BSA provides written condition reports, along with photographs or video, upon request and at no charge. These reports are prepared in good faith and represent reasonable efforts to describe the lot’s visible characteristics, including observable flaws. However, assessments of condition are inherently subjective and may reflect the personal thresholds or expectations of the viewer. Condition reports, whether written or verbal, are not forensic, comprehensive, or prepared to academic standards. The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is free from defects.

All lots are offered “as is, where is, ?? and BSA makes no warranties or guarantees regarding condition. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect lots in person or engage a qualified expert for condition-related concerns. BSA reserves the right to decline condition report or image requests at its discretion, particularly when the request is made too close to the auction or when the lot’s value does not reasonably justify the time required.
