THE PLACING OF A BID SHALL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONDITIONS OF SALE CONDITIONS OF SALE 1.

BIDDING All bids are per lot, as numbered in the catalogue. Harmers of New York Inc. (hereinafter "Harmers") reserves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same vendor. The highest bidder shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders, the decision of the auctioneer as to the successful bidder or the re-offering or resale of the lot in dispute shall rest entirely in the judgment of the auctioneer. On all lots sold a commission of 10% on the hammer price will be payable by the buyer. The auctioneer shall regulate the bidding and reserves the right to refuse any bid believed by him not to be made in good faith. The auctioneers reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients and vendors, but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid. PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES

5. 6.

Payment for lots, including those on which opinions are desired under Condition of Sale 8, shall be as follows: (a) FLOOR BIDDERS. The name and address of the buyer of each lot shall be given to the auctioneer immediately following the sale of such lot. Payment of the entire purchase price, or part thereof, shall be made by the buyer in such manner as Harmers may determine. (b) MAIL BIDDERS. A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased and must remit before the lots are sent. A person known to Harmers, or who furnishes satisfactory references, may at Harmers' option have purchases forwarded for immediate payment. Delivery will be to the address on the bid sheet. Proof by Harmers of receipt of a sending at the advised address shall constitute delivery. A minimum charge of 75c will be made for postage, insurance and handling. Title shall not pass to the buyer until full payment has been received by Harmers. Buyers agree to pay for lots as specified above and no credit is extended; a late payment charge of 1 ½% per month is added to overdue payments.

QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY 7.

Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this catalogue including (but not restricted to) "Key to Cataloguing". (a) QUALITY. Any lot, description of which is incorrect, is returnable within two weeks of receipt and must be received by Harmers within four weeks from date of the auction. If the opinion of a mutually acceptable authority is desired, this period will be extended as noted in Condition 8. All disputed lots must be returned intact in the condition received. The following lots are not returnable except at the discretion of Harmers: lots from buyers who had the opportunity to examine them before the auction; stamps on account of appearance when they are illustrated in this catalogue. (b) AUTHENTICITY. Any lot which is declared otherwise than as genuine by a mutually acceptable authority is returnable provided the lot is received by Harmers within a period of four weeks from the date of the auction. Proof that a "mutually acceptable authority" declines to express an opinion is normally grounds for the return of a lot. In the case of United States stamps the "mutually acceptable authority" shall normally be The Philatelic Foundation of New York.

When an opinion from a mutually acceptable authority is not expected within four weeks from the date of the auction, the buyer shall (a) submit the lot without delay to a mutually acceptable authority; (b) ensure that advice in writing to this effect (preferably on the form supplied) be received by Harmers within 4 weeks of the auction. No lot will be accepted back under any circumstances more than four months after the auction date.

Expenses shall be borne by the buyer except where the lot is other than as described and is returned within the conditions set forth above, and Harmers' responsibility is expressly limited to: (a) The actual cost of the opinion if $1 0 or less, or (b) The cost of the opinion up to 5% of the sale price but not exceeding a maximum of $100. Harmers are not responsible for expenses of the return of any lot.

BLOCKS OR SHEETS ANO THEIR GUM Minor separations are the rule, rather than the exception. in the case of blocks or sheets of any size. A few separations-around four perts per row-do not affect the value of a block or sheet and are not grounds for the return of a lot. Blocks of four that have two stamps e.g. and two stamps n.h. are described "n.h.(2)/o.g.(2)". PAIRS All pairs are horizontal.

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

ESTIMATED VALUES 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 catalogue price. It represents the auctioneers appraisal of the true MARKET value of a lot and the figure is invariably close to the actual realization. It is useless for mail bidders to list any bids that are only a low proportion of such estimates.
