Bidding Instructions

Bidding by Phone

You may start to place bids from 10.0am Monday 20th November 2006.

When phoning you should give us your name and postcode.  You can place bids on your chosen lots and you may also place a higher “up to” bid and, if you are successful, we will ensure that you get the item as cheaply as possible.  You may check the status of your bids up until the final selling times. 

Postal Bids

Please use the form provided on the site and get it back to us as soon as possible to ensure that your bids are registered.

Selling Nights

No new bidders in the last 15 minutes and during this time, callers must ring the correct number for a particular lot, as shown in the catalogue.  One call only in last 15 minutes and should be as brief as possible during these times. The time given in the catalogue at the end of each group of 25 lots is the final time that bids will be accepted for that group.

Checking the Success of your Bids

You should phone between 1.0pm and 9.0pm on Friday 1st December to see whether your bids have been successful, and if they have, to arrange payment and to choose how you would like the items to be delivered to you.  Items may be sent by ordinary post, recorded delivery, special delivery, delivered to certain railway auction/events, and in certain cases, delivered personally.  There will be a modest charge, to cover costs, and which will vary between different categories of goods.

Condition of Lots

As most lots will be unseen by bidders, we do try to describe the items in the catalogue as accurately as possible.  If you would like further information about any items, please phone as early as possible during the course of the auction.  We will have more time to describe particular lots in the week preceding the auction.  However, if you feel that any lot which you have bought falls short of the catalogue description, we will guarantee a full refund.
