BUYERS’ COMMISSION

20% (excluding VAT) is added to the hammer price of all lots. No

extra fee is charged for on-line bidding.

ROOM BIDDERS

1. Room bidders must register and obtain a bidding number on

arrival. Proof of identity is required from clients new to us.

2. If successful in obtaining a lot please ensure you display your

number clearly to the auctioneer and that it is your number that

is called out. If there is any doubt about the hammer price or

buyer, please draw this to the attention of the auctioneer

immediately.

3. Payment may be made by cash, bank draft, cleared cheque,

debit or credit card —we accept Mastercard or Visa (a charge of

2% is made on credit card transactions). There is no charge on

debit card transactions..

ABSENTEE BIDDING

1. If you are unable to attend you may bid before the sale, using

the form provided. Enter the maximum you are prepared to offer

for each lot and the auctioneer will represent you as if you are

personally attending the sale. Lots are knocked down at one

step above the next highest bid, and not necessarily at your

highest bid. Example: your bid is €1,000 and next highest bid is

€800 – the hammer price is €850.

2. LIMIT BIDDING: Absentee bidders may limit their total purchases

to a set amount by entering their limit on the bidding form. This

is especially useful for bidders wishing to cover as many lots as

possible while setting a maximum amount to spend.

3. “OR” BIDDING: Absentee bidders who wish to bid on two or

more lots, but only wish to purchase one, may do so by entering

“OR” between the bids – the lots will be bid on in catalogue

order.

4. EQUAL BIDS: In the event of equal bids being received for the

same lot the first received will be given preference. If the

instruction “break ties” is entered on the bid form the auctioneer

will increase the bid by one step in the event of equal bids being

received or in the event of a tie with a room bidder.

5. “BUY” BIDS: Unless otherwise instructed bids of “Buy” or “Buy at

Best” shall be taken to indicate bids of up to three times the

stated higher estimate in the catalogue.

6. LIVE INTERNET BIDDING AT NO EXTRA CHARGE: You may watch

and/or bid live with video and audio link to the saleroom on our

website

www.whytes.ie

at no extra charge.

7. LIVE TELEPHONE BIDDING may be arranged on request, subject

to availability and

given at least 24 hours notice

. This facility is only

available on lots estimated at €1,000 or more, and a minimum

bid may be requested.

8. INVOICING AND PAYMENT: Successful absentee bidders will be

sent a

pro forma

invoice immediately after the sale with details

of payment methods. All invoices must be paid within 7 days of

the date of the sale or the lot(s) may be deemed in default and

any subsequent losses incurred on resale become the

responsibility of the bidder.

The Auctioneers and House Agents

Act, under which we are licensed to hold public auctions, only

allows for lots to be handed over to purchasers when paid for in full.
