This auction will start at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, with lot 1 and go to lot 493. Unlike other eBay auctions in the regular format with a specific start day and time and a specific stop day and time, the LIVE AUCTION process is a bit different. Be aware that when our auction session begins on the day indicated, the lots are sold in numeric order at a rate of approximately 90 lots per hour. As such, if a session only has 500 lots, it will likely be over in approximately 5 12 to 6 hours (no matter what the end time eBay might list). For example, if lot 1 begins at 10 am EST, then lot 100 will fall around 11:00 to 11:30 am EST and so on. Remember, these times are approximate, so if you intend on bidding LIVE, leave yourself some flexibility in either direction to be by your computer at the right time. If you have any further questions about the times lots will come up LIVE, please contact our offices. The items will be available for us to answer questions, descriptions, or take extra picutres on Tuesday May 16, 2006 (afternoon). This auction is fast past, so please bid FAST. On Monday (May 22)we will be completing the paper work for successful bidders. SHIPPING is calculated after the auction, because we need to know the approx. weight of package, where it is going, and the insurance value (which is what you paid for the item). We will figure out the successful bidders shipping ,and will e-mail invoices to successful internet bidders on Tuesday, May 23, 2006. Thanks
