0845
0500 886 Use
this number to make bids or to check on
prices after the auction – or any time you want to speak to us – from
anywhere
in the UK for the cost of a local rate phone call.
€uro Currency; We are happy to
accept Euro cash payments in our shop. We normally allow the market
rate
rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the time of
writing, the
market rate is 0.8555, so we are allowing 85p per Euro (which is
probably
better than your bank will give you). You can also pay for lots in this
auction
by Euro banknotes (postal customers please confirm before sending). We
also
accept payments in
our shop in
Euros, and we buy the old “legacy” currencies, as well as other coins and
notes.
MATERIAL IS ACCEPTED FOR FUTURE SALES AT ANY TIME
Most
auctions include a few lots which, due to their large size or weight
compared
to value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must therefore
be viewed
at our shop during the previous week, and successful purchasers will be
responsible for their collection from us. The symbol for these is “ Ä”, and very generally speaking,
there's a cut-off
point of about £2 or £3 estimate per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can either
call at the
shop during normal opening hours, or it is sometimes possible to
arrange to
pick up after the auction has finished (though please first speak to
Mr. Murray
to arrange this).
NORMAL BIDDING
STEPS
We
list here our normal bid steps for your information. This may be of
help to bidders
who are unable to
attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit our
normal
pattern would usually be taken
down to the next normal step. (We keep to these increments as much as
possible,
but do sometimes
change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to £20, bids are in £1 steps.
From £20 to £30, bids are in £2 steps.
>From £30 to £50, bids are in £2 or £3 steps
(i.e. £30, £32, £35, £38, £40, £42,
£45, £48, £50).
>From £50 to £100 in £5 steps.
From £100 to £200,
bids are in £10 steps.
>From £200 to £300, bids are in £20 steps.
>From £300 to £500, bids are in £20 or £30,
and
above this in 5% to 10% steps.
Abbreviations; a
list of abbreviations and symbols
used is from time to time included in the auction catalogue. We suggest
that
you keep a copy for future reference.
