may retain as collateral security for such purchaser's obligations to us,
any property or money of or owing to such purchaser in our possession. We
shall have all of the rights accorded a secured party under the New York
Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such property and we may apply
against such obligations all monies held or received by us for the account
of, or due from us, to such purchaser. At our option, payment will not be
deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented
by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier's checks, we have confirmed
their authenticity. In the event the purchaser fails to pay any or all of
the total purchaser price for any lot and Antist Auction nonetheless elects
to pay the consignor any portion of the sale proceeds, the purchaser
