Bidders are advised to carefully read through the Conditions of Business prior to participating in the auction. We invite you to contact us should you have any questions or view our FAQ page for further details. Please note all sales are “As Is” and “Where Is.” No warranties or representations of any type whatsoever are made by RM Sotheby’s, or any consignor, to the bidder regarding any lot offered in this online auction.
Following a successful purchase at auction, bidders are advised that payment is due in full on or before 17:00 of the next business day following the auction. For purchases under $5,000, the credit card provided at the point of registration will automatically be used as the payment method, and the final price will be deducted in full. For purchases over $5,000, payment must be made by wire transfer. The successful bidder will receive a copy of their bill of sale and instructions to remit payment via email.
Buyer’s Premium
In addition to the final bid amount, a buyer’s premium is due on each lot purchased. This fee is clearly displayed under the ‘Additional Information’ tab on each lot page when viewing on rmsothebys.com and applies to the final hammer price achieved at auction.
Taxes/Import Duties
Buyers are responsible for any applicable duty and/or local taxes on any lots purchased. International bidders are advised to inform themselves of potential import duties that would be due upon the arrival of the lot to its final destination. You are advised to speak with your local representatives in advance of the sale to understand what these costs may be. The location of the lot is clearly indicated on each lot page when viewing the site.
