The highest bid acknowledged by the auct ioneer shall prevail.

(b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor or vendor . (c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their stamps and Harmers therefore has a security interest over and above the normal auction commission .

(e) Agents are responsible for all purchases made on behalf of their clients , unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the auction.

The name and address of the purchaser of each lot shall be given to the auctioneer immediately following the sale of such lot. (b) Mail Bidders. A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased. Before Harmers will send such lots, payment in full must be received by Harmers within three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notificat ion by the mail bidder . However , a purchaser known to Harmers , or who furnishes satisfactory references , may, at Harmers option , have purchases delivered or forwarded for immediate payment (by a dollar draft on a U.S. bank in the case of overseas purchasers) . Mailed delivery will be to the address on the bid sheet and proof by Harmers of receipt of a sending at the advised address shall constitute delivery . All charges for handling , delivery and insurance (obtained by Harmers on behalf of the purchaser) shall be added to the purchase price ; a minimum charge of $1 .00 will be made . Risk of loss in transit shall be on the purchaser. (c) Where an opinion of a general ly recogn ized authority * is desired, the time for payment may be extended in accord with and subject to Condition of Sale 8.

(b) In the event that a bidder shall fail to comply with these Conditions of Sale (" Non-Complying Bidder "), then , as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comp ly occurs , Harmers may, at its option , re-offer such lot immediately or at auction at a later time and shall hold the NonComplying Bidder liable for the deficiency , if any, between the hammer price and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser , as well as for all costs and expenses of both sales , all other charges due thereunder , including comm issions with respect to both sales, and all incidental damages . In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a Non-Complying Bidder.
