Considering Selling?

Whether you have one important item to sell or an entire collection, there are a number of reasons why you should contact James D. Julia’s:

Reputation for Honesty & Fair Dealings Over the years we have established a sterling reputation with both buyers and sellers. For the seller, this means their goods will be properly and professionally handled with hassle free straight forward dealings. The buyer has also learned to trust the Julia reputation for honest descriptions. This means they can place their ultimate bid with confidence that the goods will be as represented.

North America. The use of special press releases provided to key publications throughout North America also maximizes exposure. Advance notices and the ­complete catalog with photos are loaded onto our website available to the world.

We have a special arrangement with Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only) so our catalogs are also loaded on their websites. This allows all Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only) clients to bid on the items in our auction whether as an absentee bid or in live-time the day of the auction via their ­computer. We also represent our clients’ goods at various key antique shows throughout the country, and in ­addition have an aggressive telemarketing program to promote your goods. We spend a tremendous amount of money and energy making certain that your goods have the maximum exposure to potential buyers.

Record Prices

Expertise Our expertise as auctioneers is unrivaled and extends over a period of nearly thirty-five years. In addition, each Julia specialty auction is cataloged by a nationally renowned expert within that field. In order to be part of the Julia team, these experts have to enjoy a similar reputation for honesty and fair dealings and be fully k­ nowledgeable in their specific field. Our specialists have 15-35 years of experience in their chosen fields. This not only instills confidence in the seller, but even more importantly instills confidence in our buyers, many of whom don’t attend the auctions but utilize our catalogs freely knowing that they can trust our catalog descriptions.

The Julia Auction Firm has established records in numerous specialty fields over the years. In some cases, both national and world record prices are set at our auctions. In short, our experience, sterling reputation, hard work, and aggressive marketing plans add up to the ultimate return to you, the seller. We have one of the most ­competitive commission rates in the country. If you have an individual expensive item or high quality items you will find that no one will beat our commission rates.

Promotional Package

Innovative Programs

We utilize a highly diversified and structured promotional campaign for each auction. This includes, but is not limited to, professionally prepared, fully detailed and illustrated catalogs, and a tremendous diversity of a­dvertisements in various types of media all over North America. A highly detailed and fully illustrated ­promotional brochure is sent out to our mailing list. Our mailing list includes numerous specialty departments including a vast number of names of special collectors and dealers all over

We are always striving to serve our customers better, both buyers and sellers. Some current innovations include our Trade Up Program.

This is a new program at Julia’s which essentially allows the collector to obtain new and exciting items for their collection and at the same time dispose of unwanted items from their ­collection.

The net result can be no cash outlay on the collector’s behalf to obtain items he/she desires to add to their collection. To our knowledge we are the only auction firm in North 25

America providing this p ­ rogram. The concept or ­ possibilities are virtually limitless. Parties wishing to explore this should call our office for more details. Arrangements to p ­ articipate in this program must be made prior to the actual purchase at a­ uction.

Web Presence: We utilize our website to load advance notices of our clients’ goods to be included in upcoming auctions. In addition, we load our entire auction catalog, complete with photos, on our website so that the world can preview the catalog free of charge. We also have an arrangement with Invaluable, Bidsquare (Lamp & Glass and Fine Art Auctions only) and Proxibid (Firearms Auctions only). The end result is that usually our entire catalog with photos is loaded onto these platforms two weeks prior to the auction where any customer in the world can submit a bid. The day of the auction our entire catalog is offered on these platforms.

The innovative technology allows a person to sit at their computer regardless of where they are in the world and view the progression of the auction. If they have registered in advance they can bid on anything in the catalog the moment it is being offered at auction. This has proven to be a convenience for some of our absentee bidders and it also increases the exposure for our sellers. Our online auctions are a very successful method of marketing certain types of goods. It greatly benefits buyers and sellers alike. However, our live catalogs are still the best way to auction better quality and more desirable items, particularly the rare and choice items.

Estates & Collections Department What will happen to your collection? Plan ahead with our unique “Plan in Place” The numerous benefits derived from collecting do come with an important responsibility–the eventual dispersal of our collection. The James D. Julia “Plan in Place” addresses exactly this responsibility–the planned dispersal of our collections. Unfortunately, many passionate collectors never make plans for the dispersal of their collection. They simply don’t want to think about it.

This, however, is not a smart, practical or considerate approach. We all know that someday we will die and most smart and considerate mates prepare wills and/or trusts to deal with their personal assets after they are gone. (If you haven’t yet, it is very important that you do.)

It is not often that a collector has a documented, well-laid-out plan for the disposition of their collection after they are gone or become unable to handle their own affairs. The lack of a “Plan in Place” can prove to be a great burden and hardship for our survivors in their time of greatest stress and loss. A collector, as they say, might “roll over in his/her grave” if he/ she knew what stress, confusion, or significant financial loss the dispersal of their collection generated due to the absence of a well laid-out plan.

