Conditions of Sale
Important Note On Internet Absentee Bid:
Items Offered Are Part Of A Live Auction At Philip Weiss Auction's Gallery. Items Are Offered In Numerical Order And Are Auctioned At A Pace Of Approximately 75-100 Lots Per Hour. Absentee Bids Left On Live Auction websites ARE NOT The Same As Bids Left With The Auction House Directly. They Are Executed From A Proxy Computer Terminal In The Room Against Other Internet Bidders. Other Competitive Bids Include Bidders On The Telephone, In The Room, And Absentee Bids With The Auctioneer. In Some Cases Tie Bids May Occur Between On-line Absentee Bids And Other Bidders. Tie Bids Are Broken By The Order In Which The Auctioneer Accepts The Bids NOT When The Bids Were Entered With the webcast service. For Example, If There Is A Tie Bid With A Live Present Bidder And A Proxibid Live Bidder, Preference Will Be Give To The Live Bidder Present. In All Cases The Auctioneer Has Final Discretion Over Which Bids To Accept. We Are Not Responsible For Inadvertent Bids, Or Problems Arising Due To Internet Connections, Incorrect Computer Settings Or Other Website Related Problems Beyond Our Control.
