Viewing<br />
Catalogues<br />
Online <strong>cat</strong>alogues can be viewed at<br />
www.gibsonsauctions.com.au approximately three weeks<br />
prior to the auction date.<br />
Complimentary printed <strong>cat</strong>alogues are available<br />
at Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers.<br />
Symbols<br />
Occasionally, a symbol is printed next to a lot number,<br />
indi<strong>cat</strong>ing a special clause associated with the sale of<br />
the item/s. Further information on symbols within our<br />
<strong>cat</strong>alogues can be found on Page 1.<br />
Viewing<br />
Auction viewings are open to the public and usually take<br />
place three or four days prior to the auction date, at the<br />
lo<strong>cat</strong>ion/s listed in the auction <strong>cat</strong>alogue and on the website.<br />
Lot Descriptions<br />
Lot Descriptions provide basic <strong>cat</strong>alogue information<br />
such as dimensions, date or age, medium, attribution,<br />
provenance and quantity.<br />
All lots are guaranteed for fourteen (14) days from the<br />
auction date.<br />
Estimates<br />
Estimates are printed in the <strong>cat</strong>alogue beside every lot and<br />
take into account rarity, condition, quality and provenance.<br />
The reserve is the amount at which the item is available<br />
for purchase. The reserve is an undisclosed confidential<br />
amount which is set at, or below the low estimate.<br />
The reserve will never exceed the low estimate at Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers. Many lots are sold without reserve.<br />

Bidding<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer four bidding options:<br />
1. Auction Room Bidding<br />
To bid in person we suggest you arrive early so that you<br />
have sufficient time to register for a bidding number prior<br />
to the auction. If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s<br />
Auctioneers & Valuers please bring photo identifi<strong>cat</strong>ion,<br />
such as a driver’s licence or passport with you.<br />
2. Telephone Bidding<br />
Gibson’s Auctioneers & Valuers offer telephone bidding on<br />
all lots, at all auctions.<br />
Telephone Bidding is a convenient solution if you are unable<br />
to attend an auction in person. A Gibson’s Auctioneers<br />
& Valuers staff member will call you approximately 5 lots<br />
in advance and with your instruction, bid on your behalf<br />
at the auction.<br />
Please note: Telephone Bids must be organised at least<br />
24 hours prior to the auction and that occasionally, the<br />
number of telephone bidders available may be restricted<br />
when the auction is offsite.<br />
To organise a Telephone Bid please follow the link<br />
to the Telephone Bidding form on our website:<br />
www.gibsonsauctions.com.au. Please fill in & return<br />
via email to mail@gibsonsauctions.com.au<br />
If this is your first time bidding with Gibson’s Auctioneers &<br />
Valuers, an email address is to be supplied when you submit<br />
your Telephone Bid, along with clear Photo ID verifying<br />
your address.
