Terms of Service and Conditions

Effective date: November 10, 2026

These Terms of Service and Conditions of Sale (the “Terms”) govern your use of taurusauctions.com and any bidding, buying, or consigning with RCC Collectibles LLC, doing business as Taurus Auctions (“Taurus Auctions,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing the Site, registering, or placing a bid, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or bid. Terms announced for a specific auction or printed in its catalog become part of these Terms for that sale and control if they conflict.

1. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter binding contracts to register or bid. You agree to provide accurate, current information and to keep your login details confidential. You are responsible for all activity and all bids placed under your account. We may require a credit card, deposit, or other verification before approving you to bid, and we may refuse, suspend, or cancel any registration or account at our sole discretion.

2. Bidding

Every bid is a binding contract. A bid, once placed, cannot be retracted. The highest bid accepted by us when a lot closes becomes a binding contract to buy that lot under these Terms.
Who wins. The highest bidder, whether in the salesroom, absentee, by telephone, or online, as acknowledged and recorded by the auctioneer, is the buyer.
Our discretion. We may refuse admission to our facility, reject any bid, refuse to recognize any bidder, withdraw lots before the auction begins, divide or combine lots, reopen bidding, and resolve any dispute between bidders. Our decision is final.
Reserves. Many lots are offered without reserve, but Taurus Auctions or its consignors may set minimum selling prices on select lots. We may place bids on a consignor’s behalf to protect a reserve.
Online bidding. Online bidding depends on internet service and third-party software. We are not responsible for a bidder’s own online bidding errors or mishaps, or for bids that are lost, delayed, or not received, or for any interruption, error, or failure of the Site or bidding platform. If an error affects a sale, we may cancel the lot, re-offer it, or void the sale.
Errors in listings. If a lot is listed with an obvious error in its price, description, or estimate, we may correct the error, withdraw the lot, or cancel the sale.

3. Buyer’s Premium, Taxes, and Total Price

The purchase price payable by the buyer is the final bid (hammer price) plus a buyer’s premium and any applicable taxes. Unless an auction’s listing or catalog states otherwise, the buyer’s premium is 25% of the hammer price. Bids placed through third-party platforms may carry an additional platform fee. The buyer also pays all shipping, handling, and insurance charges.

Purchases are subject to applicable sales tax unless you are a registered dealer or reseller exempt from sales tax, in which case a completed, valid resale certificate must be provided to Taurus Auctions before the time of purchase.

4. Payment

Payment in full is due within five (5) days of the end of the auction, by major credit card, bank wire, or cash. No lot may be removed from our facility until payment has been received and cleared. Title to a lot passes to the buyer only after we receive full payment in cleared funds.

Credit card authorization. By registering with a credit card, or by providing card information to pay an invoice through our payment portal or a signed authorization form, you authorize Taurus Auctions to charge that card for your purchases, including the buyer’s premium, taxes, and shipping, and for any invoice left unpaid after the payment deadline. You certify that you are an authorized user of the card, accept full responsibility for ensuring payment, acknowledge that all sales are final, and agree not to dispute or charge back any payment that corresponds to these Terms. You must notify us immediately if the card is no longer valid.

Non-payment. If you do not pay in full within five (5) days, a non-paying bidder dispute may be filed and opened with the bidding platform. We may also, without further notice, do any or all of the following: cancel the sale and re-offer the lot, holding you responsible for any shortfall and resale costs; charge your card on file; refuse your future bids; and pursue collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and collection costs.

5. Condition: All Items Sold “As Is, Where Is”

All lots are sold “AS IS, WHERE IS,” with all faults and without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

