GARTH’S POLICY (continued)<br />
CONDITION REPORTS:<br />
Absentee bidders should call for an updated condition report. This report supersedes the catalog description. Our staff will take a list of the items you<br />
would like examined and give you a time to call back for a detailed report. Photographs are also available for a nominal fee.<br />
ABSENTEE BIDS:<br />
Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. accepts absentee bids including internet bids. These bids are given to an experienced bidder to execute competitively. All absentee<br />
items are purchased as inexpensively as possible. Although our absentee bidding system is 100% honest, it is not foolproof and Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. is<br />
not responsible for failing to execute any absentee bids. A $50.00 minimum bid is required on all lots. Absentee bids must be submitted in (a minimum<br />
of) $5.00 increments. <strong>Inc</strong>rements less than $5.00 will not be observed. Garth’s <strong>Auctions</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. also accepts telephone and live auction internet bids. For<br />
