InstructIons on How to Bid
The items described in this catalog will be sold to the highest bidder. A minimum price is shown
after each item description. You must bid at least the minimum, the maximum is up to you. If
the only bid received on an item is equal to the minimum it will be the winning bid.
Overbidding ­ If there are two bids for an item, one for 500 and the other for 1,000, the item
will be sold to the 1000 bidder for 550. The increments are as follows: 0- 1,000 is 50; over
1,000 is 100.
Submit your bids on the bid sheets enclosed. You may copy the bid sheet if more are needed. If
emailing bids include pertinent information, including spending limit, etc.
Enter the catalog number for each item you bid on, and the amount of your bid for that item in
the "Bid Amount" column. Please list your bids in sequence by catalog number. List any out-of-
sequence bids at the bottom of the bid form.
To eliminate ties do not bid even dollars. For example bid 101 instead of 100. No cents please.
If you only want to spend a certain amount, enter the maximum amount you wish to spend in
the place provided. Bid on everything you are interested in, then in the "Priority" column, list
each item in the order of your preference. If your bid on your first preference is not the top bid,
we will then check your second preference, your third preference, etc. until your accumulated
winning bids approach the amount you want to spend. See the "sample" bid form in the back of
the catalog.
Print your name, address, day phone, evening phone, and a dedicated line FAX number, if
available.
Send your bids by FAX, US mail, or E-Mail. We cannot accept telephone bids.