All descriptions, including photographs, condition, authenticity, provenance, artist, origin, and measurements, are the opinion of Taurus Auctions. They are believed to be accurate, but neither Taurus Auctions, the auctioneer, nor the consignor makes any warranty or representation of any kind about the merchandise offered. All measurements and weights are approximate.
It is the bidder’s responsibility to confirm all description information on their own before bidding. The absence of a condition note does not mean an item is free of damage, wear, restoration, or defects. Photographs may not show every flaw, and colors may vary from screen to screen.
Taurus Auctions is not responsible for any omissions or errors in a description, or in any verbal description given by the auctioneer on the day of the auction or by any employee before or after the auction.
Estimates are shown as a low-to-high range and reflect our opinion of fair auction value only. They are not a guarantee, prediction, or appraisal of value. You, the bidder, decide the final price.
Unless a lot is expressly sold with a stated, guaranteed authentication, we make no representation as to authorship, origin, authenticity, age, provenance, or the genuineness of any signature or autograph. Third-party grading or authentication certificates are the opinion of that third party alone.
Mechanical, electrical, and battery-operated items are sold without warranty of function unless the listing expressly states otherwise.
Preview. We encourage all bidders to preview items in person. Additional photographs, condition reports, and in-hand evaluations are available on request; please call our office to arrange.

All sales are final. No refunds, no returns, and no recourse, for any reason, including condition, description, or authenticity. Any exception is at the sole discretion of Taurus Auctions.

6. Pickup, Shipping, and Risk of Loss

Pickup. Paid lots must be picked up within 14 days of the auction date. Pickup is by appointment, Sunday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM; call or email to schedule. Taurus Auctions is not responsible or liable for lots paid for and not picked up within 14 days. Uncollected lots are subject to a storage fee of $10 per item, per day, starting after the 14th day, and a restocking fee of up to $100 per lot, and lots not collected within 60 days may be treated as abandoned and resold or disposed of, with proceeds applied to amounts you owe.

Inspection at pickup. By leaving the pickup site, you or your agent acknowledge that you have received all of your items and are satisfied with them. No claims are accepted after items are removed from our premises, as condition cannot be verified once items are released into your possession. Taurus Auctions is not liable for damaged or missing items after they are signed out and removed.

Shipping. Where shipping is available, we pack items with care and ship only through professional, insured shipping services. Once payment is received, your order is added to our shipping queue and typically ships within 3 to 5 business days. Shipping, packing, handling, and insurance are at the buyer’s expense. Taurus Auctions is not responsible for items once they leave our facility; risk of loss passes to the buyer at that point, and any claim for shipping damage or loss must be made with the carrier.

7. Consignments

Items consigned to us for sale are governed by the separate written consignment agreement between us and the consignor, including commission rates, reserves, and settlement terms. A consignor warrants that they own the property, have the right to sell it, and that it is free of liens and claims and lawfully imported.

8. Website Content and Intellectual Property

All content on the Site, including photographs, catalog descriptions, text, graphics, logos, video, and the overall design, is owned by or licensed to Taurus Auctions and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and print content for your own personal, non-commercial use in connection with our auctions. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from any Site content, including using our photographs or descriptions in your own listings or on other websites, without our prior written permission. You may not use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or collect content or data from the Site.

9. Information on This Site Is Not Professional Advice

The descriptions, estimates, articles, and other information on the Site are provided for general information only. They are not an appraisal for insurance, tax, estate, or legal purposes, not a certificate of authenticity, and not investment, financial, or legal advice. Prices realized for past sales do not predict future values. You should not rely on any content on the Site as an approved or certified opinion, and you should consult a qualified independent professional before making decisions based on it. We do not guarantee that the information on the Site is complete, current, or error-free, and we may change it at any time without notice.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: bid without the intent or ability to pay; manipulate bidding or collude with other bidders; interfere with the Site, its security, or other users; use another person’s account; post false or unlawful content; or use the Site for any illegal purpose.

11. Communications

By registering, bidding, or submitting your contact information, you agree that we may contact you by email about your account, your bids and purchases, and upcoming auctions and items that match your interests, as described in our Privacy Policy. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Taurus Auctions and its owners, employees, agents, and consignors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, arising from the Site, any auction, or any lot. In any case, our total liability to you for any claim relating to a lot will not exceed the purchase price you actually paid for that lot, and our total liability for any other claim will not exceed $100.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Taurus Auctions and its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your use of the Site, your bids or purchases, or your breach of these Terms.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms, the Site, or any auction will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Bergen County, New Jersey, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

15. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, any terms for a specific auction, and any written consignment agreement, are the entire agreement between you and us. We may update these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on the Site; changes apply to auctions beginning after they are posted.
