1. Bidding by Phone
The auction lots are arranged in groups of 5 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. You may phone to check the status of your bids up until the final selling time for each block. In the last 15 minutes of each block please keep your call as short as possible. Bids in the final 15 minutes of a bidding block can only be for items in that block.

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 within 12 hours to confirm receipt. During the last 15 minutes of each block bids may only be placed by phone. Each day during the bidding period the current price of each lot will be regularly updated on our website so that you can see how your bids are progressing. The final results will be on the site by 10.30am on Monday 2nd June 2008.

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 on or before 14th June 2008.  

10. Payment
Items being collected from Dorking before 8th June can be paid for on collection  by cash or cheque. For all other items payment must be received by Saturday 7th June - at this time we are unable to accept Debit or Credit Cards and so payment must be by cash or cheque. 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 07973 409235.

We are happy to take Paper and Hardware items as well as advertising signs, models and any other transport related items that would be of interest to our customers. If you wish we can sell your items from your address with bidders being given the town for collection or the option (if appropriate) for postage at their expense. If you get the items to us we will handle all aspects of the sale for just the commission price. In order to produce a balanced auction it may not be possible to accept a collection of low value common items for our auctions.
