is responsible for the amount of the successful bid, the buyer’s premium, applicable taxes, and other
charges provided for in the Terms of Sale. Taxes: Applicable taxes shall include Massachusetts sales tax
(6.25%), use tax, excise tax, and other taxes or levies. Only valid resale certificates are accepted as proof

If payment is not received within thirty (30) days of sale, Fontaine’s Auction Gallery, reserves the right
to impose from the date of sale a late charge of 1 1/2% a month of the total purchase price and deny
all future credit. The purchaser will pay for and remove the purchased Property from the premises of
Fontaine’s Auction Gallery within (30) thirty days of the sale. If the purchased Property is not removed
in this time, the purchaser will thereafter be assessed a $10 per lot storage charge per day. If any of the
Terms of Sales are not fully complied with by the purchaser, the purchaser will be in default without
need of notice by Fontaine Auction Gallery. The purchaser shall be liable to Fontaine Auction Gallery
and the consigner for the total purchase price, including all premiums, charges, and expenses specified
in the Term of Sales. Interest shall accure at the rate of 18% per annum commencing with the date of
the auction.
4. Qualifying to Bid-New Buyers: If you are not known to us, you may be asked to furnish identification,
a valid credit card number, and, possibly, credit references. If you are acting as another’s agent or
principal, we may request a letter of authorization. If paying by check, you must establish credit at least
three (3) business days prior to the auction. A letter from your bank, presented before the sale, may also
be accepted, at our discretion, although we may retain your purchase(s) until the check clears. If you are
successful and do not remit payment within thirty (30) days, the balance will be charged to your credit
card together with such charges set forth in these terms of sale.
5. Payment, Collection, and Shipping Responsibilities of Purchaser: On the fall of the auctioneer’s
hammer, title to the Property immediately transfers to the successful bidder who, in turn, becomes the
purchaser of the Property. The purchaser assumes full risk and responsibility for the purchased Property,
including all costs and expenses of handling, shipping, insurance, taxes, export, and otherwise, and is
liable for the full purchase price, plus the buyer’s premium, applicable taxes, and any other associated
expenses. Collection of Property and Storage Charges: The purchaser will pay for and remove the
purchased Property from the premises of Fontaine’s Auction Gallery within thirty (30) days of the sale.
If the purchased Property is not removed in this time, the purchaser will thereafter be assessed a $10
per lot storage charge per day. Fontaine’s Auction Gallery may, at its discretion, remove the purchased
Property to public storage at the purchaser’s risk and expense. All associated charges will be added to the
total invoice and must be paid in full before the Property will be released.
6. Bidding Increments:
1 – 100 = 10
100 – 500 =25
500 – 1000 =50
1000 – 2500 = 100
2500 – 5000 = 250
5000 – 10000=500
10000 – 25000= 1000
25000 – 50000=2500
50000 – 100000=5000
The auctioneer has the sole and exclusive power, discretion, and authority to regulate the bidding and
its increments.
7. Absentee Bids: We accept absentee bids by phone, by mail, in person, or by fax. Absentee and Phone
bids are requested no later than 5:00 p.m. on the day before the auction. If you fax your absentee bids,
please call us to confirm receipt. All absentee bidding is handled as though you are in attendance. We
will buy all designated lots for you at the bidding increment just above where competition stops. Please
check and comply with these increments. All unreserved bidding starts at 50% of the low estimate unless
there are two or more competing absentee bids at a price higher than that. (For example, a lot estimated
at $500–$750, with no reserve, will normally open at $250. If there are two absentee bids for $400
and $600, the lot must sell for $425, even if there is no further bidding from the phone, later absentee
ballots, or from the live audience. In such a case, we will open the bidding at close to the low estimate.)
“Plus” bids: Because of our structured bidding increments, it is more likely that several people will leave
identical bids. Since an earlier bid wins in the event of a tie, a later bid with an added “plus” bid to the
next increment would win the piece. All absentee bidder names and bids are held in strictest confidence,
disclosed only in the event of a question after the sale. Absentee bidding is a convenience offered to our
customers and, while we will make every effort to execute your instructions, Fontaine’s Auction Gallery
is not liable or responsible for any errors or failure to do so.
8. Telephone Bids: Lines are available on a first-come, first-served basis – please reserve as soon as you
are able. We must hear from you no later than 12 noon on the day before the auction. Determine the lots
on which you most want to bid before reserving the lines. If you need condition reports, please request
and review them prior to reserving phone lines. We will call you at one phone number ONLY during the
auction. If you are unsure of where you or your agent will be during the sale, we recommend you leave absentee bids. All requests for overseas telephone lines must be accompanied by absentee bids,
which will be executed on the buyer’s behalf, should there be any problems with telephone connections.
Your phone number and lots will be confirmed the day before the auction. Please do not change your
phone number after your phone lines have been confirmed; if you do, Fontaine’s Auction Gallery will
not be responsible for any breakdown in communications. We strongly recommend land lines, as, to date,
they are more reliable than cellular phones. One of the reasons people bid by phone is to monitor how
much they’re spending. However, if you bid by phone, you must be willing to bid to the low estimate
should the bidding go that far. There is no exception to this rule. You may, however, leave absentee bids
for any amount. Bids are placed on the telephone at the discretion of Fontaine’s Auction Gallery, and at
the caller’s risk. Telephone bidding is a convenience offered to our customers and, while we will make
every effort to execute your instructions, Fontaine’s Auction Gallery is not liable or responsible for any
errors or failure to do so. All telephone bidders hereby consent to their telephone conversations with
Fontaine’s Auction Gallery being monitored and recorded.
9. Auctioneer’s Determination Final: A lot will be sold to the highest bidder as determined in the sole
and exclusive judgment of the auctioneer. The auctioneer will also have the sole and exclusive power
and authority to a) resolve any disputes between bidders, b) determine whether to pass or re-offer a lot
for sale c) reject or challenge any bid or advance in the bidding, and d) otherwise regulate the bidding
and its increments.
10. Estimates: The estimates provided in this Catalogue are our opinion of the price that a willing buyer
would pay for the Property at auction, based, where possible, on prices paid for comparable items sold in
the past. They are neither a representation nor a prediction of the actual selling price that will be realized
at auction, post-auction sale, or upon resale, which may be substantially different from these estimates.
We shall not be liable in any way for such a difference.
