HIGH and LOW ESTIMATES are provided for each lot for reference only.

Lots may sell for a price greater than or less than these estimates. Bids under 50% of the pre-auction estimate may not be accepted. 11. STARTING PRICES may or may not be the actual price at which any item will sell.

If the auction invoice is not paid for in full when due per invoice terms, including any applicable credit card processing fees, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law until paid in full. If the matter is referred to an attorney for collection, bidder agrees to pay all reasonable attorney fees, court costs and other collection cost incurred by Artemis Gallery/Antiquities-Saleroom to collect past due invoices and that the services of process by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, shall be sufficient to confer "in personam" jurisdiction over bidder. 16.
