Bidders Terms
ESTIMATED VALUES:
The estimated values shown after each lot are the auctioneer’s opinion of what each lot may realise.
The price realised may be in excess of this figure, it may also be less than.
POSTAL BIDDING:
You may bid by mail before the sale. Please use the form provided. Enter the maximum you are
prepared to offer for each lot and the auctioneer will represent you. Lots are knocked down at one step above the next
highest bid, and not necessarily your highest bid. For example: Your highest bid is £110 and the next highest bid is £80: the
hammer price is £85. It is the responsibility of the bidder to check details of bids placed. All bids will be held valid even if
placed in error. The auctioneer will not be responsible for mistakes by the purchaser.
Lots purchased on behalf of postal bidders will be forwarded by the most practical method at the risk of the purchaser.
Postage, packing, freight and insurance costs or part thereof shall be borne by the purchaser.
Each lot is sold as genuine unless otherwise described in the sale catalogue.
Any lot listed under collections and various or stated to comprise or contain a collection that is under-described shall be put
up for sale not subject to rejection and shall be taken by the purchaser with all (if any) faults. Lots offered “as is” or “offered
on their merits” may contain items that are not genuine and therefore may not be returned for any reason.
E-MAIL & INTERNET BIDS:
Bids by E-mail, or via our internet bidding form at
will be accepted up
to 2.30pm prior to the date of sale. Any bids received after that time will not be valid unless Lockdales have specifically
acknowledged the bids by returning confirmation prior to the commencement of the sale. Any bid made by electronic means
should be acknowledged by 3.00pm on the day prior to the sale – if confirmation has not been received please telephone to
confirm bids, between 3.00pm and 4.30pm. In all other respects the receipt of electronic bids will be dealt with in the same
manner as postal bids, as detailed in the section dealing with postal bidding above.
TELEPHONE BIDS:
Telephone bids may be made. We do not accept any responsibility for errors made in taking bids,
especially by telephone, though every effort is made to ensure accuracy.
INVOICE & PAYMENT:
Successful postal bidders will be sent a Pro Forma invoice immediately after the sale with details
of payment methods. All invoices must be paid within seven days of the sale or the lot(s) may be deemed in default and any
subsequent loss incurred on resale becomes the responsibility of the bidder.
ROOM BIDDERS:
Room bidders must register and obtain a bidding number on arrival. If successful in obtaining a lot,
please ensure that you display your bidding number clearly to the auctioneer and that it is your number that is called out. If
you have any doubt about the price or buyer: please draw this to the auctioneer’s attention immediately. Room bidders may
settle their invoices on the day of sale, or within seven days at our offices. You may pay for and collect your purchases at any
time during the sale.
A Buyers Premium of 17.25% will apply to all lots.
AUCTIONEER:
The bidding advances shall be regulated by the auctioneer and shall be at his discretion. He has the right to
refuse any bids.
The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients and vendors, but shall not be liable for errors or
omissions in executing instructions to bid. The auctioneer acts as agent only, and shall not be liable for any default of the
purchaser or vendor.
