Sale Description:
Mixed Sale of General Household & Antiques - To Include Jewellery and Some Small Items of Furniture
Online, Absentee & Telephone Bidding Only.
For all sales in February we will be trialling early bidding.
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 be told 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 £3 for early bidding purposes. 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 or to arrange a viewing slot on Saturday.
All payments and collections need to be in no later than Wednesday 1st March. Collection is similar to click and collect so you will need to message us for your preferred 15 minute time window. Collection days are Monday 10.30-4.30, Tuesday 10.30-4.30 & Wednesday 10.30-4.30.
If you require postage please use the 'request shipping' link on the email with your invoice. Packaging will be done 3-4 days after the sale. We aim to have items with you within 1 week. We will send tracking details when on route.
