2. Bidding Process
(a) From Friday 14th November 2014 until Saturday 22nd November 2014 you will be able to bid online on lots in the sale, once you have registered. During this preliminary part of the auction you can place bids online up until 5pm (GMT) on the 22nd November 2014. The next day on 23rd November at 3pm (GMT), the auction will switch to a live event where live bidding with an auctioneer will be taken up from the closing prices realised during the online-only part of the auction. During live bidding bids will be accepted by bidders in the room, along with telephone bids and bids placed online.
(b) Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in increments of up to 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion. The increments are as follows:
? £50 to £1,000 – bids of £50s
? £1,000 to £2,000 – bids of £100s
? £2,000 to £3,000 – bids of £200s
? £3,000 to £5,000 – bids of £200/£500/£800 (i.e. £3,200, £3,500, £3,800 etc.)

(c) Lots will be auctioned one by one until the final lot is reached.
(d) Our auctioneer will take all bidding in the room, from telephone bids, absentee bids and online bids. In order to bid in the room you must raise your paddle for the auctioneer. Please ensure you raise your paddle clearly to prevent the auctioneer missing your bid.
(e) A currency converter may be in operation during the auction. TracksAuction does not accept liability to bidders who follow the currency converter rather than the live bidding in the room.
(f) The auctioneer has the right to exercise reasonable discretion in refusing or accepting bids, advancing the bidding in such a manner as he/she may decide, withdrawing any lot, and, in the case of error or dispute, whether during or after the auction, determining the successful bidder, continuing the bidding, cancelling the sale, or reoffering or reselling the item in dispute. If any dispute arises following the auction, the sale record maintained by the auctioneer will be conclusive.
(g) Subject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of the auctioneer’s gavel will mark the conclusion of a contract between buyer and seller.

It is your responsibility as the bidder to check the results of the auction. We will issue invoices to all successful bidders once the auction has closed.
(b) No payments will be taken, and no invoices will be issued at the live event. Similarly, lots will not be available for collection by successful bidders at the live event. If you are the highest bidder on a lot in the auction please wait until you are contacted by TracksAuction to process your transaction.
