AUCTION RULES, INSTRUCTIONS and TERMS OF SALE

Registration: You are welcome to browse the website without registering or bidding. However, you must register in order to bid in this auction. You can register online or by telephone. We will confirm your name, address and phone number(s) and ask what method of payment you prefer, if successful in the auction.

How the auction ends: The auction is open for bidding to registered bidders as soon. Beginning at 11pm EST on Saturday, June 2nd, 2007 we will track the time that elapses between new bids that come in. The entire auction (all lots) will remain open for bidding until we receive no new bids on any item, either by internet or phone, for a period of 5 minutes. At that point the entire auction (all lots) will close for bidding. All items remain open for bidding until the entire auction closes at once. This ensures that everyone will have the time and ability to bid on whatever you desire without the fear of bid snipers or the auction ending while you're watching another item. We expect that the auction will run into the early morning hours so consider the options listed below, especially leaving a maximum bid and/or callback request.

Inspection / Consultation: We will be happy to give detailed information by telephone for any lots in this auction prior to Saturday, June 2nd, 2007. On June 2nd we will try to accommodate you but cannot promise that time will allow. Please ask any questions as early as possible. We will be happy to set up in-person inspections, by appointment, to any serious inquiries.

Placing a bid: You may bid by fax, email or mail until 8pm on Saturday, June 2nd, 2007. After 8pm ONLY on-line AND/OR telephone bids from registered bidders will be accepted. If an item has not yet been bid on you must bid at least the stated. If someone has already bid on that item but the current bid is below $5,000 you must bid at least 10% above the current bid. On items that are at or above $5,000 the increment will be 5%. By bidding in this auction you acknowledge having read, and that you agree to be bound by, the terms of sale and conditions, and further, accept these terms and conditions without reservation.

Minimum bids: Each item is listed with a minimum opening bid. Only a handful of items have hidden reserves and they are clearly indicated in our printed catalog by and asterisk after the minimum bid and note about the reserve and on our website by the words "Reserve Not Met" on the appropriate items. Once the reserve is reached the website will let you know by removing the RESERVE NOT MET on that item. All other items may be won at the opening bid if you are the sole bidder on that item.

Maximum, absentee & proxy bids: We expect the auction to run well into the early morning hours so we are willing to bid on your behalf, in the event that you are not able to place the bids yourself. If you are not outbid you will win the lot for the lowest possible bid, even if your maximum is higher. For example, Say that you tell us that you are willing to bid up to $4,000 on an item that has a bid of $1,500 and no one else bids, you will win the item for $1,500. If someone else were to bid $2,000 on the item you would still be the high bidder, now at $2,200 ($2,000 plus 10%). Maximum bids are kept in the strictest confidence. "Buy orders" or unlimited bids will not be accepted. You must specify the maximum you are willing to bid. All maximum bids should be made in the proper bid increments to avoid tie bids. If the maximum amount you specify is not enough to reach the next bid increment necessary, we will not execute the bid unless you authorize us to round up your bid to the next required increment (to a maximum of 10%). This applies to mail and faxed BIDS ONLY . Our online system uses a proxy bid system similar to ebay.

Checking bids: You are welcome to check on, open or raise bids as often as you wish. No bids will be accepted once the auction has been declared closed by the auctioneer.

Call backs: If you bid by phone or fax and request a call back we will be happy to give you a call back on any lot with a bid over $500, in the event that you are outbid. As we will make call backs periodically we cannot guarantee that you will get a call back immediately upon being outbid, but we will do our best to make call backs as promptly as possible. We cannot be held responsible if we are not able to reach you at the number(s) or time(s) specified. You must provide correct evening contact information and be available. Please advise us if there is a time after which we should not call.
