(a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behaif of clients (and consignors or vendors) but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instr uctions to bid, however received , and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auctioneer . (b) All lots are offeled 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. (d) Purcha ses made by a consignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable . (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 with in three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notification 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 generally recognized author ity* is desired , the time for payment may be extended in accord with and subject to Condition of Sale 8.

Title shall not pass to the purchaser until full payment has been received by Harmers as agents for the consignor or vendor . (a) Purchasers agree to pay for lots as specified in Condition of Sale 4 (or as the same may be modified by Condition of Sale 8), and no credit is extended; a late payment charge of 2% for the first month and 2½% for each succeeding month compounded shall be added if payment is not made in accordance with the aforesaid conditions. (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 commissions 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. (c) A defaulting purchaser shall be deemed to have granted Harmers a security interest in any property in Harmers possession owned by such purchaser . Harmers shall have all of the rights afforded a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such property and may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by it for the account of , or due from Harmers to such purchaser . (d) If Harmers takes any legal steps to secure payment of a delinquent account , the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all legal and other expenses incurred by Harmers to secure such payment , including but not limited to a reasonable allowance for attorneys ' -fees . For purposes of this paragraph , the term legal steps shall be deemed to include any and all consultation by Harmers with its attorneys with respect to all matters arising out of a delinquent account.

•For United Slates stamps, the generally recognized authority , unless otherw ise agreed , shall be the Philatelic Foundation ol New York .

(b) A prospect ive purchaser wishing to submit a lot to an authority not accepted by Harmers shall , prior to the date of the auction , request in writing permission for such submiss ion and obtain confirmation of such request from Harmers . The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse a bid where the authority requested is not acceptable on any grounds , which grounds need not be disclosed by Harmers. (c) Payment for lots upon which an extens ion of time is obtained pursuant to this Cond ition of Sale 8 may be made in accord with Condition of Sale 4, subject to the following (paragraph d) and herein.
