Antique Trader. These publications provide multi-state to national advertising coverage.
- Mass mailings to several hundred of our regular auction attendees and high end bidders.
- Targeted mailings to our specialized collectors if your item(s) match their interest.
- Electronic mailings to participants on our internet based mailing lists.

Auction Philosophy
We at Bailey's Honor believe strongly in the Auction Method of Marketing.
That a correctly marketed auction will bring the best possible return on the items being sold.
Our reputation is based on providing a fair and honest auction, which is in a large part what we
attribute our success in the industry to. Because of this our policy includes:
- No buy-backs
- No reserves (some exceptions
apply)
- No minimums
We strongly believe that this philosophy creates the best auction environment for both buyer
and seller.

Delivery of Items
You have several options for delivering items for auction. We would recommend at least three weeks
lead time for advertising (digital pictures, newspapers, etc). Options include:
- Delivery to our warehouse prior to the auction
- Pre-Auction (before 9:00 am) to the Richfield Chalet. This option is reserved for established
customers, or by special arrangement.
- Complete pick up and packing services are available by Bailey's Honor for an additional charge.

Exceptions
to our Typical No-Reserve Policy
Occasionally, at the
wish of the consignor we will sell an item with a reserve in place. These
are typically for very high end items. In the event that a consignor has
negotiated a reserve, that reserve shall constitute the opening bid. If
there is no opening bid equal to the reserve, the object will be withdrawn
from sale and the consignor will be liable for one-half the
applicable commission rate on the negotiated reserve amount.
