1. Bidding by Phone
  The auction lots are arranged in groups of 25 with each group preceded by the phone numbers that must be used throughout the auction to place bids on lots in that section and the final time for bidding. When phoning bids you should give your name & bidding number. When placing a bid on any lot you may leave a higher “up to” bid that will be executed as cheaply as possible subject to other bidding and reserves.

2. Bidding by Internet
  Bids can be placed 24 hours a day by using the bidding form that is available with the lot description for each item in the catalogue on our web site. Please note that all bids will be acknowledged immediately to confirm receipt - please check that there are no errors. All bids will be entered at the lowest level that meets the reserve (if your bid is below the reserve it will be entered at the amount that you have bid) and, if other bids have been received that are above the reserve, is one bid above the next highest bid on that item. If your bid is higher than this it will be treated as an "up to" bid which we will execute for you when other bids come in. If your bid is exactly the same as another bid received on that item you will be informed in a separate email - the first of the two equal bids being the one that is accepted. Prices do not update automatically but each day during the Auction between 9.0am & 9.0pm the current price of each lot will be updated on our website as bids come in so that you can see how your bids are progressing. Prices shown for each Lot should be correct as to 10 seconds ago. The final results for all lots will be on the site at 11.30am on Monday 2nd April 2012.

3. Bidding times by Phone

4. Bidding times by Internet
  Bids can be placed 24 hours a day.

5. Final Bid
  This is a new feature that we have introduced to offer all the advantages of an internet auction but to allow our customers to bid at the end of the auction, if they wish, in a live situation.  Once you have placed a bid of over £200 on a lot in the auction a form will be available for you to request to be Final Bidder on that lot if you wish to do so. The "Final Bid" option can also be requested over the phone. This will enable you to bid in the "Final Bid" periods that run from 3.30pm - 7.30pm on the final day Sunday April 1st.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT REQUESTED FINAL BID YOU CANNOT BID AFTER 2.0pm ON SUNDAY 1st APRIL.  *****  For full details of "Final Bid" please CLICK HERE

7. Minimum Bids
  At the end of the description for each lot is a minimum bid price for that lot. No bids will accepted that are less than this amount. The minimum bid is not the reserve for that lot & is just a starting price to discourage bids that will have no chance of winning the item.

  9. Condition of Lots
As most of the lots will be unseen by bidders we try to describe the items in the catalogue as accurately as possible. It must be appreciated, however, that most items will have suffered wear & tear commensurate with their age. If you would like further information about any lot please phone or email as early as possible in the auction for more information. Every lot is illustrated on our website. However if you feel that an item on receipt falls short of the catalogue description we will give a full refund. Please note this only applies to items collected or posted by April 14th 2012 at the latest.  

10. Payment
  Items being collected from Dorking before 8th April can be paid for on collection by cash or cheque as can items being collected from Stoneleigh but with payment by cash only. For all other items payment must be received by Tuesday 10th April 2012. Unless we have agreed otherwise prior to the auction all bidders who may have won a lot(s) must contact us by Thursday 5th April 2012. If no contact has been made by a successful buyer by this date, or arrangements made for payment are not followed, then the item will be offered to the underbidder without any more contact with the original buyer. Please do not bid unless you want the item and are prepared to pay for it if you win.

11. Vendors
  We would like to thank the vendors that have entered items in this auction. If you have any items for future auctions please contact us on  01306 502044 or 07758 857776. For 2012 we will be charging our vendors 0% commission on all sales. The only charge will be a Lotting fee of £10 per item. Available to a worldwide audience via the website www.railwayana.net  and colour catalogues being sent out where requested, it’s an unbeatable deal for sellers.
