Include your payment and self-addressed stamped envelope. Telephone bids are welcome throughout the sale and until the time of closing. The limit of the current highest bid will not be disclosed. BUT we have found through experience that email is a very inefficient method of conveying opening bids or descriptive information about the lots. If you do not receive acknowledgement, resubmit your email bids.
Many bidders wait until the last two days of the sale to phone in their bids.
Some people have asked whether we intentionally leave the phone off the hook. If you get a busy signal, keep trying. The only reason the line is busy is because someone else had the persistence to get through. Calling on the last two days has its advantages, but it has it's dangers, too. The placing of a bid shall constitute acceptance of the foregoing conditions.
