HOW DO I BID AT THE AUCTION ?

Firstly, be very clear on the Lot numbers upon which you wish to bid. The Auctioneer states the Lot number and a brief description prior to it being sold.
When you hear the Lot number in which you are interested, make known your interest to the Auctioneer by raising your paddle. If the Auctioneer does not happen to spot you
- call out - 'here'. When you successfully buy a Lot, the Auctioneer will say 'sold', and state the hammer price and bring the hammer down.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WISH TO BID BUT CANNOT ATTEND THE AUCTION ?

We have a member of staff who can bid on your behalf. There is a pre-bid form which you complete with the maximum amount you are prepared to spend on each Lot. It is your responsibility to ascertain whether you have been successful and to pay for and collect lots purchased by 5.00pm Tuesday following the sale.

CAN I BRING CHILDREN TO THE AUCTION ROOMS ?

Children under the control of a responsible adult are allowed during viewing but must leave the building before the auction starts.
