A&S Antique Auction Co. offers the eBay Live Auctions tool as a convenience to our clients. Please be aware that in rare cases, an absentee bid submitted through the Internet may not be accepted by the auctioneer conducting the sale (if, for instance, an equivalent absentee bid was placed directly through A&S Antique Auction Co.).

The auctioneer has final discretion over which bids to accept, as described elsewhere in this document.
