Roshon’s Auction Service makes every attempt to uphold the highest standards in the auction industry. Our goal is to consistently deliver the highest level of products and services to our customers. Our catalog descriptions represent what we have deemed appropriate to identify each object. Please take time to familiarize yourself with each item and make your bidding decisions accordingly.
It is the bidder’s responsibility to inspect, research, and determine the authenticity of all items on which bids are placed. Determination of age, materials, condition, quality, authenticity, classification, purported history and perceived value, regardless of what is written or said by Roshon’s Auction Service, are the sole responsibility of the bidder/buyer.
If you are not able to make what is a comfortable decision for yourself about an item, or if you believe an item may be incorrectly portrayed in our catalog, we suggest that you not bid on it.
Items may be considered for return under very specific conditions. It is important that you pay for and acquire your item in a timely fashion.

The buyer must have the item reviewed by an independent party who is approved by Roshon’s Auction Service, and is a recognized expert within the field of the item in question.
The expert provides a written report with specific and detailed reasons as to why the item is not as it was represented to be. The written report must be submitted to Roshon’s Auction Service.
Our descriptions include what we deem to accurately portray an item’s general condition. However, opinions about condition can vary and as such, the auctioneer shall make the final determination in the possible event of a refund.
The timeline for this process is 30 days from the date of the auction, regardless if the buyer has picked up self shipping items or not. Unless this timeline is extended by Roshon’s Auction Service after 30 days, All Sales Are Final.
Once Roshon’s Auction Service has accepted the ruling of the expert/s, the buyer is to return the item to Roshon’s Auction Service at buyer’s expense. In order to be eligible for a refund, the item must be returned in the same condition it was when it left our possession.
