Guide for Bidders & Conditions of Sale

Bidding: The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients and vendors, but shall not be liable for errors or omissions in executing instructions to bid.

How the Bidding Works: Each lot is sold at one bidding step above the second highest bid. No bidder will pay more than is necessary to secure the lot. This system operates without exception. Submission of bids implies acceptance of these conditions of sale.

Bidding Steps: Bidding proceeds in steps as follows, starting at the second highest bid, or at the reserve price, if no other bids have been received.

In the event of identical bids for the same lot, the first received will have priority. A buy bid, will be interpreted as three times the estimate.

Reserve: There is a reserve of 80% on most printed estimates. In the event of only one bid being received, that bidder will get the lot at the reserve price. Bids below reserve, however, will be considered at our discretion.

Telephone Bids: Are accepted at our office, between Mon-Fri, 10am - 5pm, subject to written confirmation from customers unknown to us.

Limit of Spending: If the total amount to be spent is to be restricted your bids must be listed in order of preference. When maximum has been reached, any other bids will be ignored.

Satisfaction Guarantee: All lots are sold subject to satisfaction on receipt. The successful purchaser may return any lot not conforming to our description, providing, it is a reasonable complaint of incorrect or inadequate description. However, the lot must be returned no later than 7 days following receipt.

Confidentiality: Details of bids already received cannot be revealed before the close of the sale. These are confidential. To avoid any offence that refusal might cause, please do not request such details. It is fair to other bidders.

Prices Realised: Are listed in the next catalogue. We also send a copy of the realisation list to each successful bidder with the lots or pro-forma invoice.

Unsold Lots: Are available at the reserve price, after close of sale for a period of a further 4 weeks. Offer below reserve prices will be considered at our own discretion.
