All garments and accessories are offered “as is,” and Capsule Auctions makes no guarantees regarding condition, fit, or wearability. Signs of age, wear, or prior use, should be expected and the absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from imperfections. We strongly encourage prospective buyers to view items in person or request additional photos and details prior to bidding, as all sales are final.

Condition reports are based on visual inspection by the Capsule team under typical office lighting. Unless otherwise noted, items are not examined under UV light in advance of sale. We do not guarantee the content of written or verbal condition reports. Remember, all lots are previously owned and all sales are final. The absence of a condition report does not imply that there are no condition issues with the lot.

Frames, lampshades, or items described as “supplementary” are not considered integral to the value of the lot and are excluded from condition assessments. This includes any mat, mounting, glazing, hanging apparatus, case, box, or stand.
