Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation.

Estimates do not include the Bidder's Premium, any applicable Taxes, and any other applicable Charges. HIGH and LOW ESTIMATES are provided for each lot for reference only. The actual selling/hammer price may be higher or lower based on Bidder demand. 5. RESERVES. A reserve is the confidential minimum price established by Himalayan Specialties and the consignor.

Most lots have a confidential reserve, and the lots with reserve prices will be sold to the highest Bidder if the bid is equal to or greater than the confidential reserve. 6. BIDDER'S PREMIUM. A 20% Bidder's Premium will be added to the final price of each lot purchased through Himalayan Specialties and will be paid by all Bidders without exception. 7. SALES TAX.
