AUCTION REMINDER

Japanese Prints from the Twentieth Century - June 5, 2005

Dear friends of Japanese prints from the twentieth century

Bidding for auction # 183 is open on www.artelino.com/auction/catalog.asp and will close coming Thursday, June 9 at 8:00 PM local time = 2:00 PM in New York.

The new auction offers affordable and beautiful Japanese prints all handmade in the 20th century - originals, later printings from the original blocks or copies of famous designs that are no longer available or too expensive or aesthetically unattractive due to aging.

When we introduced the option to accumulate your wins over several auctions and get a free shipment for a total value of at least USD1,000, we had no idea HOW successful it would be. The large Chinese and modern Japanese prints break our back with actual costs of up to USD150 per shipment. We ask for your understanding for two modifications, starting July 1:

1. Free shipments are limited to small and medium sizes. If you have at least one large size (L, M or T2), we charge a flat rate of USD35 for North America and the Middle East, USD25 for Europe, USD20 for Germany and USD45 for Asia, Australia, South America and Africa. 2. We hold your auction wins and purchases for a maximum of not more than 6 months.
