Please note there is always a backlog of bids at the close of auction, which I have to attend to, before I can close the auction. Bids below estimate will not be reduced. Bids are accepted by lot numbers only. In the case of two identical bids preference is given to the first received. The auctioneer shall have the right to refuse any bid or bids. All bids should be made out in even US Dollars. No bids from minors are accepted. Prices, in US Dollars, are estimates for guidance only. Lots can realize prices above or below estimates.

No lots are delivered without full payment of invoice. All items cataloged with greatest care and reflect the generally accepted opinion when the catalog is printed.

The parties agree to submit any litigation arising from the sale to the jurisdiction of Stockholms Tingsrätt, which they consider now and henceforth as solely competent in the exclusive application of Swedish law.

If you are bidding on lots you REALLY want, please make sure you enter your maximum bid, leave a phone- or mobile phone number you can be reached on at all times, or monitor your s. It is important to realize that I will try to obtain the lot bid on for the lowest possible price, at a maximum of 10% over the next highest bid, and I fully appreciate the fact that the bids given are the maximum figure that the bidder is prepared to pay for any lot. I am happy to handle bids for customers who are interested in a number of lots but only wish to spend a limited amount of money. Enter your bids in the order you want them, mark Lots entered in order of priority and clearly state your limit of winning bids. In a similar way if you wish to bid on a choice of two, or more, items, clearly mark your bids either/or....
