ABSENTEE BIDS
If you are unable to attend the auction in
person, and wish to place bids, you may
give Goldberg’s bid department instructions
to bid on your behalf. Our representatives
will try to purchase the lot for the lowest
price possible, and will not purchase the
lot for more than you indicate. This service
is free and confidential. Note: Ira & Larry
Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. offers
this service as a convenience to clients who
are unable to attend the sale in person, and
although we will make every effort, we will
not be responsible for error or failure to
execute bids.
PLACING ABSENTEE BIDS
To place bids, please use the Absentee
Bidder Form provided in this catalog. Be
sure to accurately put the lot number and
the maximum price you are willing to pay
on each lot. Always indicate a top limit or
the amount which you would bid if you
were attending the auction in person. This
amount should not include the buyers
commission noted in chapter 16 of the
“Terms and Conditions of sale”.
MAIL BIDS
When bidding by mail, you frequently
purchase lots for less than your maximum
bid. On the floor of the auction, bidding
will open at 5-10% above the second
highest mail bid: We act on your behalf as
the highest mail bidder. If the auctioneer
recognizes no other bids from the floor,
you will be awarded the lot at the opening
bid. If bidding proceeds from the floor,
the company, acting as your agent, bids
in increments over the previous bid. This
process is continued until you are awarded
the lot or you are outbid by the floor.
LIMIT BIDDERS
If you have a “limit” that you must stay
within you must clearly notate this limit
on your bid sheet. We will buy your lots
as inexpensively as possible but will not
exceed your “limit”.
“OR BIDS”
Alternative bids should be indicated by
using the word “OR” between the lot
numbers. Then if your bid on an early lot
is successful, we will not continue to bid
on any other lots for you. Or, if your early
bids are unsuccessful, we will continue to
execute bids for alternative lots until a bid
is successful. Bids must always be placed in
the same order as the lot numbers appear
in the catalog.
TELEPHONE BIDS
Bids may be placed by telephone, but are
accepted only at Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins
& Collectibles, Inc. discretion and at the
risk of the telephone bidder.
We will not
be responsible for error or failure to
notify the customer in a timely manner
during the auction.
The telephone
bidder must notify the company at least
24 hours prior to auction all lots the bidder
is interested in bidding on. The telephone
bidder should have a preconceived idea of
the top limit that he/she would like to bid
prior to auction. In some instances, the
representative of the company will request
this information at the time of auction. This
information assists us in the bidding process
by giving us a range to stay active in the
bidding. We will not notify the auctioneer of
your limit and will buy your lot at the lowest
price possible.
