Conditions of Sale

The Buyer will be the highest bidder known to the Auctioneer at the fall of the hammer. Any dispute will be settled by the Auctioneer, whose decision will be final.

Purchasers will be charged a total premium of 25.00% on the hammer price inclusive of VAT and credit card charges. This will include a 3% online charge (this will be shown separately on your invoice). There is no VAT charged on lot prices.
If payment is to be made by cheque and the cheque exceeds the cheque card guarantee limit, then goods can only be collected on the day of the sale if the buyer is known to us, or if prior arrangements have been made. We reserve the right to hold goods until a cheque is cleared. Lots can be paid for by credit card or debit card. Most major brands are accepted

Commission bids will be executed at no extra charge and we guarantee to purchase lots as cheaply as possible, allowing for other bids. Successful commission bidders will be notified by post immediately after the sale.
Full payment must then be sent to the Auctioneers by return of post.

Persons are reminded to handle all items with care. Any loss or damage will be payable at a cost to be decided by the Auctioneer, whose decision will be final. Please be careful.

We have endeavoured to describe items as accurately and as fairly as possible.
The terms we have used to define condition are detailed in the Condition Classification. The classification relates to the appearance of an item. No warranty can be given to the mechanical or electrical operation of any item. It must be understood that any description or assessment of an item or its condition must be regarded as opinion only, and cannot form part of any legal contract.

Where we have identified particular faults or damage to items it must be understood that reference to such faults does not imply the absence of others, nor does the lack of such a reference imply that an item is free of faults. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the suitability of lots before buying. Only in the event that an item should be found to be a deliberate forgery, could a transaction be rescinded. Once this is proven to the Auctioneers, then all money paid will be refunded, provided the item is returned within 7 days of the sale in the condition it was sold.

Late Withdrawals
(a) Lots withdrawn once an item has been catalogued will incur a charge of 15% of the mid point between top and bottom estimate or the reserve, which ever is greater.
(b) Lots withdrawn after the catalogue has been printed and distributed will incur a charge of 25% of the mid point between top and bottom estimate or the reserve, which ever is greater.
