This is a live auction, we accept bids from the floor, by left bid, by phone bid and on eBay. You may place an absentee bid on Ebay and still not prevail when the selling price is the same or, in some cases, lower than the winning bid. The reason for this is that the auctioneer takes bids from where he/she sees them first. A person(live in the room) relays internet bids to the auctioneer and sometimes the auctioneer will see one of the other bids (gallery, phone or gallery absentee) first. If the Ebay record of an auction shows the Ebay bidder at the top of the bids, but has a floor bidder at the same price THE FLOOR BIDDER BOUGHT IT. This occurs at every live auction where internet bids are handled-usually several times every auction. THE FACT THAT EBAY SAYS THE EARLIER BID TAKES PRECEDENCE IS ONLY TRUE FOR BIDS PLACED ON EBAY NOT FOR A REAL LIVE AUCTION. The auctioneer in a live auction DOES NOT KNOW YOUR TOP BID and, in fact, doesn't know whether your bid is absentee or in real time. IF YOU EMAIL ABOUT THIS ISSUE YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO THIS PARAGRAPH. We will not return calls on this issue. ALSO SOME BIDS MAY BE DELAYED DUE TO DATA TRANSMISSION (AND HUMAN TRANSMISSION) SO THAT THE AUCTIONEER NEVER RECOGNIZES A BID FROM THE INTERNET (THIS TENDS TO HAPPEN QUIET FREQUENTLY AND IS NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE CONTROL OVER, YOUR ONLY GUARANTEE IS TO BE IN THE ROOM BIDDING LIVE) The auctioneer is the final determination on who is the winning bidder- NOT THE INTERNET CLERK or EBAY RECORD OF BIDS.

MORE DETAILS

1.	For our important sales except for property purchased on eBay live
auctions, A BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THE HAMMER PRICE OF EACH LOT:
The buyer's premium is 15% of the final bid up to and including $50,000.00, and an additional 10% for the remaining balance above $50,000.00.  The buyer's premium on property purchased on EBAY LIVE AUCTIONS WILL BE IN THE AMOUNT OF 20% OF THE FINAL BID PRICE.

2.	All property is sold AS IS/WHERE IS and all sales are final. The
Auction house will, to the best of their ability describe the items for sale, there are no warranties expressed or implied. The auction house is NOT responsible for the correctness, nor has the auction house deemed to have made any representation or warranty on the description, quality, size, importance, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or assumption of liability.  Nadeau's Auction Gallery Inc. does not guarantee authorship or signatures of paintings. The bidder is solely responsible for inspection of the property before bidding in order to determine its condition, size and whether it has been professionally restored or repaired.

3.	The Auctioneer, at his sole discretion, reserves the right to reject
any opening bid, which he feels is unacceptable or too low. The auctioneer also reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale.

4.	Once the Auctioneer announces "Sold," title to the property will
immediately pass to the highest bidder acknowledged by the Auctioneer. Once title to the property has passed to the highest bidder, such bidder (a) assumes all risks and responsibilities (b) will pay the full purchase price.

5. 	ESTIMATES Each lot in the catalogue is given a low and high estimate
representing that range which, in the opinion of Nadeau' Auction Gallery, represents a fair and probable auction value. When possible, the estimate is based on previous auction records of comparable property, condition, rarity, quality and provenances. The estimates are often determined several months before a sale and are therefore subject to change upon further research of the property, or to reflect market conditions or currency fluctuations.
Estimates are subject to revision. Actual prices realized for items can fall below or above this range. An estimate of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer's premium.

6. 	BIDDING Nadeau's Auction Gallery reserves the right, at our complete
discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid, as well as the right to refuse to acknowledge any bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. The auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, and to combine any two or more lots. In the event of error or dispute between bidders, or in the event of doubt on our part as to the validity of any bid, whether during or after the sale, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale, or to reoffer and resell the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Nadeau's Auction Gallery sale record shall be conclusive.

7.	Payment: All items purchased in person must be paid for on the day
of the sale. All items purchased via absentee, phone or Internet bidding must be paid for within 7 business days after the auction. For items purchased through eBay live auctions, Nadeau's Auction Gallery Inc. will send an invoice to all winning bidders via email, or will call within 72 hours of completion of said auction. Payment must be made within the 7 days following the auction or a NPB being placed on your eBay account. Personal checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Nadeau's Auction Gallery Inc., or if a bank authorization has been received guaranteeing a personal check.  Nadeau's Auction Gallery Inc. reserves the right to hold items paid by check until the check clears. There is a handling charge of $25.00 for dishonored checks.

8.	All purchases are subject to 6% CT sales tax unless purchaser has CT
sales tax exemption number. Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in CT when accompanied by the proper documentation. Items shipped or mailed out of the State of Connecticut by an independent Carrier are also exempt from CT sales tax.

9.	As a service to the purchaser, Nadeau's Auction Gallery Inc. will
provide the names of local shippers with whom the purchaser may deal directly. Regardless of shipping method, payment must have been received and checks must have cleared prior to release of property.
