Buying and Selling
How to Buy
Bid in the Saleroom
To bid in the saleroom you need to register your details in advance of the auction and you may need to provide some ID, this can be done at the front desk where we will then give you a paddle number to bid with. When you wish to bid on a lot, simply raise your paddle and catch the auctioneer’s attention.
To speed up the registration process you may also complete the registration form here and email it to us. Please note that we may still require a form of ID on the day of the sale before we are able to provide you with a paddle number.
We charge a £1 registration fee at each auction. This fee provides you with a printed copy of the catalogue for the sale, and also a copy of your paddle number to enable you to bid at the auction.
Leave a Commission Bid
You can leave us a commission bid in advance of the auction over the phone, via email or fill out a form in person. Simply state the maximum price you would like to pay for a lot and we will purchase it for you for the lowest possible price whilst taking the reserve price and other bids into account.
Again you will need to have registered as a buyer with us prior to being able to leave a commission bid.
Buyers Commission
Each lot is subject to commission on the hammer price of 12%.
For example:
Hammer price - £100
Commission – 12% of £100 = £12
Total price - £112
Payment and Collection
We accept payment by cash, bank transfer and credit and debit cards.
Items may not be collected until payment of the full amount due is made. Any lots you have purchased must be paid for and collected no later than two days following the day of the auction.
How to Sell
Prior to selling with us for the first time you will need to register with us and provide photographic ID, a copy of which will be retained on file. This can be done at the front desk. To speed up the registration process you may also complete the registration form here and email it to us. Please note that we will still require a form of photo ID in person before we are able to accept any items for sale from you.
You may bring in any items you wish to sell between 9am and 5pm on Monday, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We will sometimes be able to accept items on a Thursday by prior arrangement. We will discuss the items with you and decide upon the most appropriate sale for the items to be entered into. A receipt will be given to you listing the items that will be entered into the sale and stating any reserves which we have agreed upon.
Vendors Commission
Each lot is subject to commission on the hammer price of 12%.
​
For example your lot sells for £100:
Hammer price - £100
Commission – 12% of £100 = £12
Total charge of £12, you will receive payment of £88.
If your item is unsold there is no charge unless under special circumstances.
Payment
You will receive a seller's statement following the sale detailing the outcome of the auction for each of your entered lots. This will detail the hammer price achieved, show the vendors commission, and also give a total amount of what is left to be paid out to you.
We aim to pay any monies due to sellers within 10 days of the day of the auction, subject to receiving cleared funds from the relevant buyer(s).
Collection of Unsold Goods
Any lots you have entered into the sale but have not sold, must be collected no later than two days following the day of the auction. Failure to collect your unsold lots will result in a storage fee being charged at a rate of £5 per lot per day.
