6. Bidding Increments: 0 – 100 = 10 100 – 500 =25 500 – 1000 =50 1000 – 2500 = 100 2500 – 5000 = 250 5000 – 10000=50010000 – 25000= 1000 25000 – 50000=2500 50000 – 100000=5000

The auctioneer has the sole and exclusive power, discretion, and authority to regulate the bidding and its increments.

7. Absentee Bids: We accept absentee bids by phone, by mail, in person, or by fax. Absentee bids are requested no later than 6:00 p.m. on the day before the auction. If you fax your absentee bids, please call us to confirm receipt. All absentee bidding is handled as though you are in attendance. We will buy all designated lots for you at the bidding increment just above where competition stops. Please check and comply with these increments. All unreserved bidding starts at 50% of the low estimate unless there are two or more competing absentee bids at a price higher than that. (For example, a lot estimated at $500–$750, with no reserve, will normally open at $250. If there are two absentee bids for $400 and $600, the lot must sell for $425, even if there is no further bidding from the phone, later absentee ballots, or from the live audience. In such a case, we will open the bidding at close to the low estimate.) “Plus” bids: Because of our structured bidding increments, it is more likely that several people will leave identical bids. Since an earlier bid wins in the event of a tie, a later bid with an added “plus” bid to the next increment would win the piece. All absentee bidder names and bids are held in strictest confidence, disclosed only in the event of a question after the sale. Absentee bidding is a convenience offered to our customers and, while we will make every effort to execute your instructions, Fontaine’s Auction Gallery is not liable or responsible for any errors or failure to do so.

8. Telephone Bids: Lines are available on a first-come, first-served basis – please reserve as soon as you are able. We must hear from you no later than 12 noon on the day before the auction. Determine the lots on which you most want to bid before reserving the lines. If you need condition reports, please request and review them prior to reserving phone lines. We will call you at one phone number ONLY during the auction. If you are unsure of where you or your agent will be during the sale, we
