Juliet and Friends refuse any negotiation relating to the condition or age of an item after the fall of the hammer.

Telephone bidding is available only for lots with estimated values above $1000 and 2% of service charge will be added to the hammer price for labor cost, thus a premium of 24% will be added to the hammer price for a lot won through telephone bidding.
