This is a web, mail, phone, fax and email auction. Bids are accepted from the time you receive the catalog until the closing time of the auction. Bidders are urged to place their bids early. Only bids that are equal or higher than the minimum bid will be accepted.
You can give us maximum bids. We will keep bidding for you at 10% above any other bid, up to your limit. For example, if your maximum bid is $5,000, and the present bid is $2,000, we will bid $2,200 for you. If the bid stays at $2,200, you win. If the item gathers bids above that, we will keep bidding for you at 10% above the other bid, up to $5,000. You can check your bids anytime by contacting us. Indicate your maximum bid in the “Max Bid” column of the bid sheet.
We allow post-auction reply bids for last day leaders. This means there is no need to wait until the last moments to submit your bids. If you are outbid on the last day, we will give you the chance (two hours from outbid notification) to raise your bid and win your item.
Once the auction begins we will respond to all information inquiries, and attempt to give estimates on lots when possible.
During the last week of the auction we will be available to take your phone calls, and will return your inquiries within 24 hours. We will be able to give more accurate closing estimates at this time.
The last day of the auction is always very busy. If your phone call goes through to our voicemail, please leave a number where you can be immediately contacted. In general, you are more likely to get a fast response through email or fax. Of course, you can always see the current bid amount on any lot, and place bids, online via this website.
Once the auction ends you will be notified within 48 hours regarding all items on which you bid. This notification will include all applicable shipping charges, premiums, and taxes, and will be sent via fax or email unless you have instructed us otherwise.
