Coming to the auction to bid for boxes and mixed lots ??  A little advice; don’t set your heart on just
one lot. It’s not unusual for a mixed lot here and there to end up selling for a great deal more than the
estimate. If this is the one you were wanting, and you are well beaten, it’s always good to have at least
one or two fallback options.
A Buyer’s Premium of 10% (vat-inclusive) will be added to all sale prices.
