RECORDING NOTICE: Live auctions will be recorded either with video and/or audio as a record of events. There may also be live feeds to internet bidding sites if applicable per auction
AUTHENTICITY: We strive to represent items with all honesty ? our reputation depends on it. We are not experts in every field and often consult with those who are. Fakes and forgeries are very prevalent in all areas of antiques and collectibles. We refuse known forgeries nearly every day with best efforts to keep them off the market. Occasionally a known fake such as a Rolex may be sold but will be clearly stated in the catalog descriptions. Other items may not be easily determined such as Coach and we will report it as marked as such and such.
AUTOGRAPHS: Autographs are an exceptionally difficult field with many authentication services available. We do not believe authenticating is an exact science and are not here to engage in ?dueling experts? to dispute COA?s and will not accept a contrary opinion as grounds for canceling a sale regardless of perceived qualifications of another expert. Authentications come down to a matter of opinion. We sell everything on consignment and represent what we know about an item including any authentication that comes with an item. We encourage bidders to do their own research. It is our firm policy that ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
JEWELRY & WATCHES: A New Day Auctions does not guarantee any information contained in outside appraisals. A New Day Auctions will provide opinion but no guarantees with the following guidelines:
WEIGHTS: All weights are for the entire piece including all stones and workings and are guaranteed within 10% using a Ohaus digital scale.
STONES: tested using a Presidium Duo gem tester.
GOLD & PLATINUM: tested using a Auracle tester or acid test if requested by the consignor.
SILVER: rare earth magnet and acid test if requested by consignor.
NOTE: Markings are reported but are not always reliable due to many fakes on the market. Heavy plating is often seen on items marked as 925, and various gold marks that are made outside of the US. Scratch testing/acid testing of these items can damage them and is not usually done.
