The highe st bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (inc luding a dispute between a floor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalfof a mail bidder, cons ignor or vendor) , the auctioneer alone shall detern1ine who is the successful bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute .

(b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement uch reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such re erve price by bidding on behalf of the consigno r vendor.
