WHYTES

SINCE 1783

,

BUYERS’ COMMISSION

25% (including 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: You may watch and/or bid

live with video and audio link to the saleroom on our

website

www.whytes.ie

There is no extra charge for

internet bidding.

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

2,000 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.

PRICES REALISED

A complete list of prices realised and unsold lots will be

posted to our Internet website

(www.whytes.ie

) on the

day after the sale.
