If the object is unsold during the auction, the highest bidder will be tied to his bid for a period of three weeks. The consignor has to agree to such a sale, to the highest bidder, in sufficient time so that bidder can be notified within the three week period.

4. If three days from the date of accepting the consignment agreement the consignor has not contacted AAC, the consignor then agrees to the estimate in the AAC consignment agreement.

The calculation for this will be from the minimum price specified in the consignment agreement, or as alternatively set by AAC in the catalog.
