WHYTE'S THE ECLECTIC COLLECTOR 15/16 MAY 2021

4 4 WHYTES S I N C E 1 7 8 3 , WHAT IS A TIMED AUCTION? Timed auctions don’t have an auctioneer calling the bids – there’s just a bidding time frame and whoever bids highest during the time frame wins. Each lot can be bid on for a defined time period. At the end of this period, the bidder who has submitted the highest bid wins the lot, provided the bid exceeds the reserve price. You tell us the most you’re willing to pay – and we’ll bid intelligently for you, only bidding enough for you to meet the reserve or stay in the lead. Don’t worry, your maximum bid is not disclosed, and is held in confidence on our bidding system. When online bidding starts – from 10am on 1 May to 6pm on 15 (Lots 1 to 356) or 1 May to 16 May (Lots 357to 655) - you can leave bids and your bid will start at one step above the previous bid or at the start price if no other bid. You will be notified by email if you get outbid before the auction starts. Once the auction starts on May 15 (Session 1) or May 16 (Session 2) email notifications cease and you should follow the auction on-line to see how your bids are doing. Make sure you have logged in if you wish to bid. When the auction starts to finish (lots 1-365 at 12 noon on Saturday 15 May; lots 357 to 655) at 12 noon on Sunday 16 May) the bidding for each lot remains open for 1 minute (60 seconds) at a start price determined by the reserve or bids already received. Each lot will be open and remain open for bidding until its end time is reached; the end time will be extended by 1 minute (60 seconds) if another bid is received. At the end time, if there are no further bids and the highest bid received equals or exceeds the reserve price the lot is sold to highest bidder. HOW TO BID: • Log in or register at www.bid.whytes.ie • Visit the timed online auction catalogue • Find the lot number you are interested in. • The current highest bid will be displayed • The minimum bid required to beat the highest bid will also be shown. • You can place your bid. The screen will show the new highest bid and will indicate if that bid is yours. Note: if a previous bidder has left a bid that equals yours the previous bidder will win the lot unless you outbid them. If the screen doesn’t confirm that your bid is winning you will need to bid again if you wish to buy the lot. Don’t worry -the system will not allow you to bid against yourself. • The timed lots will close at the specified date and time and will close in chronological order with 1 minute (60 seconds) between each lot before it closes. • Invoices will be issued to successful bidders on Monday 17 May. • Buyers Premium of 20% plus VAT (24.6% in total) will be added to your winning bid amount. Your invoice will detail all the payment, collection and shipping particulars. Go here to bid : www.bid.whytes.ie HELP?
