In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of State Liquidators will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor.

The purchaser agrees to pay State Liquidators a handling charge of $25.00 for any check dishonored by the drawee. Please contact Accounting for additional payment methods. 6.
