Did you use the full amount of my absentee bid as the first bid when the item
was sold?
We may have been forced to under the following circumstance:
Your bid was one increment above the second highest absentee bid, and we had two or
more absentee bids.
This action is necessary to rightfully eliminate under bidders.
For further clarification on this point, please call us at: (603) 623-5314
My absentee bid should have won that item, why didn't it?
- Two floor bidders vie against one another, and due to the random starting bid, and
increments used, they reach the exact amount of your bid. We were not authorized to go
another increment for you, so the floor bidder wins it. We strongly encourage you to
attend the auction in person.
- Another bidder submitted the same amount as you, but his bid takes precedence over
yours because it was entered sooner.
- You bid using our on-line system, and your bid was
reduced according to the increments as posted.
- Note: Bids entered by those attending the auction in person take precedence
- Note: Jones and Horan will not be held responsible in
any way for any error in executing absentee or telephone bids.
We suggest Bidders plan to attend the auction, and bid for themselves.
Can I watch the Jones and Horan auctions as they take place on my
computer?
Yes, we broadcast a Live Auction Video over the internet.
Just come to our website 1 hour before the start of the auction, and click on the
link that will be posted for you to connect to the broadcast.
Note: You will NOT be able to bid during this Live Auction Video - it will be
similar to watching the auction on TV.
Will Jones and Horan hold auction items for me for more than 10 days, without
my paying for them?
Sorry, but the answer is No. If you are not prepared to pay promptly for our auction
items, you are not welcome to bid with us.
Can you ship my purchases?
Yes, once payment has been confirmed, we can ship your small items if needed.
Here is a general guideline on what to expect for shipping fees:
- $12 plus insurance for 5 day standard United Parcel Post.
- $23 plus insurance for 2 day air .
Insurance will always be purchased unless requests to the contrary are received in
writing.
There are additional fees for one day mail.
Large items will be the responsibilty of the buyer, but Jones & Horan will assist whenever possible.
May I bid using the telephone during the auction?
Telephone bids will be accepted on lots with estimates of $1,000 and above.
Arrangements must be made at least 5 days prior to the auction and only if we have staff phone bidders available.
Please note: We offer this free service as a
convenience to our clients, but will not be responsible for errors or
failures to execute bids. Bidders are encouraged to attend the
auction in person, and bid for themselves.
Will Jones & Horan change the values on shipping statements for overseas
Buyers?
No - any statements generated by Jones and Horan will reflect the values achieved at
the auction.
Will Jones & Horan pay the International Import taxes?
No - any taxes generated by the Auction Sale will be paid by the Buyer, not Jones
& Horan.