Julia’s is renowned for their expertise and appraisal services. They regularly provide appraisals for insurance, estate and auction purposes. Here, President Jim Julia discusses the value and significance of some outstanding sporting guns with longtime Firearms Consultant J.R. LaRue.

A unique service department serving collectors of antiques and featuring our “Plan in Place” 1. Based on gross sales, James D. Julia, Inc. is one of the top ten antique auction houses in North America. Our sales in 2014 were over $54 million.

2.

We have an impeccable reputation for honesty and fair-dealing.

4.

We provide three types of expert appraisals: a) Estate Appraisals for Probate Purposes, b) Insurance Appraisals for Retail Replacement Values, and c) Verbal Appraisals for Auction Purposes.

3. Julia’s has a wide area of expertise. We regularly utilize 40 specialty expert consultants and advisors to evaluate and catalog our clients’ goods.

5.

6.

Our three specialty catalog auction divisions are the finest of their type, not only in the United States but in the world. Julia’s divisions are: a) Rare Firearms and Militaria, the world’s leading auctioneer in rare firearms, b) Rare Lamps, Glass & Fine Jewelry, one of the top three in the world, and c) Fine Art, Asian & Antiques, one of the nation’s leaders.

Our Estates & Collections Planning Department featuring our “Plan in Place” is one of the only departments of its type in North America today, providing special, formal planned dispersals of collections and valuable estates.

A 40 year tradition of success based on honesty, expertise, professionalism and personable service.

The James D. Julia, Inc. Stimulus Plan The auction process is a powerful marketing device. A quality selection of goods with realistic estimates will assure a cadre of buyers and sometimes the results can be exciting. Auctions still represent the very best way to turn a quality collection, an entire estate or a large inventory into a respectable sum of cash with minimal effort on the owner’s behalf. Now is a great time to consider selling at auctions. “Cash is King.” For the first time in many years, there are extraordinary buying and investment opportunities so it makes great sense to consider consigning to our upcoming auctions. But there is also another reason to consider…

1.

Successes

seller’s commission. That’s right, only 0% c­ ommission on ­expensive items. Also very ­competitive rates on less expensive items. Julia’s has a­ lways ­tendered some of the best terms in the industry and this is, in part, just one of the many reasons why we are one of the leading auction houses in North America.

2.

Cash advances. On important collections or consignments.

3.

Finder’s fees. We pay significant fees for leads on large and important ­collections (one agent received a check for $165,000 for his lead on a ­single collection). As Abraham Lincoln is credited with once s­ aying, “…knowledge is your stock in trade.” If you know about a collection that could possibly be coming to market, call us i­mmediately. How could you ever make a significant amount of money in an easier way?

4.

Free pick up on large collections and large consignments, anywhere.

Colt Walker A Co. 210 Sold for $920,000 (est. $500,000-1,000,000)

World record for the most expensive ­single firearm sold at auction in history, at the time

5. The finest marketing and promotion plan in the ­business. Our promotion and marketing efforts are the most aggressive in the business. Our ­catalogs are the finest within the industry. We work for you and we do everything we can to ­maximize your return.

6.

7.

We are auctioneers only, not dealer/auctioneers. Our time, energy, money and efforts are all ­expended on you. We do not c­ ompete with our buyers’ buying or with our sellers’ ­selling. We work for you only!

Washington’s Personal Map for the Siege of Yorktown Sold for $1,150,000

Financial security. James D. Julia’s is solid as a rock: in the business for over 40 years with our last 5 being the most s­uccessful in our history. Banking references available from our banker of many, many years.

World record for the most expensive map ever sold at auction.

Record for most expensive antique sold at auction in Maine.

8. The strongest rate of return! For a matter of years now, our firm has ­consistently ­conducted the highest ­grossing firearms ­auctions in history. In addition, we have m ­ aintained the h ­ ighest average sale value per lot on a c­ onsistent basis. The last couple of auctions have averaged around $10,000 per lot, per sale. Our Firearms, Rare Lamps, Glass & Fine Jewelry and Fine Art, Asian & Antiques Divisions are all leaders in their fields.

If you are considering consigning, your primary goal should be to obtain the greatest net return for yourself. In order to do that, two things must be in play 1) select the auctioneer who will get the ­greatest return for your goods, and 2) select the ­auctioneer that will give you the lowest commission terms. Julia’s does e­xactly that; the greatest rate of return for the lowest cost. This means the most money for you. Call today. All inquiries are ­confidential and without obligation.

Conditions of Sale - Please Read

Rare Lamps, Glass & Fine Jewelry Division Please be sure to read the conditions before participating in the sale.

For years, we have worked hard to develop a reputation for honesty and fairness. We have tried to apply this same principle in preparing this ­particular sale. So that you might know what the limitations are for this sale, we have tried to clearly outline the conditions below, which will specifically ­indicate how various circumstances will be handled.

1. Guarantee We have attempted to make a consistent effort in cataloging and correctly describing the property to be sold. The catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee. Please be sure that you know that. It is a guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a major effect upon the value of the item. Under no circumstances do we guarantee against anything less than a major discrepancy that would have less than a major effect upon value.

