CONSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
This Consignment Agreement (“Agreement”) is between Star Coin & Currency, LLC (the “Auctioneer”) and the undersigned consignor (“Consignor”).
- Commission & Fees. Consignor authorizes Auctioneer to offer the consigned items for sale by online auction. Auctioneer’s consignment fee is 10% of the hammer price per lot sold, subject to a $3 minimum fee per lot deducted from sale proceeds. Occasionally we may have special discount offers. Any discount is off the hammer price only.
- No Reserve; Terms & Conditions. All lots will be sold without reserve to the highest bidder, regardless of price, and no selling price is guaranteed. Consignor acknowledges and agrees that the Terms & Conditions posted on Auctioneer’s website are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
- Non-Payment, Returns, and Chargebacks. If the auctioneer does not receive good funds from the buyer, the sale is void and the item(s) may be reoffered in a subsequent auction. If a buyer return or chargeback occurs after Consignor has been paid, Consignor agrees to promptly refund Auctioneer the net proceeds previously remitted for the affected lot(s).
- Payment to Consignor. Payment to Consignor will be made within 30 days after Auctioneer receives and clears buyer payment. In practice, auctioneer typically pays within one (1) week after the auction ends, subject to cleared funds.
- Risk of Loss; Insurance. The auctioneer is not responsible for fire, theft, loss, or damage to consigned items. Consignors are strongly encouraged to maintain insurance coverage on the items until delivery is accepted by the buyer.
- Lotting & Grouping. Auctioneer may lot, re-lot, separate items, repackage or group items in lots at Auctioneer’s sole discretion. Any grades, estimates or descriptions expressed by us is solely an opinion and not a guarantee of grade, value or selling price.
- Title; Authority; Indemnity. Consignor represents and warrants that they own and have good, marketable title to all consigned items and the authority to sell them free of all liens, claims, or encumbrances. Consignor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Auctioneer and its employees/agents from any claim, loss, or liability arising out of title defects, misdescription provided by Consignor, or Consignor’s breach of this Agreement.
- Technical Issues; Limitation of Liability. Consignor understands that online auctions may be affected by technical, server, or internet interruptions that could impact bidding or selling price. The auctioneer will not be liable for consequential or incidental damages arising from such issues.
