Please find below a guide on how to bid in our auctions:
​

Registrations can be taken prior to, and throughout the three auction days.

​When emailing to register, we will need your name, full postal address and your contact telephone details and we will confirm your registration by return, or fill in our online registration form and return to us.

We will reply by issuing you with a unique 'PB' number (postal bidder) in order that you can trace the status of your bid online through the weekend's regular updates.

Previous customers... Who have already been issued with a 'PB' number may retain and use the same number, when showing an interest to bid on lots.

Bidders... Can either leave a firm bid or a bid 'up to' range on items of interest to them, which can be activated on your behalf throughout the auction period, should circumstances not allow you to personally engage with us during the sale. Every bid is recorded on a timeline for security.

Minimum bids, where shown, does not necessarily mean that it is the vendor's reserve. Therefore you would need to monitor the bids throughout the course of the auction period.

Once it is stated at the top of the catalogue that the final realisation list is now online, please don't assume that the figures shown against all lots at the close of the auction at 8pm are correct, as we need time to reconcile all of your bids. 

Bidding increments. £10 up to £500...     £20 up to £1,000....     

 note... there are no £5 increments in our sales.

Email bids... Accepted any time pre-sale and during the three-day sale period.

Telephone calls can be accepted between 10am-8pm of the first two sale days (Friday and Saturday). Note 6pm on the third day (Sunday).

Thereafter... Only emails accepted on Sunday between 6pm-8pm.  Any emails timed at arriving at our office after 8pm on Sundays will be invalid.

Please wait up to 48 hours after the end of the sale while we reconcile all of your bids before the final realisation list is posted.
​Please be patient and courteous to our staff at all times.
