CONDITIONS OF SALE Property listed in our online or print catalogues will be sold by PB Auction Galleries, dba PBA Galleries, as agent for others subject to the following terms and conditions. Clients placing bids at auction agree to pay the full purchase price of any lots for which the client is the winning bidder and further acknowledge and agree to these Conditions of Sale.

PBA Galleries reserves the right to withdraw any property for sale at any time prior to its final sale. 3.

PBA Galleries does not accept reserves of more than the low estimate nor allow consignors to bid on their own items. 4. PBA Galleries reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders or in the event the auctioneer doubts the validity of any bid, the auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder or to re-offer and resell the article in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sales records shall be conclusive in every respect. 5. The "hammer price" is the price at which a lot is sold or hammered down by the auctioneer. The "purchase price" paid by the winning bidder is the aggregate of (a) the hammer price, (b) a buyer's premium of 23% of the hammer price and (b) applicable California state and local sales taxes.
