  4. 4. All bids shall conform to the bidding increments set forth in the Conditions of Sale. I agree with the above terms and the Conditions of Sale. This form constitutes a binding commitment to purchase all successful bids (this box must be checked in order to process your absentee bids). *

In the case of a tie with a live bid from the floor, phone or internet, priority will be given to the live bid. For buyers unable to participate live in the salesroom or on the telephone, we offer the option of leaving absentee bids. A trained staff member will bid on your behalf alternately against other bidders until the bidding ends. In the event that the other bidders drop out before reaching the full amount of your absentee bid, you will purchase the lot at the next increment.

In the case of a tie with another absentee bid, priority is given to the first bid received by Michaan's Auctions.

Note: Absentee bids must be received by Michaan's Auctions no later than 5pm the day before the sale date.
