HOW OLD TOY SOLDIER AUCTIONS U.S.A. WORKS: 1 Lot # - The item to be sold. Typically we sell 80 lots per hour. 2 Set # - The reference number used by the manufacturer. 3 Name of the Set 4 Description- Description of the set including estimated date of production and number of figures. 5 Manufacturer- Manufacturer of the lot. 6 "from"- Indicates that the lot does not have the exact composition or figure count as listed in the reference books. It may contain more or less figures than originally issued. If "from" is not used, the set is complete. 7 Condition of Figure- Applies to paint. Structural damage and or anomalies are listed in italics and within parenthesis. Condition of boxes is similarly described. 8 Estimate- This is the USD amount that has been assessed by the Old Toy Soldier Auctions appraiser and is based on the desirability, rarity and condition of each lot. This is provided for guidance only. Generally a bid within the estimated range has a 50% chance of winning the lot, a bid of the high estimate 70% and a bid of the low estimate 30%. HOW TO BID AT OLD TOY SOLDIER AUCTIONS USA: 1 Decide on the amount you would like to bid for the lot of interest. 2 Use the Bidding Increment Chart to determine your maximum bid. Bids not on the increments will be rounded down to the next increment. 3 Leave absentee bids online. 4 Bid live online. We recommend registering to bid 24 hours before the sale. FAQ: 1 If I bid $50 does the item open at $50? No, the item opens at one increment over the next highest bid. If you bid $50 and the next highest bid is $30 your bid will open the lot at $35. 2 Why did my bid of $53 not win the lot? Your bids are rounded to the nearest lower increment. Your bid of $53 was executed as a $50 bid. Please use the chart to help set your bids. 3 Why did I not win the lot that was sold for $50 when my bid was $50? There are two possibilities. The bids are executed in the order they are received. Many people bid the high estimate, if we have multiple bids at $50, the winner is the person whose $50 bid was received first. Or your bid was wrong footed meaning that your bid was an increment off. If you leave a bid of $50 and the lot opens at $30 to someone else, you then bid $35, another bidder bids $40 you then bid $45 and unfortunately someone comes in on your bid of $50 and the item sells to them. It is impossible to predict or plan your initial bid. You may give us a plus 1, plus 2 or even a plus 3 bid which allows us to bid 1, 2 or 3 increments over your high bid. However, we cannot accept a Buy bid, you must provide us with a number. 4 How much should I bid? We provide estimates for each lot based on our experience. We tend to be conservative with our estimates. Generally a bid within the estimate has a 50 percent chance of winning the lot. A bid of the low estimate has a 30 percent chance of winning the lot and a bid of the high estimate a 70 percent chance of securing the lot for the bidder. It is not uncommon for an item to go several times the high estimate if there are two or more parties with serious interest.
