Absentee/Commission Bidding

Should a client be interested in a single or multiple lots, and is unable to bid at the auction, we will accept written commission bids, provided they comply with our conditions of sale, . Alternatively, bids may be emailed or telephoned in by 9am on the day of sale. We reserve the right not to accept telephoned in commission bids if they are not confirmed by email or in writing. We do not accept bid sent by Social Media platforms. Bidders unknown to us and not on our client database may be requested to agree payment terms prior to the bid being accepted by the Auctioneer. This may apply especially to overseas buyers who are not on our database. All commission bidders will be expected to give full address and contact details, including mobile telephone and email details, and will be contacted after the end of the sale, should they be successful with their bids on the day. All commission bids should be with us by 9am on the day of sale. Any bids sent in later than that time may not be approved and therefore are not guaranteed to be accepted and acted upon. Any bids that fall outside of our published increments will be rounded down to the nearest amount. Bids 'TO BUY' will not be accepted. Please leave us your maximum bid, and we try and buy for less if we can. Lots will be purchased as cheaply as possible against bidding in the room or by the Auctioneer or any other agent bidding on behalf of another client. In the rare case of two identical commission bids being received on the same lot by us, the earliest received bid will take precedence. If you wish to leave a slight increase on a written bid, should the bid fall on the wrong increment, please indicate you instruction by adding +1. All successful bids will be subject to the published buyers premium being added to the hammer price. All clients who leave commission bids will be bound by and should comply with our terms and conditions of sale, especially regarding payment and clearance of any purchased lots.
