We have just completed our auction and it was an extraordinary success. However, something we have learned in the past 45 years in the auction business is that no matter how successful a sale is, there are always some items that do not sell.

At Julia's as a standard policy, immediately after an auction we post a list of everything that did not sell. If you see something that you would like to acquire, please use our automated system to submit an offer. It is important to note:

1. Some consignors may decide not to sell even if the offer is in or above estimate. Whereas some consignors might consider an offer below estimate.
2. If you submit an offer, our policy is to convey the offer to the consignor. If they accept, we get back to you as soon as the consignor approves.
3. If you are interested in an item, it is imperative that you submit your offer immediately. Assuming a consignor is willing to sell, everything is on a first come, first served basis.
4. It is also important to note because of the tremendous amount of responses we receive, that we cannot respond to everyone. On the more mature offers, we try to personally get back to you even if the consignor declines. However, on low offers if they are declined by the consignor, we may not have time to respond to you.
5. If you are successful, once we receive approval from the consignor, we will get back to you immediately.
6. Because of the great amount of activity it is very difficult to get back to offer makers if their offer is not accepted so this is not really a "haggling" process and we encourage you, if you want the lot, to make your very best offer on the first go round.
7. If your offer is accepted, you will receive an "offer to buy form" which must be signed to confirm you purchase.

Please note, if your offer is accepted, it is subject to the Buyer's Premium just as it would be if you bought at the auction. Thank you for your interest in our sale and for all of your support. If you have any questions, please call. Good luck and thanks for your business.

Sincerely,

Jim Julia
