All under-$5000 lots sell this evening; those that reach the $5000 threshold are sold tomorrow during our final phone bidding session, open only to those lots' top four bidders. (Please see our How to Bid page if you are unfamiliar with how our auctions work.)
All successful bidders or top four phone bidders will receive emails after the bidding has completed this evening. Winning bidders receive invoices first thing Monday morning with totals that by default include shipping; you can, of course, also pick your items up, weekdays 9-4.
Finally, don't forget that we will be drawing the winner of our 20th Anniversary Commemorative Stoneware Jar at the conclusion of tomorrow's phone session. We will notify the winner via email.
