TO BID
Anyone wishing
to bid must first register and obtain a Paddle Number by leaving a £30
cash refundable deposit. We only accept bids from Paddle holders.
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.
