STEREOVIEW AUCTION BIDDING RULES AND TERMS OF SALE

1. All lots sold to the highest bidder.
2. Minimum increments: Up to $100, $3. $101 or higher, $10. (Bids only even dollars, no change.
3. Maximum Bids accepted, winning bidder pays no more than one increment above 2nd highest bid. Ties go to earliest bidder. Bidding starts at the price listed. There are no hidden minimums or reserves.
4. YOU WILL SEE TWO BOXES IN WHICH TO PLACE YOUR BID. IF YOU WISH TO LEAVE A MAXIMUM BID, USE THE RIGHT BOX. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO START AT AN AMOUNT MORE THAN THE MINIMUM NECESSARY, IN ORDER TO INTIMIDATE OTHER BIDDERS, USE THE LEFT BOX. (95% OF BIDDERS, FROM MY EXPERIENCE, WOULD JUST USE THE RIGHT BOX.)
5. Buyer pays insurance, registration, and shipping.
6. ALL BIDS ARE IN AMERICAN FUNDS. THERE IS NO BUYER'S PREMIUM.
7. Bids welcome via phone, fax, postal mail, e-mail, or here on-line. Direct on-line bidders must pre-register. Please do so as early as possible. (Now would be a good time.) You will be assigned a password and bidder's number. (I will be checking my E-mail hourly or less, if possible, so the wait for a password and bidder number shouldn't be too long.) You can then bid on-line in real-time, somewhat similar to ebay. Last day, late evening bidders via telephone or fax, earlier registration would be appreciated, as I would otherwise have to register you during the heat of the bidding.
8. Canadian residents must pay applicable taxes.
9. Unlike ebay, sniping is not part of the equation in this auction. I will be closing lots with a very liberal waiting period. Beginning at the closing time, after 6 minutes with no bids or enquiries, all lots are shut down together. This can happen as early as 10:30 p.m. but sometimes much later. IF the auction is still alive at midnight, the 6-minute rule becomes a 3-minute rule.
10. Please call if you have any questions about the above.
