1. BIDDING - Bid by lot number as printed in the 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 the 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 be 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 chosen as the winner of the lot. Incorrect bid increments will not be accepted.
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 or another absentee bidder, finished bidding at $210, the high absentee bidder would be awarded the lot at $220. The Auctioneer will bid up to and including the high ceiling only if needed to outbid the under bidder. All absentee bids are handled in complete confidence.
