Refund Policy
Last Updated: [November 5, 2025]
General Policy
Due to the collectible and often irreplaceable nature of our inventory, all sales are final.
This applies to everything listed for sale on the website.
Once an item is purchased, ownership transfers to the buyer and the sale cannot be cancelled or refunded except where described below.
Exception — Misrepresentation or Listing Error
We stand behind the accuracy of our listings.
A return may be accepted only if the item was materially misrepresented, meaning:
-
Incorrect date or model association
-
Fake item proven counterfeit (unless listed under item description as a copy)
-
Major undisclosed flaws or damage
-
Authenticity materially different than described
Normal wear, age-appropriate patina, printing variations, handling marks, and small defects typical for vintage items do not qualify as misrepresentation.
Inspection Window
You must notify us of any issue within 7 days of delivery.
Requests after 7 days cannot be honored due to collectible market volatility and handling changes post-delivery.
Condition on Return
Items approved for return must be:
• In the same condition received
• With all packaging, certificates, provenance paperwork, and accessories
• Shipped back using insured, trackable method
We reserve the right to deny refunds if the item has been:
• Handled excessively
• Opened improperly (for sealed items)
• Damaged after delivery
• Altered, cleaned, or restored
Authenticity Disputes
We take authenticity seriously.
If an item is alleged to be non-authentic:
1. Buyer must provide written documentation from a recognized expert or authority
2. Refund issued only upon verified return and review
Concours Collective’s responsibility is limited to the purchase price.
Damage in Transit
If the package arrives damaged:
• You must notify us within 48 hours
• Retain packaging and provide photos for carrier claim
• Refunds depend on carrier insurance claim approval
(insurance highly recommended for collectible items)
Non-Refundable Circumstances
Refunds are not provided for:
-
Buyer’s remorse
-
Change in market value after purchase
-
Found a better price elsewhere
-
Incorrect shipping address provided by buyer
-
Delays by carriers or customs
Store Credit
At our discretion, we may offer store credit in unique cases, but this is not guaranteed.
Return Shipping
Buyer is responsible for return shipping & insurance unless we made an error.
We are not responsible for returned items lost or damaged during transit.
Chargebacks
Any dispute filed without contacting us first will be challenged with:
• Order records
• Communications
• Listing descriptions
• Shipment & delivery evidence
Collectors’ markets require clear, documented transactions — we protect both parties.