This limited guarantee covers authenticity. It also covers any major restoration or repair not described. Also we guarantee against fakes, reproductions or major fabrications. As outlined above, our guarantee is limited, however, it is almost unique in a business that operates “Caveat Emptor”. This is not a perfect system, however, and it is important to be aware of that.

Our i­ntention is to be as fair as possible in our catalog descriptions but it is virtually impossible to adequately describe an antique or collectible item that has been used and shows signs of wear.

Imperfections, slight damages, handling marks, natural imperfections that are inherent with the manufacturing of the objects are the types of things that we absolutely do not guarantee against. These are commonplace with antiques and with most buyers this is understood and accepted, however, if you are a discerning, highly particular customer, expecting mint or near mint condition, it is advisable that you not ever submit absentee bids here or at any auction house without seeing the item in person, since your definition of condition might be far more particular than what any cataloger would have time or space to specify. The entire purpose of our catalog description is to give our readers a general description and idea of what the lot is and we will stand behind that description regarding a major discrepancy only. If the discrepancy is less than a major discrepancy, under no circumstances would any adjustment or refund be made. Should the need arise, the auctioneer reserves the right to make verbal ­ corrections and provide additional information from the block at the time of the sale. Absentee bids will not be executed on items that are found to be other than described in the catalog unless we were able to contact you prior to the lot being sold and advise of this discrepancy. If we are unable to reach you or if time does not Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

permit, we will not execute your bid. Please Note: the only thing we guarantee is what is in print in the catalog and what is announced from the block at the time of sale. Absolutely nothing discussed over the telephone or in person prior to the auction shall be construed as part of the guarantee. Since opinions can differ, ­particularly in the matter of condition, the auctioneer will be the sole judge in the matter of refunds.

This guarantee is limited to the following time ­duration and limits. Please read: A. Time Limit For live bidders it is expected that you have examined the items before you purchased them and that as you pick them up, you will re-examine them one last time. If there is a problem regarding condition, it is expected that you would notify us immediately before leaving the auction facility. If you are an absentee bidder then it is your responsibility to examine the lot immediately upon receipt. If a major discrepancy should be discovered, it is your responsibility to contact us immediately. Please note: All guarantees and options for refunds or adjustment become null and void 45 days after the auction. We pay consignors on the 45th day. Once we have paid our consignors we no longer have control for the payment and under no circumstances can we consider any refunds. If you suspect that there is a major discrepancy or ­problem with authenticity of your lot, it is your responsibility to contact our office before the 45 days are up and let us know that you need some extra time. We can usually make arrangements to extend the guarantee for a few days if you personally advise us. Please note: If you pay late and thus, receive your items late, it does not qualify for special privileges. The guarantee is null and void 45 days after the auction. It is your responsibility to pay for and acquire your purchases in a timely fashion. So if there is a major discrepancy, you have time to notify our office. Please remember that if you call us 46 days after the auction, there is nothing we can do about a major discrepancy except apologize to you. If you want to be considered for an adjustment or refund, it is your responsibility to notify us within 45 days after the auction.

B. Limit of Restitution Under no circumstances will the auctioneer be responsible for lost profits or other financial damages. Refunds requested on the grounds of authenticity must be accompanied by at least a supporting written statement from an authority ­recognized by the auctioneers. Auctioneer will not be responsible for shipping costs, after auction appraisal fees, testing or any other post auction costs. If it is agreed that an item may be 34

returned, it is the buyer’s responsibility to return it in the same condition as received.

C. Type of Restitution An item that qualifies for an adjustment is limited to one of the following options: 1) Major problems, (i.e. fakes, significant alteration, major unannounced restoration, etc.) will result in a refund in sale price, adjustment in sale price or repair by the auctioneer. The auctioneer shall be the judge as to the final resolve.

2) Less than major problems or discrepancies are not part of the guarantee and no refund or adjustment will be considered for less than major problems.

2. Receipt of Goods All goods sold will be tagged and can be claimed upon presentation of paid receipts ONLY. All items to be wrapped will be wrapped by the purchaser, unless the items are to be shipped.

3. Protested Bids In case of a disputed bid, the Auctioneer is the sole determinant as to who is the successful bidder and at his d ­ iscretion may re-offer and resell the article in dispute.

4. Tax State of Maine sales tax is 5.5% and will be collected at time of payment unless a current sales tax certificate is on file or if shipped anywhere except Maine and Massachusetts. If purchases are shipped to a Maine address, sales tax of 5.5% shall be collected unless a current sales tax certificate is on file. If purchases are shipped or delivered to a Massachusetts address, sales tax of 6.25% shall be collected unless a current sales tax certificate is on file.

5. Nominal Bids The Auctioneer may reject nominal bids, small opening bids or very nominal advances made with purpose of ­disparaging an item. If a lot fails to open for 25% to 30% of the low estimate, the item may be passed from the block by the Auctioneer and may not be re-offered until a later sale.

