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
accuratelyput the lot number and themaximum
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.
