This final bid, in all cases of internet bidding, is subject to a 21% Buyers Premium, the purchase price being the total of the two sums. Please deduct 3% from the Buyers Premium when paying with check, wire transfer or with cash if payment is made within 10 days of the end of the auction otherwise, no deduction can be taken.

Internet bids: Internet bids are subject to a 21% buyer's premium as well as all credit requirements. Please deduct 3% from the Buyers Premium when paying with check or with cash if payment is made within 10 days of the end of the auction. The auctioneer, Humler & Nolan, LLC and their employees are not responsible for internet bids that are not properly executed. Floor bids, phone bids, internet bids and absentee bids are all independent operations in an auction and we cannot guarantee which will reach a certain point in the bidding first. We will treat all bids with the same respect. LiveAuctioneers will accept absentee bids for our auction which they will execute for you. Keep in mind that eBay is one of four entities bidding in our auction. The others include phone bidders, bidders in our audience and our own absentee bidders. The bottom line in any auction is simple. The highest bidder is the winner. It does not matter when you leave your bid with eBay because when the bidding starts, there is no way to control where the bidding will start or where it will end. We wish to be fair to everyone but leaving absentee bids with LiveAuctioneers or with us does not guarantee you will be the high bidder when the bidding is over. Buyer's Premium: The final bid (hammer price) is subject to a buyer's premium of 21% when bidding on the internet. The purchase price is the total of these two sums. Please deduct 3% from the Buyers Premium when paying with check, wire transfer or with cash if payment is made within 10 days of the end of the auction. We do not accept international checks at any time, only wire transfers in American dollars. No deduction may be made after the 10 day period and no deductions for credit card use.
