  Auctioning the lots

  Generally we will cover approximately 140 - 180 lots per hour.  The speed of the auction will vary between auctioneers.  Bidding stops after the hammer has fallen and the auctioneer’s decision is final.
  
  

  Buyer's Premium is 17.5% (plus VAT).  This is a commission that is paid in addition to the hammer price.
  
  

  Printed Catalogue and Condition Reports
  
  All lots carry a catalogue description.  Estimates suggest the price that the lot may reach.  Vendor's (or Seller's) reserves may be set, they are confidential.  Estimates do not carry buyer's premium.  Lots may carry abbreviations such as a/f (as found - considerable damage).  We may note damage and restoration however the absence of such a note does not imply that the lot is without defect.  All clients should satisfy themselves of both condition and descriptions prior to payment.  Any measurements and weights may be approximate. 

  Any changes to the catalogue after production will be displayed in the Saleroom in a Saleroom notice and will be announced prior to the lot being sold. 

  Requests for condition reports are accepted by telephone or e-mail and must be received at the latest 24 hours before the sale otherwise we cannot guarantee we will be able to respond in time.  All lots are illustrated on-line at www.boldonauctions.co.uk.
