase price thereof. No lot may be taken away
unless the purchase price thereof has been paid in
full.
5. The highest bidder acknowledged
by the Auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the
event of any dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer
shall have absolute discretion either to determine
the successful bidder, or to re-offer and resell the
