During the live auction the bidding will start at the current bid reached during the 'Pre-Bidding' and continues until your maximum bid is reached. All bids are anonymous, and your maximum bids are confidential. If you have been outbid, during the ‘Pre-Bidding’ then you will receive an email notifying you that you are no longer the leading bidder, however once the sale is live you will not receive any further notifications. When using the Pre-Bidding system there is a possibility that your bid may be 'wrong-footed' and you may lose the lot at your maximum bid. If you do not want to risk this potential scenario then we recommend either bidding live, or leaving an absentee bid with the auctioneer to bid on your behalf. All lots must be paid for and cleared within seven days after the sale. Goods will not be released until full payment is received and cleared. Gardiner Houlgate
