We will not display bids on our web site nor will it be possible to bid through our web site during the auction. Consignors may not bid on their own material nor have others bid on their behalf. All bidders will be registered and must attest that they will not engage in "shill" bidding (bidding to increase the price without any intention of buying the lot). Violators of these provisions will be exempted from this auction and will be prohibited from ever bidding in future Written Word Autographs auctions. The winner will always be the high bidder. Lots will not be reopened after the hammer for any reason. Bids will not be accepted for an amount less than 60% of the 'low estimate' for any lot. Please be aware that most lots carry a reserve beneath which the lot will not be sold. Bidding will proceed in the following increments: Bidding Level Increment $100 to $500 $20 $501 to $1,000 $50 $1,001 to $5,000 $100 Over $5,000 $500 All bids will be opened at either the highest bid below the minimum estimated value, the minimum estimated value or one increment above the second highest ceiling bid. For example if bids of $200 and $500 are left for a lot with an estimate value of $200 to $400 the opening bid would be $220, one increment ($20) above the minimum. Absent any further bidding the lot would be sold to the $500 bidder for $220. Instances where there is a single bid in excess of the minimum, the lot will be opened one increment above the lowest estimate. For example a bid of $400 on a lot with a minimum value of $300 would force an opening bid of $320. There is an 20% buyer premium for all bids with a 3% discount for check or money order payments within 10 days of the auction. PayPal payments will be accepted. There will be no additional charge if winning bidders choose to pay with PayPal,American Express, Discover, MasterCard or VISA credit card.
