10. BIDDING LIVE ON EBAY DURING THE AUCTION: Bidders may place absentee bids or bid in real time along with our audience via Ebay. If you place an absentee bid in advance of the auction, your bid will be executed competitively along with the audience on auction day. Since this is a live auction, bids placed in advance of the auction are not given any more priority than bids submitted when the lot comes up for sale. Absentee bids are submitted in increments by Ebay along with the live audience. If you are bidding live on Ebay the Buyer's commission is 20%. You may view the auction live for no fee. The process of bidding live on the internet is convenient, but not perfect. In addition to technological delays and EBAY crashes, there is also a live person typing the auction info in as quickly as she can while executing thousands of live internet bids. She will attempt to capture the bid history as accurately as possible, but in the event of a discrepancy, the auctioneer's records are the official records of the auction. We post the official sales results on our website the week after the auction.
