How Can I Bid

---

 Prior to the auction you need to register with us at the auction house to obtain your ‘Buyers Number’. You must provide us with your full name, address, contact telephone number and preferably also your email address. When the auction starts you may raise your number when you wish to bid on an item and wait for the auctioneer to acknowledge your bid. You will then compete with other buyers in the auction room and online all bidding for the same Lot. The auctioneer will continue taking bids until the highest bidder remains. The final bidder is the successful buyer, and the auctioneer indicates that the Lot is sold by knocking down his gavel on the rostrum and declaring the hammer price. 

 The current buyer’s premium is 22%  When making your bid you are accepting liability to pay the hammer price, inclusive of the buyer’s premium 

 If for any reason you are unable to attend the auction and wish to bid live over the telephone you may arrange a telephone bid. One of our members of staff will contact you on the phone number you provide a few Lots ahead of the Lot that you wish to bid on. Telephone bids can be made for Lots abovef £100 When booking a telephone bid you are  committing to paying at least the lower estimate on the lot. To book your telephone bid please call the office on 023 80692280  to register.  Our staff make every effort to contact you over the telephone as detailed above, but we do not accept any liability for any failure outside our reasonable control.
