11 th will still work).
Auction Procedures
First of all, relax! Because this is an auction rather than a fixed-price catalog, there is no need to
rush to get ahead of other collectors. You should receive this catalog with at least a week to
browse before having to send bids. If you did not receive your catalog in a timely manner, let
me know so that I can try to remedy the problem in the future.
Bids must be received by Sunday, October 10th. Polyphony's FAX number is: 847-831-5577
(in case of any problems with the regular FAX number, use 847-831-4409). You may send Email
to POLYPHONY2@AOL.COM (note the 2 in that address!) In case of ties, the earliest bid
will be the winner. Send no money until you are notified of your winning bids (invoices are
sent within a few days of the close, and all bidders are notified - even those with no winnings).
Winning bidders must send payment in full or deposit (see below) within 4 weeks. Orders paid
by money order (or personal check from established customers) will be shipped within a day or
two of receipt of payment. Personal checks on an individual's first order or two may require 2
weeks to clear. Foreign customers should make payment in U.S. dollars, payable through a U.S.
bank. Foreign postal money orders denominated in U.S. dollars are also acceptable, as are wire
transfers. Payment is also accepted through Visa, Mastercard, American Express & PayPal.
Or you may pre-authorize credit card payment as discussed above.
Shipping and packing charges (with insurance) for U.S. orders are added at the rate of $7.50 for
the first 3 LP's, tapes, or CD’s, and $.50 for each additional. Orders including books or 78's will
have shipping charges computed individually, since larger boxes, more packing material, and
greater weights are involved. Similarly, shipments of CD’s alone will cost a little less. Rates for
foreign shipments by insured air mail (surface mail is no longer available as of May 2007) now
$32.00 for the first LP or tape, and $2.50 for each additional. Canadian insured air mail rates
are $25.00 (1st 3 items); $1.00 (each additional). For foreign parcels under four pounds, I will
also quote the less-expensive uninsured rate as an option on each invoice.
I will reserve records for 6 months for a deposit of 10% of the invoice amount. Please
understand that deposits are not refundable should you fail to remit the balance on time, nor does
forfeiture of a deposit eliminate responsibility to make good on bids: individuals who do not
honor their bids do not receive further catalogs.
Changes in standing bids (increases or decreases in amounts offered; additions to or withdrawals
of bids) are accepted if I receive them by the auction's deadline. I expect bidders to make good
on the offers standing on that date. If you wish to bid on more items than you can afford, please
prioritize your bids and indicate the total that you can spend. I will run down your winning bids,
stop at your limit, and bill you only for those.
