NO RESERVE: More than 70% of all auctioned items have NO reserve price. The rest have a very reasonable reserve.
WARRANTY: The buyer has 3 days to inspect items for originality, valued at up to $5,000, and 5 days for items valued at $5,000 or more. Items can be returned to the seller for a refund; please refer to the Terms for more details.

PAY in PARTS - HOW it WORKS: You can pay for any item over a period of 3-6 months. To get started, please make a 10% deposit, and the item will be reserved for you. Ten percent means - if you won an item for $550, your minimum first payment equals $55. Simply make the deposit using any method listed on the invoice. The remaining balance can be paid in installments over up to 6 months at your convenience. The items will be sent to you once the full payment is made. NO interest will be added during that period. Over the past few years, many people have found this option to be very HELPFUL. Even PayPal RECENTLY added the possibility to 'Pay in Parts' (please note: we have been using it for a few years!). Pay in Parts gives you more convenient ways to pay for the items you love.

This indicates that customers love our auctions and deserve to enjoy FREE shipping.
NEW BIDDERs: We welcome new bidders and will ship items according to your instructions. Also, please don’t worry - we ship items worldwide. You'll be surprised - our shipping costs are much lower than those of other auction houses. If you need to increase your bid limit, please contact us.
PLEASE NOTE: If you want to buy this item, please make a bid now. Any offer is welcome. Lots that do NOT have any bids or have only TWO bids on them will be CLOSED three days before the auction starts and will not be included in it.

PRE-AUCTION SALES: We reserve the right to sell any lot through a negotiated transaction at any time prior to the conclusion of the auction. All pre-auction purchases will be insured and shipped for FREE on the same day via Express Post. Please contact us to submit a pre-auction offer.

BEST INVESTMENT: If you are an individual or an investment company concerned about preserving your capital in these uncertain times, items with a LIFETIME WARRANTY are the best way to do so. Please explore our "HISTORY of SALES" section and look at the screenshots for samples of similar items sold at renowned auctions, such as Sotheby's, Christie's, Live Auctioneers, eBay, and more. The choice is YOURS. If a lifetime warranty is provided for the authenticity of a specific item, it means the item was manufactured during the described period. This warranty is not a printed certificate of authenticity; instead, it reflects our professional assessment that the item is original and was crafted during the stated historical period.

HOUSE of FABERGÉ: The House of FABERGÉ is a jewellery firm founded in 1842 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Gustav FABERGÉ, using the accented name FABERGÉ. Gustav's sons, Peter Carl and Agathon, and grandsons followed him in running the business until it was nationalized by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The firm was famous for designing elaborate jewel-encrusted Fabergé eggs for the Russian Tsars, and for a range of other work of high quality and intricate detail. In 1924, Peter Carl's sons Alexander and Eugene FABERGÉ opened FABERGÉ and Cie in Paris, making similar jewellery items and adding the name of the city to their rival firm's trademark, styling it "FABERGÉ, PARIS".
