FOR MORE INFORMATION

If you are unable to attend an auction in person, and wish to place bids, you may consider instructing Spink China's Bid Department to bid on your behalf. Upon receiving your written instructions, our representative will make every effort possible to try to acquire the lot(s) of your choice at the lowest price possible, and never to exceed the top limit you indicate.

This service is complimentary and with strict confidence. Spink China offers this value-added service as a convenience to our clients who are unable to attend the auction, however, Spink China will not be held responsible for error, omission or failure to execute bids.

To place bids, please use the absentee bid form provided in the catalog. Be sure to accurately record the lot number(s) and the top price you are willing to pay for each lot. "Buy" bids will not be accepted. Always indicate a "top limit" - the amount to which you would bid if you were attending the auction yourself.

Bids may be placed by telephone, but are accepted subject to Spink China's discretion and are at caller's risk. At the sole discretion of Spink China, telephone bids may be recorded. By bidding on the telephone, prospective purchasers consent thereto.

To place telephone bids, or for further information, please call our Administrator Amy Yung at +852 25 300 100.

Alternative bids should be indicated by using the word "OR" between lot numbers. If your bid on an early lot is successful, we will not continue to bid on other lots for you. Or, if your early bids are unsuccessful, we will continue to execute bids for alternative lots until a bid is successful. Bids must always be placed in the same order as the lot numbers appear in the catalog.

BUYER'S PREMIUM

Each absentee bid form should contain bids for one auction only; the auction code number should appear in the top left-hand corner of the form. Please place your bids as early as possible. In the event of identical bids, the earliest received will take precedence.

Successful bidders will be notified and invoiced within a few days of the auction. All paid-subscribing bidders will receive a list of auction results.

The "top limit" you indicate on your bid form is for the hammer price only. A 20% buyer's premium will be added to the successful bid price for each lot you buy and is payable by you.
