ALL SALES FROM NOW ON WILL HAVE EARLY BIDDING AVAILABLE!!

As soon as the auction is live you will actually see what the early bidding is up to, prior to the lot being open on sale day. When you place an autobid, you will see if the reserve has been met or not. This means that you can decide to bid more if you would like to.
All lots will start at £5 for early bidding purposes but some items will have reserve prices higher. If the reserve hasn't been met when the lot is opened on sale day, we will start the bidding on the reserve.
Please message in advance of the sale for condition reports
We now require payment of items immediately, by card (using the link on the invoice), bank transfer or by paypal unless collecting in person and paying cash. This is due to being let down on a number of occasions. If you aren't able to pay on receipt of your invoice, please message us in advance to discuss options. If not paid for within 72 hours of the sale ending, and you haven't contacted us, you will receive an automatic ban from future sales. This will also have a knock on effect for bidding at other sale rooms too.
