Items are sold “as is - where is” with no guarantees or warranties. It is the Bidders responsibility to inspect the
items and research any and all descriptions and information to their complete and full satisfaction prior to bidding.
All sales are final.
Buyer’s Premium: A 10% buyer’s premium will be added to the winning bid of each item to determine the final
selling price.
Attention Credit Card Buyers: Due to a nationwide insurgence of attempts to purchase items with the use of a
stolen or fraudulently obtained credit card, for any such suspected transactions, Wardlow Auctions Inc. hereby
reserves the right to: 1) request buyers to provide a copy of their driver’s license and credit card with which they
are paying, and 2) withhold shipping of purchased items for a period of up to 10 calendar days to insure that
payment and validity of the transaction is good.
Office Location: Our office is located at 3600 Chamberlain Ln., Suite 222, Louisville, KY 40241 which is in the
Jefferson Trade Center, across from Kentucky Ford Truck Plant, near the I-265 and Westport Rd. interchange.
Shipping: Two options. If you want your coins shipped and they will fit in a USPS Flat Rate box, we can handle
that for you. Please call us to let us know if you want us to ship them and whether or not you want extra
insurance. For USPS flat rate shipping we will coordinate with you prior to shipping to determine estimate of cost.
Shipping charges will consist of $5 plus the actual cost of shipping. The costs will be charged to your credit card.
Alternatively, if you want or need to use a professional shipper, we have worked successfully with a company
called Fragile Pack of Louisville to handle customers' shipping needs. Buyers should contact Scott Logsdon of
Fragile Pack at (502) 423-0000 for shipping questions and needs. If you prefer to use another shipper, we’ll
coordinate that also.
Registration: Registration is free but does require several important pieces of information. Bidders must be
registered with a full name, address, and telephone number. An email address is also required so bidders may be
sent winning bid notifications and auction invoices. Information from either a MasterCard or Visa is to be held on
file. This information is obtained to deter defunct bidding and to facilitate payment once you receive your invoice.
The account will be charged in the event that an item has been unpaid after the allotted time for payment has
passed. Registration may only be completed with an acknowledgment that the bidder has read and understood all
terms and conditions for the sale and online bidding.
How to Register for First Time Bidders: Click on “Register to Bid”, at the next page click on “Sign Up”, and then
complete the information requested. Upon successful completion you will receive notice that you are approved to
bid.
Description of Items: All descriptions and information are believed correct, but are not guaranteed and as such the
Auctioneers, Wardlow Auctions, Inc., and/or the Seller shall not be held liable for inaccuracies in the information. It
is the Bidders responsibility to obtain or verify, prior to bidding, any information they consider critical to their
decision to purchase. Preview times are available for potential bidders to physically inspect the items. All bidders
are encouraged to inspect and research all aspects of the items, descriptions and information provided to their
complete and full satisfaction prior to bidding. The items are being sold “as-is” “where-is” with no warranties or
guarantees of any kind including merchantability and/or fitness for particular purpose.
Bidding: Online bidding is to be understood as a binding contract. Bids will be taken with the understanding that
the bidder will honor their winning bid with sufficient funds including all applicable taxes and fees. Do not bid if
you do not intend to pay. Notification of winning bids will be sent via email along with an auction invoice within 6
hours of the auction’s close. Be sure to check your Junk email folder if you do not receive your invoice within that
time frame. Bidding can be made using two methods on our website- by clicking on the “Bid $$$” button or by
clicking on the “Set Max” button to establish your maximum bid. Bidding increments are pre-set and vary in
relationship to the value of the item.
Bidding Increments are pre-set as identified below: Bids must at least be the “asking” amount and in whole
dollars. You can bid an amount higher than the next “asking” amount if you wish.
- Up to $20.00 - $1.00 increment
- Up to $50.00 - $2.00 increment
- Up to $100.00 - $5.00 increment
- Up to $500.00 - $10.00 increment
- Up to $1,000.00 - $25.00 increment
- Up to $10,000.00 - $50.00 increment
- Up to $50,000.00 - $100.00 increment
“Set Max” Feature: This feature does your bidding without the bidder having to constantly view, log in, and bid on
an item. Setting a maximum online is much like coming to a live auction with a preset spending limit in mind. The
program will bid for you, in the prescribed increments, and only up to your set maximum bid for the item. Your
Maximum bids are kept confidential and not available for other bidders to see. Any bidder can raise or lower a
maximum bid at any time prior to the close of the auction.
Using the Custom Bid feature: The bidding sight allows a bidder to place a bid higher than the bid required by the
next increment. For example, if the current bid is $50 and the bidder would rather jump the bid to $100 rather
than make the bid in the increments required, he/she can do so. The bid will automatically jump to $100. This is
not the same thing as using the Maximum Bid feature, please don’t confuse the two.
Sales Tax: All sales are subject to 6% Kentucky Sales Tax unless you are in the business of buying coins for resale
and have a current Kentucky Resale Exemption Certificate.
Close of Bidding: The bidding will begin to close at 7:00 PM (Eastern time zone), Monday, Dec. 9th EST. For your
convenience, the closing of items will be on a staggered basis of 3 items every minute. For example, items 1-3 will
begin closing at 7:00, items 4-6 will begin closing at 7:01, items 8-10 will begin closing at 7:02, etc. The closing of
some items may be extended in the event of last minute bidding. See paragraph below regarding the Extended
Ending feature.
Extended Ending: All items in the auction will be subject to an extended ending, whereas at the close of the
auction, any bidding activity on an item within 3 minutes of the closing time will automatically extend the bidding
for 3 more minutes past the time of the last bid. The bidding on that lot will continue to remain open in 3 minute
intervals as long as there is bidding activity within 3 minutes of the previous bid. Once there is no bidding activity
within the 3 minute period, the bidding on that item will close. For example, if a lot is supposed to close at 7:00 PM
but a last minute bid is placed at 6:59 PM, bidding will be extended until 7:02 PM. If another bid is placed on an
item at 7:01 PM, bidding will then close at 7:04 PM, unless subsequent bids are placed.
Penalties: Any bidding found to be fraudulent and/or negligence to provide proper payment in the allotted time
will result in all appropriate legal action. Any invoice not fully and properly paid for in the allotted time will be
charged to the credit card account presented at registration and the items forfeited. Delinquencies will be noted
and will prevent the individual from participating in any further live or online auctions conducted by Wardlow
Auctions, Inc. Wardlow Auctions, Inc. retains the right to prevent anyone from participating in this and future
online auctions who does not abide by the terms and conditions of the auction or whose actions are not in the best
interest of our client, the Seller.
Loss of Bidding Privileges: If you fail to pay for or pick up your items in a timely manner, your bidding privileges
may be revoked. Your privileges may be restored by paying for the item and repaying for any loss of the revenue
due to the items not having been sold. Additionally if you’ve paid for your items but fail to make pick-up
arrangements, please read the following paragraph.
Transfer of Title and Ownership of Property: Title and ownership of property purchased shall convey to buyer
only upon payment AND pick-up or shipping of the property by the winning bidder. Unless special arrangements
are made with the auctioneer, for any items not paid for and/or picked up by the winning bidder within 7 days of
the date payment was due, the property shall be considered abandoned and any interest the winning bidder may
have in the property shall revert back to the seller or auctioneer and there shall be no refunds to the winning
bidder.

the seller, the auctioneer and any auction staff members reserve the right to bid.
