CONDITIONS OF SALE

Absentee bidding is a convenience offered to our customers and, while we will make every effort to
execute your instructions, Seattle   Auction House is not liable or responsible for any errors or failure to
do so.  The auctioneer has the sole and exclusive power, discretion, and authority to regulate the
bidding and its increments.

A Reserve is the confidential minimum price established by Seattle Auction House and the consignor.  
Seattle Auction House prohibits consignors from bidding on their own property & implements the
reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor.  The purchaser will be the highest bidder acknowledged
by the auctioneer.  Actual reserve figures cannot be divulged, but Seattle Auction House will tell you if
an item carries a reserve should you ask.  We try to limit the number of reserve items on the Premium
Evening Sessions to 10% of the total Evening Session lots.

1. Prior to sale, all bidders must register with a Seattle Auction House representative and receive a
bidding number. A bidding number will be required of the successful bidder at the fall of the
Auctioneer's hammer for each lot.

2. The Auctioneer and the Consignor assume no risk, liability or responsibility for the authenticity or the
authorship of any property identified in the catalogue (that is, the identity of the creator or the period,
culture, source or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of any property is identified
herein). All property is sold "As Is" and neither the Auctioneer nor the Consignor makes any warranties
or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall be
responsible for the correctness or any implied warranty or merchantability or any implied warranty of
fitness for a particular purpose as it relates to description, genuineness, attribution, provenance,
safety, reliability or condition of the property. If any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose can be construed from the catalogue, auction, or bill of sale, such warranties are
disclaimed by the Auctioneer and the Consignor. No statement in the catalogue or made at the sale or
in the Bill of Sale or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an
admission of liability.

3. A premium equal to 14 percent of the successful bid will be added thereto and is payable by the
purchaser as part of the total purchase price.

4. The State of Washington Sales Tax is computed on this total purchase price. The purchaser will be
required to pay the Sales Tax unless exempted through possession of a valid Washington State Sales
Tax number.  

5. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any property at any time before actual sale.

6. Unless otherwise announced by the Auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered
in the catalogue. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bid
acknowledged by the Auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders,
the Auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion either to determine the successful bidder, or to
re-offer and re-sell the article in dispute. If the Auctioneer determines that any opening bid is not
commensurate with the value of the article offered, he may reject the bid; and if, having acknowledged
an opening bid he decides that any advance is not sufficient, he may reject the advance.

9. On the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer, title to the offered lot passes to the highest bidder who,
thereupon will pay the full purchase price therefore or such part as the Auctioneer may require. All
property shall be removed by the purchaser at his expense on the day of sale and, if not so removed,
storing arrangements will be made by the purchaser of the lot(s) on the day of the sale. Any damage to
or loss of any item purchased which is left with the Auctioneer after the day of purchase is the
purchaser's sole responsibility. If the foregoing conditions or any other applicable conditions herein
are not complied with, in addition to other remedies available to the Auctioneer and the Consignor by
law, including without limitation the right to hold the purchaser liable for the bid price, the Auctioneer at
its option, may either (a) cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages all payments made by the
purchaser, or (b) re-sell the property on 3 days notice to the purchaser and for the account and risk of
the purchaser, either publicly or privately, and in such event the purchaser shall be liable for the
payment of any deficiency plus all costs, including warehousing, the expenses of both sales, and the
Auctioneer's commission at its regular rates and all other charges due hereunder, and incidental
charges. No claims shall be allowed after removal of goods and no article shall be re-sold for
purchaser at the sale where purchased.

10. The Auctioneer reserves the right to cancel the sale or any portion thereof without prior or further
notice, and to announce at any time additional conditions of sale.

The Seattle Auction House and the Consignor assume no risk, liability or responsibility for the
authenticity or the authorship of any property identified in the catalogue (that is, the identity of the
creator or the period, culture, source or origin as the case may be, with which the creation of any
property is identified herein). All property is sold "As Is" and neither the Auctioneer nor the Consignor
makes any warranties or representations of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no
event shall be responsible for the correctness or any implied warranty or merchantability or any implied
warranty of fitness for a particular purpose as it relates to description, genuineness, attribution,
provenance, safety, reliability or condition of the property. If any implied warranties of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose can be construed
from the catalogue, auction, or bill of sale, such warranties are disclaimed by the Seattle Auction
House and the Consignor.  No statement in the catalogue or made at the sale or in the Bill of Sale or
invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty or representation or an admission of liability.

1. Seattle Auction House acts as agent for the seller. The contract for the sale of the property is
therefore made between the seller and the buyer.
2. All items are sold "as is" without any representations or warranties by SAH or the consignor as to
condition, quality, merchantability or provenance. No allowance will be made for errors and omissions
in cataloging or for any imperfection no noted. It is prospective buyers duty to inspect all items carefully
before bidding.
3. SAH reserves the right to withdraw any property before the sale and shall have no liability for such
withdrawal.
4. A Buyer's Premium of 14% will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser
as part of the total purchase price.
5. SAH reserves the right to refuse any bid. The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be
the purchaser. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or of doubt on our part as to the validity of
any bid, the auctioneer will have the final discretion to determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale
or re-offer and resell the item in dispute.
6. All auctions held during the day are absolute auctions; there are no reserve prices. The Evening
Session offers a small percentage of lots with a reserve. A reserve is the confidential minimum price
acceptable to the consignor.
7. Removal shall be at the expense, liability and risk of the purchaser and can be only achieved by full
payment of purchase. All goods may be sold at purchaser's risk if left over 7 days.
8. Purchases may be made with cash, check or credit card. Purchases totaling $500.00 or more must
be secured with a credit card.
9. SAH does, at our discretion, accept absentee bids without charge in advance of sale by telephone,
fax, or in writing on bidding forms available from us. All bids must state the highest bid price the bidder
is willing to pay. Our staff will attempt to obtain the lowest possible bid price. In the event identical bids
are submitted, the earliest bid submitted will take precedence. Absentee bids shall be executed in
competition with other absentee bids, any applicable reserve and bids from other auction participants.
Winning bidders will be notified the following day of the auction session.

When used in the conditions of sale, the term "auctioneer" shall refer to SAH and any agents and
employees who perform auctioneering services on behalf of SAH.

By participating in any sale, you acknowledge that you are bound by these terms and conditions
