ESTATE OF LINDA SULLIVAN
<BR>Conditions of sale
<BR>The following are our "Conditions of Sale" for the items listed in this catalogue to be sold by Modern Auctions, Inc. (L.A. Modern Auctions or "LAMA") for THE SULLIVAN ESTATE, December 14, 2008. We are acting as an agent on behalf of our consignors.
<BR>Payment
<BR>All sales are final. All sold lots are to be paid for on the day of the sale. We accept cash, bank wire transfers, checks, and Mastercard and Visa. PLEASE NOTE: Credit card payments are accepted only in person and will not be accepted over the phone. All payments made by personal checks will be subject to clearance before purchases can be collected. Buyers who have not purchased from Modern Auctions, Inc. (dba: Los Angeles Modern Auctions) previously are asked to provide a method of payment and/or letter of reference from a bank or creditor prior to the auction. Bank wire information is available upon request, please phone (323) 904-1950. If payment is not received by December 18th collection & storage fees will begin incurring.
<BR>Buyer's Premium
<BR>The buyer's premium is 20% and will be added to the hammer price on all property sold with Modern Auctions, Inc. For all property sold via eBay Live Auctions or their affiliate iCollector.com, the buyer’s premium is 22.5%.
<BR>eBay as a Proxy:
<BR>CAUTION: If you choose to use eBay as your proxy bidding service you ARE NOT bidding directly with Modern Auctions, Inc. until we acknowledge and accept your bid. While you may have submitted your bid to eBay prior to Sunday, December 7th, eBay DOES NOT consider submitting your bid to us until the moment the auction lot hits the block. Because of this split second transmission there is a much greater chance that your bid will not be acknowledged or executed for technical reasons. While you may think bidding online with eBay Live Auctions may serve as a good way to bid from your computer, it has been our experience that there is a much greater risk that your bid will not be acknowledged or executed for these technical reasons. Because our auction moves extremely fast there might not be enough time for your electronic bid, placed with eBay, to reach us by the time the Modern Auctions, Inc. live bidders have already acted or another bid was accepted. Modern Auctions, Inc. is not responsible for any missed bids placed with eBay.
<BR>California Sales Tax
<BR>Sales tax of 8.25% will be collected on all purchases removed from our premises or delivered within the state of California. Those holding a valid California State Resale License must register before each sale and present their valid resale number. No purchases will be released until all sales tax requirements are satisfied.
<BR>Estimates & Reserves
<BR>The estimates printed after each lot should be used as a guide only and should not be relied upon as a prediction of final selling prices. Some of the lots offered for sale carry a reserve and are confidential. This is a minimum price at which the seller has agreed to let the auctioneer sell the property.
<BR>Condition
<BR>EVERYTHING IS SOLD IN "AS-IS" CONDITION. No statement regarding condition of any item, whether it is made orally at the auction or at any other time or in writing in this catalogue shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to inspect all goods prior to the sale. We strongly encourage all bidders to request a condition report on any item before bidding. All electrical items are sold for decorative value only and should be assumed not to be working. All measurements are approximate; and art is measured by frame size unless otherwise indicated. Photographs of any lots not illustrated can be found on our website www.lamodern.com
<BR>Collection and Storage
<BR>All lots must be removed from the Sullivan Estate (17251 Oak View Drive, Encino) by 12:00 pm on Wednesday, December 17th. All property remaining after December 17th will be removed and stored in an offsite storage facility at the cost of the buyer. Purchases not removed by December 17th will be assessed a removal fee of $15 per lot, and daily storage fees of $15 per day per lot. Items in storage are not insured by Modern Auctions, Inc. Unless other arrangements are made and confirmed in writing shipping, packing, insurance, and storage concerns are the sole responsibility of the buyer. A list of shippers can be provided upon request.
<BR>Bidding
<BR>We encourage you to attend the sale in person however, if you can not attend in person we offer an absentee bidding service. For this service fill out and submit an "Bid Form". To obtain this form please call (323) 904-1950 or go to our website or to download a PDF (click here). We will not execute absentee or phone bid orders unless a signed and completed bid form has been received. All Absentee/Phone bid forms must be received by Saturday, December 13th by 5:00 p.m. via fax to (323) 904-1954. We encourage you to call after faxing to confirm we have received your bid. We kindly ask that you do not call on the day of the sale to submit bids or to see if your bids were successful. All successful absentee bids should be notified by phone or fax by December 9th. In addition, the auction prices realized will be posted the day after the sale on our website. Do not rely on any auction results (prices realized) unless published on www.lamodern.com or as provided directly by L.A. Modern Auctions.
<BR>Absentee bids are on a first come first serve basis; thus, we encourage you to submit your form ASAP. If identical absentee bids are submitted, the earliest received will take precedence. The number of phone lines available are limited so please submit your phone requests early. WE ARE ONLY OFFERING PHONE BIDDING FOR ITEMS WITH AN ESTIMATE OVER $1,000. On all absentee/phone bid forms, please leave a valid credit card number with expiration date; a deposit of 25% may be required for all absentee and phone bids. Please note that we only accept credit card payments in person. For those absentee/phone bidders who can not come in personally to pay, we will only accept either a certified check or wire transfer as a method of payment (see "Payment" notice). The party responsible for submitting the absentee or phone bid is solely responsible for the payment in full of the total invoice. We will not make any changes to an invoice.
<BR>Should a dispute arise after the sale, our sale records are conclusive. We are not responsible for failure to execute a bid and have the right to reject any bid. We reserve the right to withdraw any property before the sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal. Should an item be withdrawn, the auctioneer will make an announcement at the time the lot would have been put up for sale. In addition, the auctioneer may add lots not previously listed in the catalogue or addendum.
<BR>If the buyer does not comply with all of the notices to buyers, Modern Auctions, Inc, reserves the right to cancel the sale, hold the defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price and buyer's premium, retain any deposit, and resell the property privately or at auction without further notice. In the latter, the defaulting buyer will be held responsible for all incurred expenses, such as warehouse and transportation costs, commissions, incidentals, and shall be liable for payment of any deficiency in the purchase price. This is strictly enforced. We reserve the right to assess a late charge of 1.5% of the total purchase price per month is payment is not made in accordance with any of these conditions of sale.

MAI does not guarantee the condition, age, or any identifying characteristic used by Modern Auctions, Inc, in any descriptions such as color, method of construction, and type of materials.
