Conditions Of Sale
  1. The highest bidder for each lot shall be the purchaser thereof, and in the event of any dispute the Auctioneer (where necessary in consultation with the brand) shall have absolute discretion either to settle such dispute or to re-offer the lot.
  2. Goods may be sold ‘provisionally’ to a bidder by the Auctioneer. A provisional bid is binding, pending acceptance by the vendor which the auctioneer will endeavour to obtain in a timely manner. A provisional bid may result in further negotiations on the bid price, conducted by the Auctioneer, on behalf of the bidder and the vendor. A bidder may not retract a provisional bid without prior agreement with the Auctioneer, as negotiations will be ongoing with the vendor. On acceptance of the provisional bid by the vendor the deposit paid by the bidder becomes a part payment and is non-refundable. The deposit paid by a bidder on a provisional bid may be returned or transferred to another Lot if the bid is not accepted by the vendor. Bidding on separate Lots while a prior provisional bid is pending may result in multiple Lots being won. A deposit at the current rate at the time of the auction is required from the bidder for each Lot bid thereon. The Auctioneer reserves the right to transfer a deposit or part payment between Lots or divide a deposit or part payment between Lots as necessary.

Care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of the data on the auction portal but no sale shall be invalidated by reason of any defect or faults in any of the lots by reason of any of the lots being incorrectly described and no compensation shall be paid in respect of any such faults or errors in description.
