Buying Process
If you intend buying any items at the auction sale you MUST register your name, address and telephone number with us on the day of the sale. You will be given a number on a card which you must keep as you will be able to reuse it for future sales.
When your selected items come for sale make sure your bids are seen by the auctioneer. If you are successful hold your card up and the auctioneer will note your number.
When you have finished bidding you must pay for your goods on the day of the sale before you collect your items. You may pay either by cash, cheque with a bank guarantee card, debit card or credit card. [Payment by credit card will be subject to a surcharge].
All purchased goods must be removed by 6pm on the day of the sale.
We offer an absentee bidding service to regular and known clients.
