Please call us early and not later than two hours before the auction to reserve a phone line for this service. 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 any 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 riot be sold. The low estimate is generally less than the consignor's reserve. 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 a 17% buyer premium for all bids, whether by mail, telephone, email or live bid on LiveAuctioneers. There will be a 3% additional charge if winning bidders choose to pay with American Express, Discover, MasterCard or VISA credit card or PayPal.
