Bidders please note:1. Bidding normally starts in the auction room and the lot will be adjudicated ignoring the Internet unless an Internet bidder has been recognised before the last price is reached.2. Please click on the bid button as early as possible for your FIRST BID in the bidding as it may take a moment to connect via the server due to the differ ent Internet connection speeds around the world. Once your bid is relayed the auctioneer notes an Internet presence and will delay the bidding at the end giving you a chance to finalise your bid.3. When and only when there is an Internet bidder the display will show GOING GOING GONE! in sequence confirming the end of the bidding. You must get your final bid through at the moment of the display of the first GOING.4. Sometimes several Internet bids may be made at the same moment. The server accepts the first bid received and ignores the others at the same price. This explains why you may have bid but the next bid is NOT for you. Please bid again immediately.5. Every Internet bidder is automatically awarded a credit limit of CHF 20'000 or equivalent in z. If more is required before the sale just send us an E-Mail at: “[email protected]” mention- ing the new desired credit limit. During the sale you can ask to increase your credit limit through the “Finance” page of the Live Auction Software. Please note that in this case a few minutes could be needed to receive the answer.6. Because of persons who have missed lots because of auction speed, we strongly urge you to E-Mail us a listing of all lots or groups of lots on which you may bid (no obligation), so the auctioneer may be aware. We also suggest you to give us a phone number where we can reach you during the sale in case of any difficulties. If you need help in any way during the sale please contact our auction secret- ariat at: tel. + 41.22.727.0770, which will connect you with the appropriate person.
