BIDDING Registration Before Bidding All prospective buyers must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. Banking and/or other financial references may also be requested. Bidding as Principal When placing a bid, the bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price including buyer's premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges. Only if explicitly agreed upon in writing with Susanin's Inc. before the commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Susanin's Inc. will Susanin's Inc. then look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids Susanin's Inc. will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given prior to the auction for the convenience of clients who are unable to be present at the auction, represented by an agent, or by telephone. All bids must be placed in US dollars (USD). If written bids are received on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot during the auction, the lot will be sold to the bidder whose bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a complimentary service undertaken by Susanin's Inc. If there are other commitments at the time of auction rendering Susanin's Inc. unable to execute a written bid, Susanin's Inc. does not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and/or omissions in connection with the absentee bid. Telephone Bids Lots with a low estimate of $500 or greater are eligible for bidding via telephone if a bidder makes arrangements with Susanin's Inc. by the end of business the day before the auction takes place.

The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer at his/her discretion may open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his/her discretion until a bid is recognized and then continue from that amount to determine the successful bidder. Auctioneer's Discretion The auctioneer has the right, at his or her sole discretion, to refuse any bid, to advance bidding in such a manner as he or she decides, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute whether during the auction or afterwards, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to resell the lot in dispute.
