A Buyer�s Premium of 10% (vat-inclusive) will be
added to all sale prices.
0845
0500
886 Use this number to make
bids or to check on prices after the auction � or any time you
want to speak to us � from anywhere in the UK for the cost of a
local rate phone call.
�uro Currency; We are happy to accept
Euro cash payments in our shop. We normally allow the market
rate rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the
time of writing, the market rate is 0.8884, so we are allowing
88p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give
you). You can also pay for lots in this auction by Euro
banknotes (postal customers please confirm before sending). We
also accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we buy the old �legacy�
currencies, as well as other coins and notes.
A serious note to Buy or Bid Vendors. With immediate effect,
any unsold lots left with us (unless there has been a specific
arrangement made) that are larger in area than A4 and/or
thicker than 5mm will be treated as abandoned. These will be
put into our charity box, or sold to recover our costs, or
disposed of as rubbish.
Full conditions of business are displayed at the
Buy or Bid Sale, and the entering of lots implies acceptance
of the terms.
The above is unfortunately necessary due to that
small minority of people who do not voluntarily follow our
normal system.
The largest number of lots in our Buy or Bid Sale are small
items; commonly stamps on a stockcard, presented for sale on
one of our A4 forms. These small items we are happy to accept
in advance of the auction day, and to hold unsolds for a
reasonable period after the auction.
However, some vendors bring us larger lots in advance. These
are subject to a �1 per lot entry fee (although still the
normal 25p if entered at the venue on the day of sale).
Some vendors leave us with larger unsolds,
expecting us to store them until they make arrangements to
pick them up. We think an entry fee of just 25p per lot is
pretty good value, but it certainly does not cover shifting
and storing larger unsold lots.
MATERIAL IS ACCEPTED FOR FUTURE SALES AT ANY TIME
Most auctions include a
few lots which, due to their large size or weight compared to
value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must
therefore be viewed at our shop during the previous week, and
successful purchasers will be responsible for their collection
from us. The symbol for these is � ��, and very generally
speaking, there's a cut-off point of about �2 or �3 estimate
per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can
either call at the shop during normal opening hours, or it is
sometimes possible to arrange to pick up after the auction has
finished (though please first speak to Mr. Murray to arrange
this).
NORMAL BIDDING STEPS
We list here
our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of help
to bidders who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit
our normal pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as
much as possible, but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to �20, bids are in �1 steps.
From �20 to �30, bids are in �2 steps.

CREDIT
CARDS
We are happy to accept
MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments
by Maestro and Delta. This facility can be used by room
purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by other
local customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by
postal buyers.
In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been
designed to make space for credit card instructions.
If you want your purchases charged in this way, please
complete the appropriate section.
Do not complete
these details unless you want to pay by debit/credit card, and to have the lots posted.
We have negotiated good rates with our bank, and are able to
absorb the bank charges for this service ourselves, and
therefore there is no additional charge for the use of this
facility, as long as postal bidders give us their details in
advance of posting. Only for postal buyers where card
details are given after posting, we will charge 1.9% extra (Visa/MasterCard), plus cost of
posting receipt slip.
VIEWING; please note that lots can normally be viewed in our
shop during the one week prior to the auction. It is
sometimes possible to view auction lots outside the normal times,
but this must be by special arrangement.
