5. Our auctions are offered simultaneously on multiple proxy bidding sites, we offer direct absentee bids with Fairhill Auction LLC, we may offer live floor bidding, we may offer live telephone bidding. In the event of duplicate high bids, the earliest bid received will be the winner as determined by the bidding records. Absentee bids placed through any third-party proxy site, such as iCollector.com, etc., are delivered to the auctioneer by the auction clerk when the lot is opened for bidding by the auctioneer and not before, hence these bids will not be considered as an early absentee bid by the auctioneer. Only absentee bids submitted through our website at Fairhillauction.com or directly by phone or email, will be considered as early absentee bids and tracked by time and date stamps. If you need clarification contact us before bidding.
6. Some lots may carry a reserve at or below the low estimate, any lot that does not meet the reserve will not be sold. Reserves and maximum bids, will not be disclosed. You may see a current high bid on iCollector, which is only current information for iCollector, not taking into consideration competing bids received by other proxy bidding sites, or bids received directly by Fairhill Auction LLC. The current bid status will be announced by the auctioneer when a lot is opened for live bidding.
7. All lots are sold as-is, where-is, unless otherwise stated in the lot description. If you have questions please email us at bid@fairhillauction.com before bidding. We are not responsible for typographical errors in the description, the description is only provided as a service. All descriptions are personal opinions and not a statement of fact.

9. Any lot containing five or more items is not subject to return for any reason.
10. Bidders are advised that we are not selling frames or framing glass, and therefore the condition of the frame or the glass shall not be considered a reason for return. Shipping costs for framed items may vary greatly depending on the size and/or weight of the frame, and at times these charges may be more than the hammer plus buyer's premium. Customers may request us to remove autographs, artwork, etc. from its frame to reduce shipping charges. We will accommodate customers in that respect for an additional charge of $10.00 per framed item, please note such service will be undertaken at our sole discretion and only after full payment has been received. Fairhill Auction LLC will exercise care in removing items from frames, but this is done ENTIRELY at the risk of the buyer and the buyer fully indemnifies Fairhill Auction LLC for any damage that may occur as a result of any attempt by us to remove the item from a frame, mat, glass, etc.
