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 Our catalog descriptions and oral/written statements made outside the catalog, including advertising material, regarding items included in the catalog with respect to their history, condition, author, artist, age, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance?are our opinion and should not necessarily be relied upon as 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 We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. dollars. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. PHONE BIDDING If a prospective buyer 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 by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with 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 Items in the case of a forced sale (i.e. per a court-ordered settlement) or in special 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. AUCTIONEER?S DISCRETION The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. This auction permits bids to be placed by the auctioneer, an employee of the auctioneer, or the seller or an agent on the seller?s behalf and is permitted to do this by providing this disclosure to you the bidder. SUCCESSFUL BID The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion.