6. Absentee Bids Phone, fax or mail bids will be accepted with a 20% deposit, late bids or last minute bids can be confirmed with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express number, in many cases. In such case, the bookkeeper will execute such bids competitively. It is entirely possible to buy items by absentee bid for less than your top bid price.

Please Note: Absentee bids are a service provided

to our customers free of charge. Every effort is made to execute all absentee bids; however, you must know that this is not a perfect system neither here nor at any other auction house. In the event of an error of omission or failure to properly execute absentee bids, the auctioneer shall not be held liable.

7. Terms All items are to be paid for in American funds at the day of the auction. Non-residents who have not established an account with us and wish to pay by check, must do so prior to the beginning of the auction by presenting a current letter of reference from their bank or by providing references which are suitable to the auctioneer.

Absentee Bidders - Directly after the auction a bill will be sent to you for the items you purchased and a total amount due. This bill is due upon presentation and must be paid immediately. The auctioneer reserves the right to hold merchandise purchased by personal check until the check has cleared the bank, if the auctioneer deems such action necessary to protect his interest. For bidders located outside of the United States we only accept payment by checks drawn on U.S. banks or wire transfer.

8. Interest and Default Payment is due upon receipt. If the buyer’s invoice is not paid in full within 15 days of the auction, James D. Julia, Inc. has the right and will charge the buyer’s credit card of record on file for the total invoice amount. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1-1/2% monthly (18% APR) effective 15 days from the date of purchase/auction. All goods not retrieved by Buyer within 120 days after the last day of the auction, shall be subject to a storage fee of $50 per item per month. Buyer authorizes auctioneer to sell any goods not retrieved after the 120 day period in any manner deemed appropriate by the auctioneer and the proceeds will be applied to all sums owed by the buyer to the auctioneer under this or any other agreement between the parties. If the sale is conducted by the auctioneer, in addition to all sums due hereunder, buyer shall pay the auctioneer’s standard commission fees and 1% insurance fee. Buyer specifically authorizes any such sale to be held without reserve. Buyer shall be responsible for any deficiencies between the sale price and all sums due hereunder.

9. Reserves Some items in this auction may carry a conservative reserve. Therefore, the auctioneer may bid on behalf of the owner or for the auction house. The purchaser will be the highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer. Please note that when a lot carries a reserve, the reserve is usually somewhere below the low estimate in the catalog. Actual reserve figures cannot be divulged, but we will tell you if an item carries a reserve should you ask.

10. Withdrawal We reserve the right to withdraw any property before sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for such withdrawal.

11. Title A title passes upon the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. It will then be the responsibility of the buyer to make full payment prior to removing the goods from the premises. It is both the buyer’s risk and expense for removal and must be made at the conclusion of the sale unless other arrangements are made with the Julia’s Operations Manager. Please note any lots we might make arrangements for moving or storing are solely at the risk of the owner and any damage or loss occurring after the fall of the hammer becomes that of the buyer.

12. Phone Bids At the discretion of the auctioneer, phone bidding may be arranged on more expensive items, (i.e. $500 or more). In order to make arrangements to bid on the telephone at the time a lot is being sold, you must contact our office in advance of the auction. We will make arrangements to call you just prior to the lot being sold so that you may bid over the telephone. There are usually a limited number of phone lines available into the room, so if you wish to bid over the telephone, it is important for you to make your arrangements early. “Cover-me Bids”: if you wish to bid by telephone, you might also want to consider a “cover-me bid” at the time you make arrangements for phone ­bidding. A “cover-me bid” allows your phone contact here at Julia’s to still execute a predetermined bid amount for you in the case that they cannot get through to you on the telephone. Your phone agent is the only person who will have this bid and will only use it to bid in the event that he/she cannot reach you. Assuming you are reached via telephone, they would not use your bid, but rely on your verbal instructions. “Cover-me bids” are not mandatory, you can place one at your discretion, they are simply a safety device in the event you cannot be reached by telephone in time.

13. Agent Responsibility If you are registering or executing a bid for someone else under your number, please bear in mind that you are responsible for the settlement of that account with us regardless of whether the person you’re executing or registering for pays you or not.

in addition shall be 22% of the final bid price over $100,000 which will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. Winning bids placed through a third-party online platform may be subject to a higher buyer’s premium. If the Buyer’s Premium set forth on any such platform exceeds the Buyer’s Premium set forth herein, Buyer agrees to pay such additional premium charge.

15. Endangered Species Act The laws of various countries and states regulate the import, export and transport of certain plant and animal items. Julia’s has taken steps to ensure that items offered for sale that are covered by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) meet the standards for sale under this Act. Transport of these items may require special permits or licenses for import, export or delivery into certain states. It is the bidder’s responsibility to obtain all such licenses or permits. Delay or failure to obtain any such permit or license does not relieve the buyer of paying for the item and obtaining title to the item. The company makes no representation or warranty and accepts no liability whatsoever to the seller, purchaser or any third party with respect to compliance with the ESA or with respect to the availability or issuance of valid import and export permits.

