2. Buyer's Premium

A % service charge ("Buyer's Premium") will be added to the winning bid and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price to Zobie Productions. Currently, all auctions have a 0% Buyer's Premium.

3. Minimum Bids & Reserves

Every lot within the auction has a minimum bid designated by our bidding increments. Some auction Lots may have a minimum price that we are willing to accept for that Lot to be sold at auction (“Reserve Price”). If bidding does not meet or exceed the Reserve Price, the Lot shall be returned to the consignor or relisted into a future auction (at the sole discretion of the Company). Currently, all auctions do not have Reserve Prices.

4. Max Bids

When placing a max bid, you are instructing the auction house to competitively bid on your behalf up to (but not over) the given limit. These bids are kept in strict confidence. This type of bid is for your convenience.

5. Collusive Bidding

Bidding by consignors, collusive bidding, or shill bidding will not be permitted.

Payment & Non-Payment

In the event the user wins a lot, payment is due in full within 7 days after the auction ends. We accept all major debit and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) and PayPal. Failure to pay by the deadline will result in the suspension of auction privileges.

All amounts are displayed in United States Dollars (USD).

Shipping

Lots ship USPS, FedEx, and UPS for both domestic and international shipments. Estimated shipping costs can be displayed on the lot page. Auction invoices will be sent to the winners within 72 hours of the end of the auction. Most Lots are processed and shipped within 3-5 business days of Auction Invoice being paid in full.

Taxes & Fees

The winning bidder agrees that they will be responsible for the payment of any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the winning lot, including but not limited to sales tax, import fees, and duties.

Authenticity

Stock images may be used within an auction if multiple similar items are available to offer and if the item offered has the same autograph placement and quality. If a stock image is used, the item offered is guaranteed to be of equal or better quality. Because every hand-signed item is unique, the item received may vary slightly if a stock image was used.

Framed Items

Framed items are non-returnable due to frame damage.

While we make every effort to protect framed items while in our possession, we cannot be responsible for any damage to frames that may occur. If something was damaged in shipping, we will create a claim with the shipping company.

Third Party Authenticators (TPA)

In the event we require additional authentication, Lots will be authenticated in-house by JSA. JSA is in our office regularly to authenticate Lots at discounted rates. Authentication fees start at $8 per Lot (not to exceed $150 per Lot). Zobie Productions will pay the authentication fee(s) initially and deduct the amount from the consignor’s account. There will be no authentication fee for Lots that do not pass the authentication process, and these Lots will be returned to the consignor. The consignor is responsible for the return shipping cost.

Zobie Productions is in no way responsible for any delay/s involving the 3rd party authenticators entering of authentication information nor is the aforementioned delay sufficient cause to cancel a winning bid and/or refusal to pay any amounts due to Zobie Productions.

Returns

Many items offered are hand-signed by celebrities and, therefore, have been handled by multiple parties in the process. For that reason, some handling wear should be expected.

1. If the lot was described correctly, then the lot is final sale.

2. If the lot was described extremely incorrectly, then the user must contact us within (7) days of the receipt of the lot with written explanation of the alleged misrepresentation.

Zobie Productions must be notified within (7) days of the receipt of the package of any damaged, missing, or incorrectly described items. Shipping charges are non-refundable, unless the lot is damaged or described incorrectly.
