Online Timed Auctions
We do not charge a commission to the buyer, what you bid is what you pay.
The only additional charge will be postage at cost.
Timed Online Auctions are purely online auctions - there is no auctioneer. With twenty lots listed per page, and page numbering on the top and bottom of each page to help navigate the pages.
Bidding on Line
When the Bid button is clicked a form appears see below with the option to add Lot Number, your Name and your Maximum bid.
To record the transaction on our database please press submit.
Each lot will indicate the current bid, or its reserve price. Please note bids are only updated once a day. Only the highest bid will be recorded. If no bid has been received this will indicate "No Bid"
At the end of the sale, the highest bid received will be the successful bidder, in the advent of duplicate bids the earlier received bid will be successful.
The Auctioneer will endeavour to obtain the lot at the lowest possible price on your behalf.
The estimate is a guide only.
Bidding Confirmation
All bidders will receive an email to confirm the bids that we have received.
Bidding period
Each lot can be bid on ‘online’ over a defined period of time (typically 1-2 weeks). At the end of the period, the bidder who has submitted the highest bid wins the lot.
Our timed auctions have an end-time displayed on each page. You can bid at any point from when the auction opens to when it closes. On the final day, lots close sequentially at regular intervals (normally 20 seconds). Last minute bids can be placed, but please remember to reload your page to indicate current bid. Just before the bid is about to close a "fair Warning" is displayed.
Successful Bidding
An invoice will be issued at the end of the sale.
To include Postage & Packing, unless arrangements have been made for collection. No commission will be charged.