16. Legal Dispute Any legal disputes arising from this auction shall be settled in the court system in the State of Maine.

17. Uniform Commercial Code The Maine Uniform Commercial Code, Title 11, Section 2-328 applies to this auction sale.

18. Acceptance of Conditions Bidding on article(s) indicates your acceptance of all of the above terms.

19. Maine Auctioneer Rules and Regulations The Maine Auctioneer Rules and regulations are regulated by the Maine Board of Licensing of Auctioneers, 35 State House Station, Augusta, Maine 04333.

20. Auctioneer’s License Numbers Auctioneer: James D. Julia ME License #AR83; NH License #2511 Mass. License #1406 Not responsible for typographical errors or omissions.

14. Buyer’s Premium Shall be reduced to 21% of the final bid price up to and including $100,000 and reduced to 19% of the final bid price over $100,000 which will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the Buyer as part of the purchase price. This is assuming the account is paid by cash, check or any equivalent of cash. If you settle your account by credit card, the Buyer’s Premium shall be the standard 24% of the final bid price up to and including $100,000 and 35

Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Bidding It’s always best to attend the auction in person to bid on the items you wish, but if for some reason you can’t attend, there is no reason that you can’t obtain some of the items that you would like to purchase. At Julia’s, absentee bidding is always a convenient, easy and safe means of acquiring items that you want. As you can see, our specialty catalogs illustrate all lots to be sold, and as well give a complete description which includes condition. These descriptions, as per the conditions of our sale in the front of your catalog, are guaranteed against major discrepancies with a major impact on the value.

If there are some items here that you think you would like to own but can’t attend the auction, we have many options to help you bid without being in the audience.

If you are the winning bidder, after the auction you will receive an invoice via email and then in the mail from us. Typically the email invoices are sent out within 24 hours after the auction, and the paper invoice is sent out 2 business days after the auction..

1. Bidding Options a. Leave a Bid Send in the form in your catalog or download a bid form from our website http://jamesdjulia. com/absentee-bidding/. You can bid by mail by simply filling out the form in the back of the catalog and sending along a 20% deposit check or credit card information. You can fax the form to us, email it to us, or call us with your absentee bid. A valid credit card is required. Your account is charged only if you are delinquent in making your payment. (There are additional fees associated with using credit cards.) If you provide us with your email address, we will send you a confirmation email to verify the lot numbers, description and amount of your bid.

Please review this confirmation to make sure that everything is entered properly.

Remember, at Julia’s, the way we conduct the absentee bids, it’s entirely possible to buy something for less than your top bid since your bids are executed competitively by our team in an attempt to buy the lot as reasonably as possible, just as though you were in attendance.

c. Live-time Bidding via the Internet Julia’s has partnered with third party online bidding platforms to offer customers the ability to bid live online from anywhere. Julia’s loads all the information contained in our printed catalog on the online bidding sites about two weeks prior to the auction. The lot number, an image of the lot, and a brief description with a presale low and high estimate will be shown on the screen.

Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform.

Julia’s may occasionally experience Internet and/ or Server service outages during which bidders may not be able to participate in the auction.

Julia’s policy is to continue to conduct the auction. d. Absentee Bidding via the Internet Julia’s loads all the information contained in our printed catalog on third party online bidding platforms about two weeks prior to the auction. You may view any of these items and submit bids up to 2 weeks prior to the auction by following their registration and absentee bid instructions. Specific information on how to do this is available on each of their sites. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform.

Julia’s may occasionally experience Internet and/ or Server service outages during which bidders may not be able to participate in the auction.

Internet absentee bidders are advised that their absentee bids may not be executed in the event of technological problems. Julia’s policy is to continue to conduct the auction.

2. How Do I Set Up a Phone Bid? Simply send in your bid form from your catalog

or download a bid form from our website www. jamesdjulia.com/absentee-bidding/ and mark the bid as a phone bid, email it to us at bid@ jamesdjulia.com, fax it to us at 207-453-2502 or call into the office 207-453-7125 to register for the lots for which you would like to bid on the telephone.

3. How Do I Register to Bid Online?

To register, contact the online bidding service, Invaluable at www.invaluable.com, www. bidsquare.com (included only during Lamps & Glass and Fine Art auctions) or www.proxibid. com (included only during Firearms auctions) at www.proxibid.com and register in advance of the auction. You will be notified that you have been approved to bid and your registration will be complete. Winning bids placed on third party online platforms may be subject to a higher Buyer’s Premium. Please read the Conditions of Sale on the third party online bidding platforms to find out the Buyer’s Premium for that platform.

4. How Do I Bid Live Through the Internet Bidding Platforms?

You will need to register for the auction with the third party online bidding platform first. Once you have been registered, watch for your lot. When the lot comes up for bid, a window will display a price the auctioneer is asking for. If the window is flashing $5,500, it means the auctioneer is asking for $5,500. As the auctioneer receives that bid and then asks for a higher bid a new amount will flash in that window. If you have registered to bid you may bid in the auction by simply clicking the bid button on your screen. Regardless of where you are in this country or where you are in the world it will automatically register on a computer at our auction site where a technician will see your bid and bid on your behalf. This innovation allows you to bid live-time during the auction.

