ADVICE TO BIDDERS

1. Carefully read the Conditions of Sale.
2. Pre-sale estimates are provided by the auctioneers for the convenience of our customers. They are not meant to be taken as a guide to the value of an item, but as a guide to its expected selling price. Estimates are prepared well in advance of a sale and are subject to revision.
3. Carefully examine any item that you might consider bidding on for any variation from the catalog description. If you are unfamiliar with auction procedure or terminology or would like clarification of a catalog description, please ask for assistance from our staff members.
4. Please read the Order Bid Procedure if you wish to leave an absentee bid.
5. A 15% buyer's premium will be added to the hammer price of all property sold, to be paid as part of the purchase price. The buyer's premium is 15% of the final bid price up to and including $100,000, and 10% of the final bid price over $100,000.
6. Eldred's reserves the right to refuse to issue, or to revoke, bidding credentials, or to reject any bid, if deemed necessary and proper in its sole discretion, for the conduct of the auction process, and to insure fairness to consignors and other bidders.
