CONDITIONS OF SALE THE PLACING OF A BID SHALL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONDITIONS OF SALE BIDDING 1. Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer , all bids are per lot, as numbered in the printed Catalogue. Harmers of New York Inc. (hereinafter " Harmers " ), License #s 672829 , 780870 , as agent for the consignor or vendor, shall regulate the bidding and shall determine the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted. Harmers reserves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale (without liability to any potential purchaser or agent) , to re-offer any withdrawn lot, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same consignor or vendor , and to refuse any bid believed not made in good faith .

2. The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail . Should a dispute arise between bidders (including a dispute between a floor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalf of a mail bidder , consignor or vendor) , the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successful 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 agent or those of the auctioneer . (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. (d) Purchases made by a consignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to com missions 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 .

PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES 4. Payment for lots , including those on which opinions are desired (Condition of Sale 8), shall be as follows : (a) Floor Bidders. Payment of the 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 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 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 authority* is desired , the time for payment may be extended in accord with and subject to Condition of Sale 8.

5. Title shall not pass to the purchaser until full payment has been received by Harmers as agents for the consignor or vendor.

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 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 comply occurs , Harmers may, in its sole discretion , re-offer such lot during the same auction or at an auction at a later time, or by private treaty at such time as Harmers, in its sole discretion , deems appropriate and the NonComplying Bidder shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the hammer price and the net proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser, whether at auction or by private treaty, as well as for all costs and expenses of both sales, all other charges due thereunder , including commissions with respect to both sales, whether payable to Harmers or to a third party and all incidental damages. It shall be in Harmers' sole discretion to determine whether to re-offer the lot theretofore hammereddown to a Non-Complying Bidder at that same auction, or by private treaty in due course, or at a subsequent auction conducted by Harmers, or at an auction held by an auctioneer other than Harmers. In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a NonComplying 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 States stamps. the generally recognized authority, unless otherw ise agreed, shall be the Philatelic Foundat ion of New York.

CATALOGUE NUMBERS The catalogue number s of the contents of the lots are given in parentheses immediately follow ing the descriptions, but in bulky lots only the range of issue is shown .

CATALOGUE VALUES The final column shows the cat alogue value of the lot . Th is is shown in parentheses where , in the opinion of the auctioneers , the market value exceeds this figure .

ESTIMATED VALUES If an est imated cash value is given , it is shown in the descript ion and always indicated t,y the abbreviation " Est. Cash Va l." It is used where the lot is large or where the actual value has little relation to the catalogue price .

It represen ts the auct ioneer's appra isa l of the true MARKET value of a lot and the figure is invariably close to the actual real ization . It is useless for mail bidders to list any bids that are only a low proportion of such estimates .