Online bidding allows the bids to be almost instantaneously transferred to you and to us, so subsequently you can bid within the confines of that time. There are some people who like to bid

b. Phone Bids On the more expensive lots, ($500+ and up) if you feel you would really like to purchase them and not be restrained by the process of a written bid, we can make arrangements to call you at the time the lot is coming up and you may bid over the telephone on the lots as they are being sold.

Remember phone bids must be arranged well in advance of the auction (see instructions above on how to leave a bid). Also please remember there are a limited number of phones available, so if you would like to phone bid, you should make your arrangements early.

this way and some of our clients have found it both interesting and convenient to do so. If you have any questions about this please don’t hesitate to call our office, or contact Invaluable, BidSquare (included only during Lamps & Glass and Fine Art auctions) or Proxibid (included only during Firearms Auctions).

Invaluable also provides a web tutorial on bidding for those who would like more details, along with an extensive FAQ section http:// www.invaluable.com/invaluable/help.cfm.

5. How Much Time Do I Have to Bid on a Lot? If the asking bid is something you are willing to pay, do not hesitate. For the most part, the auctioneer does not stop or slow down, he simply moves along at a very brisk pace. It is always assumed by the auctioneer that the bidder knows what they want to bid and if they do not bid or hesitate to bid, it means they are not interested.

The auction process moves very rapidly whether you are live at the auction, online or on the phone. For anyone wanting to be successful, it is important that you know or make up your mind before the lot is sold just how high you will bid on that particular lot. Those who wish to think about it while the auction is in process and bid on impulse, will find themselves not being as successful, being frustrated and sometimes even paying more than they normally intended to.

6. How Much Do I Bid? Bid whatever you wish, our online and printed catalogs as well as online listings offer item descriptions which include estimated low to high value range. These estimates are in no way an indication of what the items will definitely bring. If you will check our past catalogs, you will find some items bring less than low estimates, some items bring far more than the high estimate. So it’s totally dependent upon how badly people want the items.

7. Who Bids?

There are generally two categories of absentee bidders. a. The collector type, who seriously wishes to purchase a given lot or lots. To that buyer we encourage you to bid as high as you feel comfortable bidding. If you seriously want the lot you should not hesitate to consider going above the high estimate to ensure that you get it. b. The next type of absentee bidder is the person who is a dealer buying for stock or a collector willing to buy items only if they are at a real bargain. This type of bidder will often bid on a large number of items knowing full well that not everything will bring a strong price, there are bound to be some things that will fall well below our estimate and that bidder knows that if they leave a large number of bids that they have a chance of picking up a few things at a very Visit www.jamesdjulia.com for more information

reasonable price. Some bidders will leave 3, 4, 5 or 6 pages of bids with us, based with that theory in mind. And usually they are successful with a few items and the items they are successful with tend to be very good buys.

8. What Is a “Plus 1” Bid? Some bidders not wishing to lose a lot for the same price or just slightly above what their top bid was elect to use our “Plus 1” policy. What this does is empower our staff to go one more bid for you in the event someone in the audience has bid the exact same amount of your top bid or just slightly above it. The bookkeeper will then bid one more bid which sometimes is all it takes to get the lot. Typically the auctioneer raises the increments by 10%. If you submit a “Plus 1” Bid, we will increase your bid by 10% over your bid amount. A “Plus 2” bid will increase your bid by 20%.

9. What is a “Cover” Bid? The phone bidding system is not a perfect one.

You may be out mowing the lawn and forget about your bid. Or somehow, the phone number got transposed and the phone agent is desperately trying to reach you but unbeknownst to them, they are calling the incorrect number.

Or the phone system could break down. Any myriad of other issues can arise. If you seriously want a particular item, your best strategy is to leave a cover bid.

A cover bid is a bid which you leave along with your phone bid instructions. If for any reason at all, your phone agent is not able to get in contact with you, they are authorized to bid up to that amount. Please note, your agent does not use the cover bid if they have you on the telephone. You are in control when you are on the telephone.

The cover bid is only an insurance policy in the unlikely event that your phone agent is unable to make a connection with you. Subsequently, the only way your cover bid is utilized is if your phone agent cannot get through to you. They will bid up to your cover bid and no more.

Again, please remember, the cover bid means nothing if your phone agent gets ahold of you.

38

Even though you left a $10,000, when your phone agent has you on the phone, you might decide not to go any higher than $4,000. That is your prerogative. On the other hand, you might change your mind and decide to go to $15,000.

That is still your prerogative and the benefit of being on the telephone.

If you choose to not leave a cover bid and if we do not reach you on the phone, there is nothing we can do at that point.

