To bid on the Gold & Silver auctions you must be a Manion's paid member and accept Manion's simple Terms and Policies. Once you've selected an item of interest you will notice the reserve price, the required bid amount, and the bid entry box.

• Clicking on the bid button enters your bid at the reserve or next increment.
• To enter a Proxy bid you may enter an amount in excess of the reserve or required next increment. The auction program will automatically raise your bid by the bid increment rule, up to the amount of your proxy bid.
• The bid increment rule is automatic, and is set at 10% on items priced up to $499.00. Items from $499.00 to $999.00 are increased by 5%. Everything above $999.00 is increased by 2.5%.
• Your Proxy bid is strictly confidential.

• "Sniper Proof Bidding" was created by Manions, and protects both consignors and bidders. Any bid entered in the last 10 minutes of an auction will extend the closing time by an additional 10 minutes, or until there is no bid for a period of 10 minutes at the final closing. You will see a hammer count down and time remaining on each item as it closes.

STATEMENT OF POLICY:

All Post-1898 firearms must be shipped to an Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder. If you plan to bid on firearms we suggest that you send your FFL for our records in advance. Questions pertaining to FFL and regulations can be answered at Manion's or your local Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives office. Manion's strictly follows all firearms regulations. Manion's must have an original signed copy of the FFL. The firearm may only be shipped to the address on the FFL.

• International Customers purchasing firearms from Manion's are required to submit an original certified copy of your country's importation license specifying the exact firearms purchased. This is required by the U.S. Department of State which issues licenses for exportation.
• All firearms sold by Manion's International Auction House, Inc. are in used condition and are not test fired by representatives of the company. All firearms are examined to verify that they appear to be in functional condition. All firearms should be taken to a licensed gunsmith to verify all NRA safety rules concerning handling of firearms should be followed. This Statement applies to all sales regardless of venue.

The items offered for sale or auction by the Manion's International Auction House, Inc. are COLLECTOR ITEMS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST. The value of collector items is not "USE VALUE", (what the item was originally manufactured for). Example: a uniform to be worn as a uniform or clothing item. The value is "COLLECTOR VALUE", for study or collecting, not for use. These items are by nature, historical, and sometimes represent cultural views not popular today. The items offered for sale or auction by Manion's International Auction House, Inc. are for study by collectors of historical interest, not to promote, add to, or detract from any ideology or belief. Historical items from the German "Third Reich" period represent a sensitive time. The sale & display of these items is controlled in many European nations. We at Manions will follow these rules to the letter. We at Manions firmly believe the study of history is very important. The artifacts from history help us understand the events of the past more clearly. "They make History Come Alive".
