Selling at Auction
Items are accepted until 3 weeks before the auction date
Valuations
If you are considering selling something at our Auction we are happy to provide a verbal valuation free of charge.
For smaller items, it is preferable for you to call into our office with the item. For larger items (such as furniture or for large quantities of items) please email photographs to us (contact the office for details), post them to us or, in some circumstances, the Auctioneer can arrange to visit you at home.
If you wish the items to be valued before leaving them with us for sale, please contact the office to check the Auctioneer will be available when you bring them in.
Terms and Conditions
When you enter an item for Auction you will be given a receipt and a copy of our Seller’s Terms and Conditions of Sale. These are contractual terms and are legally binding.
The Seller’s Terms and Conditions of Sale set out our charges for selling items (our commission) together with details of our charges for insuring your items whilst in our possession and photograph fees for advertising purposes.
Times
Items can be entered into an Auction up to three weeks before the date the Auction takes place.
Approximately one week before the Auction we will send you or email to you a Pre-Sale Advice Form. This form gives you details of the lots and lot numbers of your items.
Reserves
If you wish to place a reserve on any item (and have not already advised the Auctioneer of this) then you must enter your reserves on the form and return it to us before the date of the Auction.
Attendance at Auction
It is not necessary for you to attend the Auction although people often enjoy coming along to see their lots being sold. The catalogue will give details of the time we start selling each category in the sale and you can use this as a guide if you do wish to come along.
Auction Results
If you wish to find out whether your items have sold and the prices achieved, we suggest that you telephone our office on the Monday or Tuesday after the Auction. Please ensure that you have a list of your lot numbers available.
Settlement of Accounts
We are usually in a position to settle your account two to three weeks after the Auction has taken place. In addition to sending our cheque we will also provide a statement showing the price achieved for each lot together with details of our charges.
Unsold Items
If you have an item which does not sell, other than in exceptional circumstances, we will ask you to collect that item from our offices within ten days of the date of the Auction (see Seller’s Terms and Conditions of Sale.
