Terms and Conditions of Sale
ABSENTEE AND INTERNET BIDDERS - Invoices will be sent to succesful bidders who participate in the auction via absentee bidding or Live bidding beginning the TUESDAY after the auction. This can take several days to complete. Do not contact us before Tuesday! Auction attendees are expected to make full payment the day of the sale.

1. BIDDING - Bid by lot number as printed in catalog. All bids are handled competitively, and all lots are sold at one bid increment over the next highest bid provided they reach a reasonable bid level. It is the auctioneer's discretion as to whether or not a reasonable bid level has been obtained. The placing of a bid will constitute acceptance of these conditions of sale. The auctioneer shall regulate the bidding and in the event of a dispute the auctioneer's decision will be final. The auctioneer shall not liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid. The auctioneer shall not be liable for floor bids that are unintentionally missed or obscure. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest non-internet bid will be awarded as the winner of the lot. This is due to programming restrictions using auction software. Incorrect bid increments may not be accepted. The bid increments for this sale are as follows:
Bid Increments:
$1-99 $5.00 $100-299 $10.00
$300-999 $25.00 $100-1999 $50.00
$2000-4999 $100 $5000 + $250.00

2. ABSENTEE BIDDING - Ceiling bids will be executed for absentee bidders in accordance with Rule 1 above. For example, if an absentee bidder places a ceiling bid of $400 on an item and the under bidder, whether from the floor, internet or another absentee bidder, finished bidding at $210, the high absentee bidder would be awarded the bid at $220. The auctioneer will bid up to and including the high ceiling only if needed to out bid the under bidder. All absentee bids are handled in complete confidence.
