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
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 (
