MEI Terms of Sale
Terms

Clear terms before a blade is held.

Sale

These terms keep the catalogue selective without making the buyer guess. If a condition, attribution, payment, or shipping point matters, it is named before money moves.

Authenticity

Each listed blade carries contemporary papers and a named second opinion. If a material attribution error is found before transfer, the sale stops.

Holds

Available pieces can be held after a written fit check. Holds are not used to create pressure or start bidding.

Payment

Payment method and schedule are agreed in writing before invoice. Bank transfer is preferred for completed acquisitions.

Inspection

Pieces sold by dossier include a three-day inspection period after receipt, provided the blade remains in the condition delivered.

Returns

Return shipment, insurance, and timing must be agreed before the blade is sent back. Returned blades must travel by the same standard of insurance.

Disclosure

Known condition issues, later work, restoration needs, and gaps in provenance are named before a hold is accepted.
