When you register to bid, you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 business days. We may require bank or other financial/personal references to approve your registration.



LOT CONDITION



All lots are sold ?as is? in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, we make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot?s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalog description, advertising material, written/oral communication, or a condition report is our opinion and is not necessarily a full account of condition. Catalog photos may depict items differently than they appear in-hand.



VIEWING LOTS



We offer in-person pre-auction viewings of items by appointment after any catalog has been made available online on FleischersAuctions.com or elsewhere. We strongly encourage all interested bidders or their representatives to make an appointment so that they can conduct an inspection of condition in-person before bidding.



LOT DESCRIPTIONS



Any description and/or statement made by Fleischer?s Auctions or any company representative regarding an item's authenticity, provenance, history, condition, creator, age, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibitions, or publications constitute our opinion only and should not be treated as definitive fact.



WITHDRAWAL




We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.





ABSENTEE BIDS

For the convenience of clients unable to attend the auction in person, we will make reasonable efforts to execute written bids submitted at least 24 hours before the sale. All bids must be in

U.S. dollars. In the event of identical written bids on the same lot that constitute the highest bids, the lot will be sold to the bidder whose bid was first received and accepted. While we provide written bid execution as a complimentary service, it is subject to our other commitments during the sale. We assume no liability for failure to execute any written bid or for any errors or omissions related to such bids.



RESERVE PRICES



All property sold at auction by Fleischer?s Auctions is sold by method of reserve auction. Many lots have a reserve (minimum) price they must attain in order to sell.

PHONE BIDDING



If a bidder makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of a sale, we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding for any given lot by telephone. Fleischer?s Auctions is not always able to facilitate phone bidding and reserves the right to decline phone bidding requests. We assume no liability for any failure to establish telephone contact or for any errors or omissions that may occur during telephone bidding.

ONLINE BIDDING



The auctioneer will accept bids from online bidders that use the online bidding platform bid.fleischersauctions.com and third-party bidding platforms. Third-party bidding platforms include, but are not limited to, liveauctioneers.com and invaluable.com.

Both our in-house bidding platform bid.fleischersauctions.com and third-party bidding platforms execute bids competitively online on behalf of bidders, both absentee before the sale and during the sale itself. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole discretion where the bidding should start and what the bid increments should be. Online bidding software only allows online bidders to bid at fixed increments determined by the auctioneer. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction.



ONLINE ABSENTEE BIDS



Before an auction begins, online bidders can place absentee bids through bid.fleischersauctions.com and third-party bidding platforms. In the event of a tie absentee bid between bidders using different bidding platforms when a lot opens, it is the sole discretion of the auctioneer which online bidder he/she recognizes as the high bidder. If you notice after a sale that your online absentee bid is the same amount that an item sold for, and you are not recognized as having won the item, your bid was likely tied for the high amount but the other bid was recognized first by the auctioneer. The best way to avoid this occurrence is by bidding live, either online or over the phone.








BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER

The auctioneer may, at his/her sole discretion, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller.



SELLER BIDDING



Sellers are permitted to bid on their consigned property offered at auction in the case of a forced sale (i.e. per a court-ordered settlement) or in limited circumstances to establish a reserve.

Reserves should be set with Fleischer?s Auctions before the auction. Shill bidding, or bids placed in bad faith to artificially raise the sale price of an item, are illegal and strictly prohibited.



FLEISCHER?S AUCTIONS IS SOLE DETERMINER

In the event of any dispute after the sale, our sale record is conclusive.



AUCTIONEER BIDDING
