Valuation

Our Auctioneers will value your item/s at a price they know will sell at auction.

We do not inflated valuations, you want the item to sell so do we.

At our last auction we sold over 89% of all lots.

Consignment

Once you have agreed to consign your item with us we will fill out a consignment form with you, which is proof of the condition of your item, confirms the auctioneer’s valuation, reserve price if there is one & an estimate price.

Cataloguing

Once your item reaches our salesroom a catalogue description, together with a pre-sale estimate is prepared.

This will include essential information such as size, shape & expected price range, in some cases our valuer may also undertake research & seek the opinions of an acknowledged expert in the field.

As the sale day approaches each item is given a lot number and prepared for auction.

INTERNET BIDDING 

Increasingly auctioneers are offering yet another way to bid, and one which is becoming more popular as buyers come to appreciate its appeal. Therefore all of our auctions will be on line.

Online bidding allows you to follow an auction as it is happening via the internet and bid in real time against those in the room or on the telephone. To participate in this way you need to register your details before the sale just as you would at the saleroom.

Typically, the lot being sold will be shown on screen with the level of bidding displayed alongside. For the internet bidder it is then simply a matter of clicking on the mouse to register a bid.

Most Internet platforms will usually charge a fee for using this service so please check before bidding.
