The auction takes place over TWO DAYS. Bidding is divided into three stages. You may take part in the way that’s best for you.

ADVANCE BIDDING

You may submit advance bids by mail or fax using the form included in this catalog. The dates for the closing of advanced bidding will be announced prior to the the start of the auction. No phone bids will be accepted during this period. Top bids must be specified and will be used to bid up to but not beyond the amount necessary to secure the item. Bids of like amount will be entered in order of date received. Advance bidding is offered as a convenience and we are not responsible for the failure of bids to arrive or errors in their execution.

OPEN BIDDING

On the first day of the auction, bidding is open on all lots. Bids are accepted by telephone only. Bids will not be accepted by fax. You may call any time from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to place a bid or ask about current bids, and you may call and bid or inquire as often as you like. No bids will be accepted after 6:00 p.m. In order to be eligible to continue bidding in the Closed Bidding session on the second day, you must place initial bids on this day or have already placed advance bids. Bidding closes strictly at 6:00 p.m.

CLOSED BIDDING

Bidders may continue to bid only on lots on which they have already placed bids. Bids continue to be accepted by telephone only. Bidding opens at 10:00 a.m. but has no specified closing time. Bidding does NOT close at 6:00 p.m. on this last day, but continues until top bids have been reached and all lots are closed.
