This is the
electronic/fax/internet
version of our normal paper catalogue. Some changes have been
effected
so as to save file space and transfer/download time. Most
illustrations
and logos for example have been removed. Although it is not in
the easiest
form to read, hopefully it will still bring you the
information you need.
(The
first few lots have been tidied up to nearer their original
style just
to give you a better impression.)
The figure at the end of
each description
is our estimate, in pounds sterling. Bids are accepted above
or below this
figure, although bids below about 75% or 80% estimate only
have a tiny
chance of success.
After the main listings you
will
find various information and instructions. This is followed by
a sample
bid form, and a copy of the the notes
that appear
on the reverse of our bid forms.
This is a public auction,
in which
written/telephone/fax/e-mail bids are also accepted. If you
are bidding
with us for the first time, please bid by two of these methods
with the
same bids (e.g. by post and by fax, or by telephone and
by
e-mail), or bid in good enough time for us to get back in
touch with you
with any queries.
NEW BIDDERS;
Please note that bidders who are
not already
known to us are required to bid in the first
instance by two
different methods. The options available are
email, telephone, fax,
or post.
New customers attending one of
our sales in
person for the first time, and intending to bid, are
invited to make themselves
known before the sale starts. This saves the
auctioneer from having to
ask for a name during the sale. |
