This auction is automated and takes place solely online through our website
www.adams.ie
During this period of open bidding you will be able to see the current win-
ning bid on each lot. You may place a higher maximum bid of your choice
and the bidding will automatically increase by the next increment.
If your maximum bid is several increments higher than the current bid, the
bidding will still only increase by one increment until there is a competing
bid in which case the system will move up one increment higher in your
favour. This process will
continue until your maximum amount is outbid.
**The system is designed to give the buyer the best chance of winning their
desired lot at the most competitive price, i.e. it will not jump to the maximum
bid entered unless there is a competing bid just below it**
EXAMPLE:
Bidder A leaves a maximum bid of €100, bidder B leaves a maximum bid of
€200 on the same lot. Bidder A is now knocked out of the lead and bidder
B holds the current winning bid that auto adjusts to €110 (NB not their
maximum bid). The system auto adjusts the bid to the next winning
increment. User B’s bid will only be further executed if another user bids
above their current bid of €110 up to their maximum of €200, after which
they will be knocked out and an e-mail issued advising them to increase
their bid.
Bidders are automatically informed by email if they are the current winning
bidder, or if they have been outbid by another competing bidder. If you
have been outbid and the auction is still open, you are free to leave a
higher bid.
At the end of the defined bidding period, 2pm on Thursday 8th July, if the
highest bid offered meets the minimum price designated by the Auctioneer
(i.e. the seller’s reserve price), the lot is sold.
In a timed auction, the closing time is staggered, with bidding for lot 1
ending at 2pm and each subsequent lot closing thirty seconds after the
previous. If there is a flurry of bidding on a lot just as it reaches its closing
time, the lot is kept open for an extended period to enable everybody to
fairly get their bids in.
All winning bidders will be notified by email once the auction has fully
ended.

collection/delivery of your purchases. Auctioneers commission on purchases is charged at the rate of 25% (in-
clusive of VAT). Terms: Strictly cash, card, bankers draft or cheque drawn on an Irish bank. Cheques will take
a minimum of eight workings days to clear the bank, unless they have been vouched to our satisfaction prior
to the sale, or you have a previous cheque payment history with Adam’s. We also accept payment by credit and
debit card (Visa & MasterCard only). For payments by bank transfer please ensure all bank charges are paid in
addition to the invoice total, in order to avoid delays in the release of items. Goods will only be released upon

3. VAT Regulations
All lots are sold within the auctioneers VAT margin scheme. Revenue Regulations require that the buyers pre-
mium must be invoiced at a rate which is inclusive of VAT. This is not recoverable by any VAT registered buyer.
4. Condition
It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot. In relation to Condition
Reports whilst we make certain observations on the lot, which are intended to be as helpful as possible, referenc-
es in the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance. The absence of such a reference does not
imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence
of any others. The condition report is an expression of opinion only and must not be treated as a statement of
fact. Please ensure that condition report requests are submitted before 12 noon on Wednesday 7th July 2021 as
we cannot guarantee that they will be dealt with after this time.
5. Absentee Bids
We are happy to execute absentee or written bids for bidders who are unable to bid online themselves and can
also arrange for bidding to be conducted by telephone. However, these services are subject to special conditions
(see conditions of sale in this catalogue). All arrangements for absentee and telephone bidding must be made
before 5pm on the day prior to sale. Bidding by telephone may be booked on all lots. Early booking is advisable
as availability of lines cannot be guaranteed. **Please note that once online bids are placed these bids may not
be cancelled or retracted **
In the rare and unlikely event of an unforeseen technical issue occurring in the final stages of online bidding,
the auctioneer reserves the right, as per Condition 6 in our Conditions of Sale, to re-offer the lot at a later
point between existing bidders.
6. All lots are being sold under the Conditions of Sale as printed in this cata-
logue and on display on our website.

ror of description or for the condition or authenticity of any Lot.

or by any of their employees, servants or agents in respect of
any Lot and any condition or warranty express, or implied by
statute or otherwise is hereby specifically excluded.Forgeries
20. Any amount paid by a buyer in respect of a Lot which, if it is
proved within three (3) years of the date of the auction at which
it was purchased, to have been a Forgery shall be refunded to
the seller subject to the provisions hereof, provided that:
(a) The Lot has been returned by the buyer to the Auctioneer
within three (3) years of the date of the auction in the same
condition in which it was at the time of the auction together with
evidence proving that it is a Forgery, the number of the Lot and
the date of the auction at which it was purchased;
(b) The Auctioneer is satisfied that the Lot is a Forgery and that
the buyer has and is able to transfer good and marketable title
to the Lot free from any third party claims;
FURTHER PROVIDED THAT the buyer shall have no rights
hereunder if:
(i) The description of the Lot in the Catalogue at the time of the
auction was in accordance with the then generally accepted
opinion of scholars or experts or fairly indicated that there was
a conflict of such opinion;
(ii) The only method of establishing at the time of the auction in
question that the Lot was a Forgery would have been by means
of scientific processes which were not generally accepted for
use until after the date of the auction or which were unreason-
ably expensive or impractical.
The buyer’s sole entitlement under this condition is to a refund
of the actual amount paid by him in respect of the Lot. Under
no circumstances shall the Auctioneer be liable for any damage,
loss (including consequential, indirect or economic loss) or
expense suffered or incurred by the buyer by reason of the Lot
being a Forgery.

use of any photographs or illustrations of the Lot purchased by
the buyer for such purposes as the Auctioneer may require.
22. New VAT Regulations

Revenue Regulations require that the buyers premium must
be invoiced at a rate which is inclusive of VAT. This VAT is not
recoverable by any VAT registered buyer.
