Estimates: The estimated values shown are preliminary anticipations of what lots are likely to realize. While we tend not to accept items from consignors with “reserves”, we must satisfy Florida state law by declaring that any and all items in this sale either are or may be subject to reserve. In the instance that a reserve does exist, it will not be greater than the low estimate.
In the event of a tie bid between a floor and absentee bidder, the floor bidder will prevail.
