· We move very fast, if you are interested in an item do not hesitate as you will loose the item.    
 
This is a live auction, we accept bids from the floor, by left bid, by phone bid and online. You may place an absentee bid online 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 online record of an auction shows the online 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 IT SAYS ONLINE THAT THE EARLIER BID TAKES PRECEDENCE IS ONLY TRUE FOR BIDS PLACED ONLINE NOT FOR BIDS IN THE ROOM. 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. SOME BIDS MAY BE DELAYED DUE TO DATA TRANSMISSION (AND HUMAN TRANSMISSION) SO THAT THE AUCTIONEER NEVER RECOGNIZES A BID FROM THE INTERNET. The auctioneer is the final determination on who is the winning bidder- NOT THE INTERNET CLERK or ONLINE RECORD OF BIDS.    
  
MORE DETAILS    
 
1. A BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THE HAMMER PRICE OF EACH LOT:  The buyer's premium on property purchased on online LIVE AUCTIONS WILL BE IN THE AMOUNT OF 27% OF THE FINAL BID PRICE. There is sometimes a different buyer's premium for specialty auctions. Please ask us if you have any question as to the buyer's premium.

5. Each lot in the catalog is given a low and high estimate representing that range which, in the opinion of Nadeau's 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.
