BIDDING - Bid by lot number as printed in the catalog. All bids are handled competitively, and all lots are sold at one bid increment over the next highest bid provided they reach a reasonable bid level.

The Auctioneer shall regulate the bidding and in the event of a dispute the Auctioneer's decision will be final. The Auctioneer shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid. The Auctioneer shall not be liable for floor bids that are unintentionally missed or obscure. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest non-internet bid will be chosen as the winner of the lot. Incorrect bid increments will not be accepted. 2. ABSENTEE BIDDING - Ceiling bids will be executed for absentee bidders in accordance with Rule 1 above. For example, if an absentee bidder places a ceiling bid of $400 on an item and the under bidder, whether from the floor or another absentee bidder, finished bidding at $210, the high absentee bidder would be awarded the lot at $220. The Auctioneer will bid up to and including the high ceiling only if needed to outbid the under bidder. All absentee bids are handled in complete confidence.

Lots containing for than ten stamps are not returnable for any reason. Lots containing ten or more stamps are only returnable as future consignments and only upon approval of Fusco Auctions.

Lots that are not returnable for any reason are lots when bidding errors have been made, for centering when stamp(s) are pictured which includes photographed on the internet, lots from buyers who have had the opportunity to examine them before the sale. We must receive such notification, in writing, within (14) days of the date of the sale if you are planning to have a stamp expertized. Only lots containing single catalog numbers are eligible for expertizing, i.e. a set of stamps canât be returned for expertizing problems. Acceptable authorities to Fusco Auctions for expertizing purposes are the Philatelic Foundation, American Philatelic Society and the Professional Stamp Experts, Inc. Others may be used, but we must be notified of who they are before an item is sent. This is especially true of overseas expert opinion concerns. We will not be responsible for any charges incurred by the buyer unless the opinion states that the items do not match the description given in the catalog, in which case we will pay the actual cost of the opinion or up to 50. We will not accept returns for any reason after six months has passed from the sale date. Any lot which has a certificate issued with the last five years is sold in accordance with the certificate and is not returnable for any reason including an opinion obtained in a new certificate after the sale.
