HOW TO
BUY AT
MOSSGREEN
AUCTIONS
We have compiled the following guide to assist you
with the exciting process that is bidding at auction.
Bidding
Mossgreen Auctions offers all clients four options to bid at our
auctions:
1. AT THE AUCTION
Experience the excitement, theatre and fun of bidding at a
live auction.
To bid in person, make sure you arrive with enough time to
register for a bidding number, and if you haven’t purchased with
Mossgreen before then you will need to bring along some photo
identification such as a driver’s licence or passport.
2. TELEPHONE BIDDING
The perfect solution for when you can’t attend in person.
Mossgreen staff bid individually with you over the telephone,
relaying each bid and what is happening in the room itself and
will bid on your behalf upon your instructions.
Please note that telephone bids must be organised with at least
24 hours notice, and that on occasion telephone bids will be
limited if the auction is offsite. You will be advised if this is the
case in the catalogue and on the website.
To organise a telephone bid please refer to the telephone
bidding page at the back of this catalogue. The “Cover Bid”
section is optional, however useful if you are uncontactable
at the last minute, or the telephone line drops out- you are
authorising Mossgreen to bid to that amount on your behalf.
Mossgreen offers telephone bids on all lots, in all auctions.
3. ABSENTEE BIDS
The ideal solution when you can’t attend in person, action a
telephone bid, or simply have a budget you wish to stick to.
An absentee bid requires your maximum bid to be recorded for
the lot numbers you are interested in bidding on, and should the
LOT DESCRIPTIONS
are the basic catalogue information given such as dimensions,
date or age, medium, attribution, provenance, quantity and so
on. All lots are guaranteed for 30 days from the auction date.
The website gives a clear size guide in relation to the average
sized person, as well as signature and multi-view details for
selected higher priced items.
ESTIMATES
are printed for all lots and can take into account rarity, condition,
quality and provenance. In this catalogue all lots are offered with
a reserve of 75% of the low estimate. No lot will be sold for less
than 75% of the low estimate.
To organise an absentee bid, please refer to the absentee
bidding form at the back of this catalogue, and further details
are available in the Terms and Conditions of Sale section, also
at the back of this catalogue. An email must be supplied at the
time of submitting your absentee bid, along with a clear copy
of your photo identification if you have not purchased with
Mossgreen before.
4. ONLINE BIDDING
Mossgreen Live is an online bidding service created exclusively for
Mossgreen clients. You may register at www.mossgreen.com.au.
Please note there is no commission added to the Buyer’s
Premium for lots purchased via Mossgreen Live.
Alternatively you may bid via LiveAuctioneers.com. Please note
lots purchased via LiveAuctioneers.com are subject to a 3%
commission charge added to the Buyer’s Premium.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDING
If you are an international bidder who has not purchased with
Mossgreen before, you must make sure your identification,
your signed bidding form and a deposit at our discretion has
arrived and is confirmed prior to the auction date. This deposit
is refundable within 48 hours should you not be successful. If
you are successful it will be deducted from your purchase total
and any remaining balance must be paid via direct deposit.
Bank details are provided in the Payment section at the back
of this catalogue.
Payment & Collection
Viewing
Mossgreen’s printed catalogues are available approximately
two weeks prior to an auction sale date. Online catalogues are

lot be knocked down to a lesser amount than recorded under
your number, and you are the highest bidder on the auctioneer’s
book, then the lot will be sold to you for the lesser hammer
price. Please note absentee bids must be received no later than
24 hours prior to the auction commencement time.
TALK TO OUR SPECIALISTS

detail. Their contact details for a particular sale are published in

WILLIAM H. "BILLY" MAY (1953–2009)
was an American-born Australian artistic director, theatre producer and composer. He was best known for creating
“Walking with Dinosaurs - The Live Experience”, an arena show based on the BBC documentary television mini-series,
Walking with Dinosaurs. The production, which debuted in 2007 and featured 15 lifelike dinosaurs designed by May,
has been called "one of the largest and most acclaimed shows to come out of Australia." He had moved to Australia in
1972, ultimately working on more than forty theatre productions here, the United Kingdom and New York. In 1983, May
returned to New York to produce the musical, “Marilyn: An American Fable”. As a result, May, who was just 24 years old
in 1983, became the youngest producer on Broadway at the time. May's other credits included “The Hobbit”; the 2002
theatrical production of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” at The Arts Centre in Melbourne; “Boswell for the
Defence”, which starred actor Leo McKern as James Boswell; and the 1997 musical, “Always”.
Mossgreen is proud to be offering for auction in this catalogue, a number of items from May’s career and from his home.
They have been identified with the words “From the William May Collection” following each description.

1.BackgroundtotheTerms
usedintheseConditions
The conditions that are listed below contain
terms that are used regularly and may need
explanation. They are as follows:
“the Buyer” means the person with the highest
bid accepted by the Auctioneer
“the Lot” means any item depicted within the
sale for auction and in particular the item or
items described against any lot number in the
catalogue.
“the Hammer price” means the amount of
the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in
relation to a lot
“the Buyers Premium” means the charge
payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a
percentage of the hammer price.
“the Reserve” means the lowest amount at
which Mossgreen has agreed with the Seller
that the lot can be sold.
“Forgery” means an item constituting an
imitation originally conceived and executed as
a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive
as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture
or source, where the correct description as to
such matters is not reflected by the description
in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall
be capable of being a forgery by reason of
any damage or restoration work of any kind
(Including re-painting).
“the insured value” means the amount that
Mossgreen in its absolute discretion from time
to time shall consider the value for which a lot
should be covered for insurance (whether or
not insurance is arranged by Mossgreen.)
All values expressed in Mossgreen Pty Ltd
catalogues (in any format) are in Australian

“reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other

Seller provides any guarantee in relation to
the nature of the property apart from the
Limited warranty in the paragraph below.
The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”
B)CATALOGUEANDOTHERDESCRIPTIONS
All statements by Mossgreen in the
catalogue entry for the property or in
the condition report, or made orally or
in writing elsewhere, are statements of
opinion and are not to be relied upon as
statements of fact. Such statements do
not constitute a representation, warranty
or assumption of liability by Mossgreen
of any kind. References in the catalogue
entry to the condition report to damage or
restoration are for guidance only and should
be evaluated by personal inspection by the
bidder or a knowledgeable representative.
The absence of such a reference does not
imply that an item is free from defects
or restoration, nor does a reference to
particular defects imply the absence of
any others. Estimates of the selling price
should not be relied on as a statement that
this is the price at which the item will sell
or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither
Mossgreen nor The Seller is responsible for
any errors or omissions in the catalogue or
any supplemental material.
Images are measured height by width (sight

paid for in full before it will be released to
the purchaser or his/her agreed expertising
committee or specialist. Payments received
for such items will be held “in trust” for
up to 90 days or earlier, if the issue of
authenticity has been resolved more
quickly. Extensions must be requested
before the auction.
Foreign buyers should note that all
transactions are in Australian dollars so
there may be a small exchange rate risk.
