BUYERS’COMMISSION
20% (excluding VAT) is added to the hammer price of all lots. An
additional fee of 3% (excluding VAT) is charged to on-line
bidders.
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
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.
