With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Bidder Responsibility - The bidder is responsible for knowing on which item(s) he or she is bidding. If unsure, the bidder should inquire, or not bid.
