Be aware that when our auction session begins on the day indicated, the lots are sold in numeric order at a rate of approximately 100-120 lots per hour. As such, if a session only has 500 lots, it will likely be over in approximately 5 hours(no matter what the end time eBay might list). For example, if lot 2001 begins at 10 am EST, then lot 2100 will fall around 10:45 to 11:15 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. eBay accepts absentee bids up to ONE HOUR BEFORE a session begins once you have registered. You may log on and bid live at any time during the course of an auction as long as you have COMPLETED REGISTRATION and been cleared to bid by the auction house.

Local Taxes Apply if picked up or shipped in New Jersey. We do accept NJ and all other states re-sale exemption numbers.

You are about to bid in conjunction with a live auction setting. Please take note that this processes if somewhat different then your normal process on ebay. When you place a bid, just because you placed your bid on a certain time and date does not mean you could be the high bidder in a tie bid with an auction floor bidder. When ebay bids for you they bid in a competitive rotation. If the start price is 10.00 and your high bid is 40.00, you would be bid out because we would start with your bid at 10.00, auction floor bidder would bid 20.00, then you would be in for 30.00, the auction floor bidder would be 40.00, then you would need to be 50.00 to win the next bid. It is recommended if you do not want to loose in a tie bid for your high bid because of a bid rotation, you should consider placing your bid one bid higher than your last bid. Why are there fees for buying and higher fees for shipping The reason for this is because we work as an agent for the seller to sell the items on there behalf. These items are not our own items and only work with percentages from sellers and buyers. We pay someone to pick up, pack and ship all items for us; thus we do not make a profit on shipping and handling. Once again this is a live auction broadcasted on ebay, people are more than welcome to come to the auction gallery to inspect any item in this sale. The best way to get a more detailed condition report is to call us at 866-349-7378 the week of the auction. Please also take note the start time is 5:15 PM Eastern Stander Time and 2:15 PM Pacific.
