General
Before the Auction we will try to purchase the lot(s) of your choice for the lowest price possible (dependent on the reserve price and other bids) and never for more than the maximum bid amount that you have indicated. Where appropriate, your bids will be rounded down to the nearest amount consistent with the auctioneers bidding increments.
Please place your bids as early as possible, as in the event of identical commission bids the earliest received will take precedence. Bids should be submitted at least twenty-four hours before the auction.
If bidding by telephone, we suggest that you leave a maximum bid which we can execute on your behalf in the event that we are unable to reach you. On request and with sufficient notice, we may be able to have multi-lingual staff available to execute bids for you.
Please refer to Condition 5 of the Conditions of Business printed in the sale catalogue.
After the Auction Successful bidders will receive an invoice detailing their purchases and giving instructions for payment and clearance of goods.
Completing This Form
This form should be used for one auction only. The sale date is shown on the top right of this form.
Please record accurately the lot numbers, descriptions and the maximum hammer price you are willing to pay for each lot. Instructions to "BUY" on unlimited bids will not be accepted.
Bids must be numbered in the same order as the lots appear in the catalogue.
Alternate bids for items can be made by placing the word 'OR' between lot numbers.
This means if your bid on an early lot is successful, we will not continue to bid on subsequent lots for you or if your early bids are unsuccessful, we will continue to execute bids for the remaining lots listed on your commission bidding form.
