THE SALE Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyers premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with White’s Auctions Charleston before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Whites Auctions Charleston, and that Whites Auctions Charleston will only look to the principal for payment.

Reserves Some lots in the sale may be subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors. 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 that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally 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 or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneers Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy to our clients and are a statement of opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Whites Auctions is not responsible for any error or omission. The absence of a condition report on an item does not imply the lot is in perfect condition or free from typical wear or effects commensurate with age. Buyers or their agents are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the condition of any lot prior to bidding.
