SELLERS CHARGES
Please note no lots are currently being accepted until further notice.
FEES:
15% with a minimum of £1 will be taken from the hammer price when an item is sold.
PAYMENT
Settlement is normally made to a Vendor within 14 days after the sale. Accounts can be settled in Cash, Cheque or Bank Transfer. Cheques are posted to the address you registered with us when you consigned your goods. Bank transfers are completed via the bank account you registered with us when consigning your goods. The Auctioneers act as agents only and as such are in no way liable for any default in payment by the purchaser. The Auctioneers will pay the net proceeds of the sale to the vendor provided that the Auctioneers have been paid by the purchaser. The Auctioneers shall be entitled to withhold or off-set any liability of the vendor to the Auctioneers on any account against the sale proceeds otherwise due to the vendor.
RESERVES
Reserves must be confirmed in writing or email 24 hours prior to the start of the sale. There will be no firm reserves set on any item below £20 unless the auctioneer deems it appropriate. Any lot sold without reserve will be subject to a minimum bid.
Auctioneers discretion will be in place on all reserves unless otherwise stated in writing (email for these purposes will be considered a form of "in writing").
The auctioneers discretion will take the form of a maximum of 1 bid increments below the current suggested reserve or 10% whichever is greater.
INSURANCE OF GOODS
Unless otherwise instructed in writing there will be an additional 1% added to all items to cover insurance on all lots offered. Insurance is charged on the hammer price if it sells or on the reserve price if it doesn't. Insurance will be charged on accounts that are in credit only. This insures each lot against burglary, fire and water damage, theft and accidental breakage. Any claim arising will be processed by the Auctioneers based on their estimation of the figure that the piece would have realised during the sale. The auctioneers’ shall in no way be liable for any goods which the vendor has exempted from the insurance charge.
UNSOLD ITEMS
No charges will be made to the Vendor against unsold lots except the lotting fee of £1.
Lots will be automatically re-offered in the next sale unless collected within the 3 days following the sale.
All unsold lots must be removed or have had arrangements made for storage within 3 consecutive days of the sale. Any item not collected nor with arrangements for storage made after this point will be offered in the next sale with a potential minimum bid, if deemed by the auctioneer to be of low value.
If a reserve was previously in place on the goods it will be offered with a 50% reduction in the reserve price or may be grouped together with any unsold lots at the auctioneers discretion.
If lots remain after being re-offered the charges may well be made against the vendors account for disposal.
By consigning items with us you agree to all these terms and conditions.
ELECTRICAL ITEMS
The vendor on consigning electrical items with us agrees to have the item sold as scrap with no guarantee for it to be in working condition regardless of the condition of the item. Items with plugs will either have them removed or the item will be PAT tested at the vendors expense whichever they decide after consulting with us.
