When placing your bids, keep in mind that most lots in this auction have RESERVE PRICING, meaning that the starting bid may or may not be the actual price at which the item can/will be sold; conversely, many lots will also be sold WITHOUT RESERVE PRICING, meaning the starting price is the lowest price at which that particular item can/will be sold. **To help avoid confusion when bidding, all lots will be designated either RESERVE PRICING or NO RESERVE prominently in each listing.**
3. No lots will be released until payment in full has been made. Payment (in U.S. funds) may be made via personal or money order, via credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express), PayPal or Bank Wire Transfer.

Most of the lots in this auction have a reserve price, meaning that a certain price must be met before the auctioneer can sell the item. Several lots will also sell without reserve pricing, meaning that the starting price is the actual lowest price the auctioneer can/will sell the item. To avoid confusion, each lot will be designated as RESERVE or NO RESERVE.
12. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may bid further on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, by placing successive bids for any lot, or by placing bids in response to other bidders. The auctioneer may accept or decline any bid, or challenge to any bid, as he in his sole discretion shall determine.
