2 . The hi!;Jhestbid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (including a dispute between a floor bidde r and the auctioneer acting on behalf of a mail bidder , consignor or vendor), the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successfu l bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute . Should a dispute arise after the sale, the auctioneer 's sale records shall be conclusive . On all lots sold, a commission of 10% on the hammer price is payable by the buyer .

3 . (a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients (and consignors or vendors ) but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid, however received, and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or those of the auctioneer . (b) Any lot may be offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor or vendor. (c) Purchases 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 . (d) Agents are responsib le for all purchases made on behalf of their clients , unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the auction .

PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES 4. Payment for lots, including those on which opinions are desired under Condition of Sale 8, shall be as follows : (a) Floor Bidders. Payment of the entire purchase price , or such part thereof as Harmers shall require, shall be made by the purchaser in such manner as Harmers may determine . 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 successfu l mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased . Before Harmers will send such lots to a successful mail bidder , payment in full must be received by Harmers within 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 75rt will be made. Risk of loss in transit shall be on the purchaser . (c) Where an opinion of a generally recognized authority * is desired , the time for payment may be extended in accord with and subject to Condition of Sale 8.

6. (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 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 (a " Non-Complying Bidder" ), then, as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comply occurs , Harmers may, at its option , re-offer such lot immediately or may re-offer such lot at a public auction at a later time and shall hold the Non-Comp lying 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 pa_rty 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 secu re 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 States stamps . the generally recogn ized author ity, unless othe rwise agreed , shall be the Philatelic Foundat ion of New York ; fo r ot her stamps, a list of authorities acceptable to Harmers will accompany the Cat alogue from time to time.

CONDITION The various gra dings of stamps are , in order : superb ; extremely fine ; very fine ; fine ; fair A lot described as " fair " is so listed either by reason of general appearance or more often because of a small fault or faults , such as a crease , thin spot , short or miss ing perf , perforated into , cut into , etc .

In the case of sets , large blocks , sheets , etc. , the condition quoted represents the average and quality above and below this standard can be expected .

Mixed cond ition: In large lots , the condition is generally expected to range from fair to at best fine. Serious defects can be expected .

Handstamp on reverse : Denotes either a dealer, collector or indecipherable expertiser's mark.

Signed by : Denotes either the actual signature or mark of the expertiser. The absence of mentioning a signature does not reflect on the ability or knowledge of the party involved.

CATALOGUE NUMBERS The catalogue numbers of the contents of the lots are given in parentheses immediately following the descript ions, but in bulky lots only the range of issue is shown .

CATA LOGUE VALUES The final column shows the catalogue value of the lot . This is shown in parentheses where, in the opinion of the auctioneers , the market value exceeds this figure .

ESTI MATED VA LUES If an estimated cash value is given , it is shown in the description and always indicated by the abbreviation " Est .

Cash Val. " It is used where the lot is large or where the actual value has little relation to the catalogu e price .

It represents the auctioneer's appraisal of the true MA RKET val ue of a lot and the figure is invariably clo se to the actual realizati on. It is useless for mail bidders to list any bids that are only a low proportion of such estima tes .
