Bidding in Person:
Firstly you will need to register your details prior to the sale and obtain a bidding number. Raise your number when you wish to bid and wait for the auctioneer to acknowledge you. If anyone else wishes to acquire the lot, they will bid against you by the same means. The auctioneer will continue taking ever-increasing bids from each interested party until all but one person drops out. 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. Please note the buyer pays an additional percentage to the final hammer price. (Buyers Premium)
(Please return your bidding number when you leave the saleroom.)

Absentee or Commission Bids:
If you are not attending the auction in person, you may bid by completing a bidding slip and a member of staff will try to secure the item for you at the lowest possible price, and not exceeding your maximum. Please note the buyer pays an additional percentage to the final hammer price (Buyers Premium). A deposit prior to Auction may be required which is fully refundable if the item isn’t won.

How may I pay for my successful bids?
We accept payment by cash, debit card  (chip & pin) and credit card.                             (credit cards subject to a 3% surcharge). Please note that cheques are not accepted. If you are not paying in full on the evening of sale a substantial deposit must be made.
