buyer premium is 10%, one of the lowest in the country! We have also done our best to

auction on our behalf is Registered Auctioneer Graeme Barber.
In addition to the auction there will be vendor tables selling additional items and display
tables.

Conditions of
Conditions of Sale
Although every effort has been made to describe each lot accurately, no warranty is given,
and neither is the Auctioneer, Auction Committee, NZ Antique & Historical Arms Association,
Canterbury Branch Inc, or the vendor responsible for any lots or faults in any lots. No sale
shall be invalid and no person shall have any claim against the Canterbury Auction or its
staff because of faults or mis-descriptions. All descriptions of firearms and ammunition are
for collector’s guidance only and do not refer to their safety or suitability for use.
It is the buyer’s and seller’s responsibility to complete the necessary permits to procure
endorsed items before the buyer can take possession of these items.
Collectable Items and Militaria
Due to the large number of reproductions, including some apparently made from “original”
moulds and dies, no guarantee of authenticity can be given.
While items are catalogued with care, all purchasers, including postal bidders, must satisfy
themselves as to the authenticity of any lot.
Payment & Buyers Premium
The buyer’s premium is 10% and is payable on all purchases on the Hammer Price for
items purchased through the auction (incl. postal bids) as well as on the realised price of
items sold from passed in items. Buyers (including those bidding on behalf of others) are
entering into a binding agreement to complete the purchase upon the fall of the auctioneer’s
hammer and are personally responsible for the payment for all items they have bid on.
Bidders attending the auction will be required to pay for their purchases (including fees)
during or at the conclusion of the auction by cash, EFTPOS or credit card.
In-person buyers will only be issued with a receipt to collect their items if they have made full
payment (hammer price + premiums and fees) through the club. Paying the owner of the
item directly will not result in release of won items.
All lots become the responsibility of the purchaser at the fall of the hammer and the
Canterbury Branch of NZAHAA Inc takes no responsibility for any loss or damage incurred
after that time.
Any disputes will be settled at the discretion of the Canterbury Branch Committee.
Please note: There is a 1.85% surcharge on all payments made by Credit Card
(Mastercard and Visa only) and EFTPOS transactions at the venue.
If paying partially in cash and partially by credit or eftpos, the amount owed will be
calculated based on a solely credit/EFT-POS sale.
