AUCTION PROCEDURES & CONDITIONS OF SALE: Please read the following Auction Procedures and Conditions of Sale closely. By placing a bid in this sale, you acknowledge and agree that you are bound by these Auction Procedures and Conditions of Sale.

MINIMUM BIDS, BIDDING INCREMENTS AND MAXIMUM BIDS: Each lot in the auction has a Minimum Bid (designated in the printed catalogue and online as “MB”). When bidding, you will be able to view the current high bid for each lot. If you select a Maximum Bid, the auction program will bid incrementally on your behalf one bid at a time, up to but not exceeding your “maximum” bid amount, with the intention of winning the item at the lowest possible price.

RESERVES: A Reserve price is a minimum bid below which the lot will not be sold. Accordingly, a "reserve not met" message will only appear for bidders who have placed a bid on a given reserved lot. Additionally, if the reserve price is not met at the conclusion of the auction, the lot will not be sold. Reserve bid prices are not publicly available and will not be published. SCP may implement this reserve by executing bids on behalf of the consigner and may place a bid up to the amount one increment below the reserve, by placing successive bids if necessary. No reserve bids placed by SCP will be executed at a level greater than one bid below the actual reserve. Any lot that had an unmet reserve at the conclusion of the auction will show as "UNSOLD" in the online catalog. Reserves when in place will be pre-determined and set within the auction software prior to the start of the auction. Maximum bids will be treated as straight bids on items with reserves until the reserve price is met. If you place a maximum bid in excess of a reserve amount that has not yet been met, your bid will automatically be placed at the reserve price. All bids placed after a reserve has been met will continue with normal bidding increments unless straight bids are placed by a bidder.

MY BIDS: All of your bids within your account will be managed and viewable in the "My Bids” section of the site. After you are logged in to the auction using your login and password, My Bids will be a clickable tab on the horizontal navigation bar. In “My Bids,” you will be able to view a list of all lots that you have bid on, the current high bid for each lot you have bid on, whether or not you are the current high bidder, and your Maximum Bids on each lot (for lots you have placed a “Maximum” Bid).

HAMMER PRICE AND THE BUYER’S PREMIUM: The successful or winning bid price is also referred to as the hammer price. A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the winning bid or hammer price and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium is equal to 20% of the winning bid price. For example, in the event that you win a lot with a successful bid price (hammer price) of $1,000, then your total cost for that lot will be equal to the $1,000 successful bid price plus the 20% Buyer’s Premium. In this example, the total cost for that lot will equal $1,200 (plus shipping, handling, insurance and sales tax, if applicable).
