CATALOG ESTIMATES
As a convenience to our clients, we furnish pre-sale estimates for all items offered for sale in the auction. These estimates are approximate valuations and should be taken as educated projections based upon the current market, comparable items and recent sales, not as actual “prices.” Bidding will begin at the Auctioneer’s discretion and may start at one-third to one-half the estimate. The final winning bid may be less than, or more than, any printed or advertised estimate.
BUYERS’ PREMIUM
The purchase price paid by a buyer shall be the sum of the final floor bid plus an 18% buyer’s premium. The premium of 18% applies only to individual invoices which total $10,000 or less. In the event that a buyer’s single invoice totals $10,001 or more, the buyer’s premium shall then be the sum of the final bid, plus a 15% buyer’s premium. Purchases from both days may be added together to reach $10,001 or more so long as the buyer checks out and pays all at once. The buyer’s premium is 20% for all internet sales.
