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. You may phone to check the status of your bids up until the final selling time for each block. In the last 30 minutes of each block please keep your call as short as possible. Bids in the final 30 minutes of a bidding block can only be for items in that block.

2. Bidding by internet

Please note that all bids will be acknowledged within 12 hours to confirm receipt. After 5.30 pm on the final bidding nights all bids must be made 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.

8. 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 before December 6th 2008.  

9. Payment
Items being collected from Dorking before 30th November can be paid for on collection as can items being collected from Derby with payment by cash only. For all other items payment must be received by Tuesday 2nd December. Unless we have agreed otherwise prior to the auction all bidders who may have won a lot(s) must contact us by Friday 28th November. 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.