10. Will Julia’s Tell Me What the Top Bid is on a Lot? Absolutely not. At Julia’s we never ever divulge how much an absentee bid is or who has left bids. Under no circumstances do we ever divulge that information. We can advise you and assist you with your bids. For instance, if you only have $3,000 to spend but are interested in three separate lots all in the general value range of $3,000 and don’t know which one you should pursue, you may call our office and if two of the lots you are interested in seem to have a great deal of interest in them and the third lot has no interest whatsoever, we will gladly advise you of that. Remember, under no circumstances would we ever divulge who has bid or how much any of our absentee bids are.

11. Can I Leave an Unlimited Bid? Absolutely not. We cannot honor bids which do not have a set top amount. If you want a lot very badly, then we suggest you bid well above the estimate and pick a figure that you would feel comfortable owning it at should it go that high.

12. Does Absentee Bidding Work?

Absolutely. At our specialty auctions from anywhere to 25% to 45% of all merchandise is purchased by absentee bidders. And some items are acquired for well less than their top absentee bid.

13. Does the Auctioneer Reopen Bidding?

The James D. Julia Auctioneers must conduct their auctions in accordance with UCC statutes which specifically state that when the hammer

falls, the bidding is concluded and the winning bidder announced is the new owner. Because of this law, the auctioneer cannot and will not reopen the bidding because you decided too late to bid. This is a law and the auctioneer must abide by this. The only exception is “where a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a prior bid. The auctioneer may in his discretion reopen the bidding or declare the good sold under the bid on which the hammer was falling.” This is the only exception. Therefore, if you seriously want a lot, do not hesitate to bid because once the hammer falls it is sold and there is nothing the auctioneer can do about it.

14. How Do I Know if I Won? After the auction is over with, our staff will send out bills to all the successful bidders on the next business day. Please do not attempt to call the auction facilities the day of the auction. Our lines are frequently busy with phone bidders and we cannot tie up the lines and the office staff when not on the phone with absentee bidders.

They are extremely busy cashing out customers and very rarely have time to check the records for bids at that time. If you must call, we would advise you to call the afternoon of the first business day following the auction.

15. What is a Late Bid? We frequently process thousands of bids for an auction. Please make sure your absentee bid form is received by Julia’s no later than 4:00 pm EST the date before the auction. If you are an international bidder, or first time bidder, please allow two additional days to establish your account with Julia’s If you are mailing or faxing bids we encourage you to phone our office before the auction to confirm that we received your bids. A while ago, we sent a group of eight letters out to people in various parts of the country and for some reason, the entire packet of eight letters took 14 to 16 days to get to their destination. Please be sure to call and confirm that we’ve received your bids if they’ve been sent out seven to ten days prior to the auction.

16. How Much Does it Cost? a. Absentee Bids processed by Julia’s are a service provided to our customers totally free of charge, there is no cost to you. b. Phone Bids processed by Julia’s are a service provided to our customers totally free of charge, there is no cost to you. c. When you win an item through an internet platform, there are additional service fees. Please see the Conditions of Sale for the third party online bidding platforms for more information.

the speaker system broadcasting everything the auctioneer is saying and in front of the phone bidders sits a myriad of auction participants, many of which may be speaking with one another. Bottom-line is that an auction is an incredible arena of activity and noise and very difficult for your phone agent. The best way for success is to be prepared and do not try to converse with your agent in the process; simply say a “Yes” bid or “No” bid. If you are silent your agent may think the call has been lost and so it is always best to let them know when you are “Out” and would like to stop bidding.

17. How Does the Phone Bidding Process Work the Day of the Auction? What Should I Expect?

Your phone agent will call usually a few lots early to be sure to get you on the telephone on time to bid for the lot. Your phone agent will remind you of a few important instructions on how to successfully bid.

18. What Can I Do When I am Phone Bidding to Better My Chances of being the Winning Bidder? a. Know what you want to bid in advance.

The most successful bidders are the ones that are prepared. To maximize success, you should study the lots and make a decision as to what your ultimate bid should be before you even get on the telephone. If you know you are willing to go to $10,000 and no more and the phone agent tells you that the auctioneer is looking for $5,500, you do not need to think about anything, you simply say “Yes.”Your agent will tell you and repeat one of two messages; either “We have it,” which means there is no need to bid at this moment or “The auctioneer is looking for $5,500, do you want to bid? The auctioneer is looking for $5,500, do you want to bid?” If you want to bid, do not hesitate, do not try to invoke a strategy, do not try to measure the “pulse” of the auction bidding; simply say “Yes, bid,” but say it loudly so there can be no question that your phone agent hears you and perhaps repeat yourself. You need to understand the auction environment for your phone bid agent. The phone bidder is at a table, sometimes there are as many as 10 or 20 other phone bidders on either side of your phone bidder speaking to their bidders. In the background and overhead is

c.

b. During the bidding process, only communicate to your phone agent whether you want to bid when they ask you.

Speak loudly.

d. Do not hesitate. The auctioneer will not wait for you anymore than he would for someone in the audience. It is a fact that at every single auction, there are one or two phone bidders who complain and feel the auctioneer should have waited to give them more time to make their decision. If you want to bid, then you need to bid. e. Last of all, when arranging your telephone bids leave a cover bid as a form of insurance.

