Viewing
Thursday 9th January 10am – 4pm
One important difference between an auction and a retail shop is that all goods are sold as seen. Lots could have faults or missing parts so it is very important that you carefully inspect items you are interested in buying before the sale takes place. There are no guarantees given when buying at auction. The absence of a condition report does not constitute a guarantee.
Bidding
This is a timed auction with online bidding only, available through the auction platforms as listed on the auction webpage.
Sale closes: Saturday 11th January
Bids close from: 12 noon (subject to staggered timing and the ten-minute rule)
Prospective buyers will need to register via the relevant platform for online bidding.
Condition Reports
Requests for condition reports may be submitted by email or directly through the online catalogue.
We regret that we are unable to process requests for condition reports received after 1pm on the day preceding the sale.
Buyers’ Premium and Online Fee
A buyers’ premium at 17.5% plus VAT, will be added to the bid price of each lot.
Lots purchased online also attract a platform fee of 5% plus VAT.
Collection
Tuesday 14th January 9am to 5pm.
Any collection times other than the above are by appointment only, directly with the auctioneers.
The auctioneers may charge storage on items not cleared by the final collection time stated above.

Attention is drawn to the Auctioneers Conditions of Sale. In particular, it is emphasised that all accounts must be settled on the day of sale.
