Vetted web sales since 1996. This is a "guaranteed authentic" sale in conjunction with ebay liveauctions (http://www.ebayliveauctions.com). Many works offered are in exceptional condition and would not normally be available except through selected dealer's offering. See condition reports for notes on these rarely available by auction works.

Important Fraud Warning: Respond only to email and send email only to a rareart.com address.

Please Note:

  1. A maximum of $500 can be charged to accepted credit cards due to securily and handling charges (see all payment options at link left).
    In order to process credit card payments, the following information will be needed:
    - card number
    - expiration date
    - verification code (3 digits on the back of the card)
    - billing street address and zip code

  2. A minimum shipping and handling fee of $25 will be charged on all shipping by Creighton-Davis.

  3. Change in absentee bidding format: Advance bids are opened and compared when an auction lot is opened for bidding and will no longer be posted in advance with lots-see notes below.

Rareart.com auctions uses the time tested auction bidding system of collecting advance bids and comparing these against live bidder's offers. All advance bids are "opened" at the time the lot comes up for bidding. The auctioneer enters your bid against other bidders or the reserve until your bid limit is reached. The bids are awarded to the earliest received. Live bidders are offered the opportunity to bid against absentee bids at each bid level. If there are no live bids and the reserve is met, the lot is awarded to the earliest absentee bid received at that level. Bids may not be withdrawn once entered. In some cases you may revise your bid limit downward if there are no other competiting bids...call or email us if this becomes an issue. This policy protects against sham bidding where initially a very high bid is entered and then, at the last minute, is withdrawn. Bidders on the net may submit higher bids on a work they have already bid on if they wish to improve their chances of buying any lot. Bidders only bid against other bidders. During live bidding, the software rejects a bid which comes from the same registration id as the prior bid.

Advance bidding is recommended as the live portion goes very fast and it may not be possible to compete if there are any hook up or connection delays. Phone bidding is also available by reservation and to the extent we have lines to handle demand. Click here for further details.
