Buying


 

Our commission is set at 20% of the hammer price plus VAT. 

Our auction is fully online; customers can bid through several bidding platforms - our website, easyliveauctions.com or with the-saleroom.com. This allows you to experience the auction environment from the comfort of your own home. Alternatively, you can leave a commission or phone bid with us directly. 

Each platform will have our full catalogue along with images available to view in the lead-up to an auction.

To bid online, you must register and create an account either through our website or with one of the above platforms. An additional 3% fee will be added to your invoice when bidding through our website.

Once your registration is complete, you can enjoy bidding from any electrical device that has internet access.

Condition of Lots

Bidders are strongly advised to request and obtain a condition report on any item prior to bidding as descriptions do not necessarily list all faults.  

 

Commission Bidding

You can leave a commission bid with the office by email or over the phone before the auction commences. The auctioneer will then bid on your behalf from the rostrum, attempting to win the lot for you as cheaply as possible. It is important to remember that your maximum bid does not include our buyer's premium, which is added to the final hammer price.

 

Telephone Bidding

We are happy to bid for you live on the phone. You will need to arrange this with us ahead of the sale. Once a telephone bid has been organised, a member of staff will contact you several lots before a lot of interest is offered and bid on your behalf.

If you would like to request a phone bid, please contact the office providing your full contact details and your intended method of payment. Our contact number is 01665 604379. 

 

Making A Payment

There are a few options for payment. If you would like to call us, we can take payment over the phone - this is limited to £300. Alternatively, you can make a payment using our online payment link which is attached to the invoices sent by email. The payment link has a limit of £300; any payment exceeding £300 must be paid by bank transfer. If you are collecting in person, you can pay with cash or by card - there is no card limit for in-person transactions.

Payment must be made within 10 days of purchase unless prior arrangements have been made with the office staff. Payment may be taken from bank cards held on file if the balance is overdue.
