You should not rely on the Time Remaining stated. It is wrong! Instead, you should pay attention to when the Session is scheduled to start. Bidders must be manually pre-approved for each Auction Session. Requests for approval to bid must be submitted early before the start of the Session. It is unlikely that we can entertain requests after the Session has started. The auction proceeds at a rate of 120 - 150 lots per hour. The internet often cannot keep up with the pace of bidding and you may find yourself shut out from bidding. If you are bidding through the internet we recommend that you place a realistic absentee bid before the start of the auction in order to avoid disappointment. We cannot be responsible if for any reason your absentee bid is not conveyed to us. It is in the nature of internet bidding that this occasionally happens. To avoid delay book bids and floor bids will be taken first, and internet bids will only be taken when competitive bidding at the floor stops. Book bids and floor bids may take priority over tied internet bids even if the internet bids were submitted earlier. Your bid is binding on you. Appropriate action will be taken against non-paying bidders. Payment is expected within 10 days after that and interest may be charged for late payments per the auction terms. It is our policy that unsold lots will only be available for direct sale, if at all, usually at the low end of the Estimate.

Approval is at the discretion of the Auction House.

Your bid is a contract.
Place a bid only if you're serious about buying the item. If you are the successful and winning bidder, you have entered into a legally binding contract to purchase the property bid on from the seller. You should contact the seller to resolve any questions before bidding.
