IMPORTANT NOTICES Important notice: Cottone Auctions usually auctions items at approximately 80 lots per hour. On some occasions your local Internet connection may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid on LiveAuctioneers as insurance to avoid disappointment. By bidding via LiveAuctioneers, you agree that Cottone's may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since LiveAuctioneers internet bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the internet bid is presented to us, due to possible Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over internet bids. Also please note that lots for this auction, purchased through LiveAuctioneers carry a 21% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Cottone Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Cottone Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
