Sterling Silver, Coins, Jewelry Auction #19

Thank you for registering for the auction. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. Happy bidding! Please review your invoice for additional shipping and handling charges. Dana J. Tharp Auctions does not ship all items. ABSENTEE AND INTERNET BIDDERS - Invoices will be sent out by Dana J. Tharp Auctions to successful bidders who participate in the auction via absentee bidding, Auctionzip Live, Invaluable or through Danajtharpauctions.com NO LATER THAN FRIDAY after the auction. This can take several days to complete. Do not contact us before Wednesday! Our office hours are Wed-Fri from 10am to 5pm EST. Auction attendees are expected to make full payment the day of the sale. Internet bidders have (7) days to remit payment after an invoice is received. 1. BIDDING - Bid by lot number as printed in catalog. All bids are handled competitively, and all lots are sold at one bid increment over the next highest bid provided they reach a reasonable bid level. It is the auctioneer's discretion as to whether or not a reasonable bid level has been obtained. The placing of a bid will constitute acceptance of these conditions of sale. The auctioneer shall regulate the bidding and in the event of a dispute the auctioneer's decision will be final. Misunderstandings can arise when an absentee bidder is unsuccessful and loses an item to an identical bid to the one they left. This can occur when more than one person leaves the exact absentee bid. The system is set up electronically to take the first bid entered. We allow absentee bidding as a courtesy to you. Please consider being a phone bidder to alleviate any ties that may arise through the auction. The auctioneer shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid. The auctioneer shall not be liable for floor bids or online bids that are unintentionally missed or obscure. In the event of a tie bid, the earliest non-internet bid will be awarded as the winner of the lot. This is due to programming restrictions using Auctionzip Live software. Incorrect bid increments may not be accepted. Dana J. Tharp Auctions reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time prior to the live start of the auction and assumes no liability for such withdrawal. 2. ABSENTEE BIDDING - Ceiling bids will be executed for absentee bidders in accordance with Rule 1 above. For example, if an absentee bidder places a ceiling bid of $400 on an item and the under bidder, whether from the floor, internet or another absentee bidder, finished bidding at $210, the high absentee bidder would be awarded the bid at $220. The auctioneer will bid up to and including the high ceiling only if needed to out bid the under bidder. All absentee bids are handled in complete confidence. Phone(440-463-7158), email (dana@danajtharpauctions.com), and regular mail bids must be received by 8:00 AM the day of the auction. 3.