Good luck. If you have any questions concerning this service, please call before the auction and we will be glad to assist you in any way we can.

Absentee Bid Conditions

Please read if you are submitting absentee bids.

1. Important Note: Absentee bids are a service provided to our customers free of charge.

Every effort is made to execute all absentee bids.

However, you must know, that because of the hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of bids that must be processed just prior to an auction, it is inevitable that a few mistakes will occur.

Your best protection is to be there in person, but if you cannot, you must understand that this is not a perfect system and it is not at any auction house. To better serve our absentee bidders, we have what’s referred to as a “plus 1 bid” and on phone bids a “cover me bid”. You should definitely read about both of these and consider using them to help insure your participation.

We will do everything in our power to execute your bids properly, however, in the event of an error of omission, or failure to properly execute ­absentee bids, the Auctioneer shall not be held liable.

2. All absentee bids must be accompanied by a 20% deposit which will be refunded immediately after auction if your bid is unsuccessful. If your bid is successful, your 20% deposit will be applied to the purchase price and the balance due upon presentation of our bill. If time does not permit the physical 20% deposit, you may confirm your bid by your Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express.

Should you provide a credit card number, the only way that we would use your credit card number is if you default on payment, then we would bill your account for the amount due.

bid. If your bid is the only bid on a lot she will not start bidding, she will wait until the audience opens the bid and then compete with them until she has either won the lot or it has gone beyond her limit. It is therefore possible sometimes for you to buy a lot well under your top bid. If two or more bids are received on the same item from different people, the bidding will open at the next logical raise above the second highest bid.

If two absentee bids are received with the exact same amount, the first one received will take precedence.

5. All bids must be in even dollar amounts.

Bids in fractions of dollars or odd amounts will be considered the next lower even dollar amount. The minimum bid increment is usually 10% of the last bid. Therefore, if someone leaves a bid of $100.50 we will automatically round it off to $100. If you should leave a bid of $103 we will round it off to $100.

6. Open bids or bids with no set top amount or orders to just simply buy the lot, cannot be accepted by us. You must have a definite top limit before we can execute your bid. Alternatives to this are as follows:

3. To execute an absentee bid, fill out the enclosed form, listing catalog number, description and your top bid price (not including the buyers p ­ remium). Send this together with your deposit as soon as possible. If your bids are sent seven days or fewer prior to the auction, you should call our offices three days prior to the auction to confirm that we have received your bids. If they have not been received at that point in time, you should submit your bids over the telephone.

a. Telephone Bids: Lot must be worth $500+ each. This can be done by giving us a credit card number to affirm your bids or sending a 20% deposit for what you might anticipate to bid on the object. (NOTE: There are limited phone lines and phone bids will be handled on a first come, first served basis.) Cover Me Bid: To help ensure that you don’t miss out on an object, some people like to place a cover me bid at the time they make phone bid arrangements. No system is perfect and sometimes it is impossible, for one reason or another, to get through to the client on the telephone. A Cover Me Bid is a bid left only with your phone agent. If he/she cannot get through to you on the phone, they will bid up to that amount on your behalf. The only way they execute this bid is if they cannot get through to you.

4. Bids are handled in a competitive manner by our bookkeeper who bids on your behalf in an attempt to buy the object for less than your top

b. Plus 1 Bid: Some bidders concerned that their lot might just go for one bid above their top limit, leave a top bid plus one. This works as

follows: the top bid submitted might be $1,000, but not wishing to lose the lot for simply one more bid, the plus one bid allows the bookkeeper to bid one more time on your behalf. Generally a bid increment is 10%, so if you left a $1,000 bid plus 1 it would allow her to go $1,000 plus 100. If you said $1,000 plus 2 bids that would mean $1,000 plus $200. (NOTE: One possible problem that occasionally arises with ­absentee bids is when someone in the audience bids exactly the amount which you specify is your limit. In such a case, we would not go one extra bid unless your bid sheet indicates plus one bid.)

7. Notification of Success: Only successful bidders are contacted. A written bill is usually sent within three (3) working days after the auction. The bill will be accompanied by shipping information. Unsuccessful bidders are not contacted. Phone inquiries regarding your success cannot be answered until the second business day after the auction.

8. Shipping: If you are a successful bidder, a bill will be sent shortly after the auction. This bill must be paid upon receipt. Purchasers should indicate their desired method of shipment if such is necessary. We will be pleased to assist you by shipping items which you purchase. A charge for this service includes labor, packing materials, shipping and insurance. Please Note: Certified check, or wire transfers or any other form of guaranteed funds will expedite shipping.

Shipping can take 14 to 21 days after payment is received (depending upon gallery work load).

9. The Shipping Department may decline to execute instructions to ship items which are too large or too fragile to be shipped by common ­carrier. In such cases, the only way we can ship these special items is by way of a letter from the buyer releasing us from the responsibility of any damage that might occur in shipping.

10. Bidding on any article(s) indicates your acceptance of these terms above. If you need additional information on any of the items, please ­contact our office.
