Valuation Days
We conduct special valuation days for coins, banknotes, stamps, medals & militaria, postcards, cigarette-cards,
pre-1960 sports programmes, clocks, watches, documents & old maps, books (pre-1900), gold, silver, works of
art and scientific instruments. No appointment is necessary at such events, and valuations are provided free of
charge. We look forward to meeting all our customers in person. We are always keen to consign goods to
auction, or to make cash purchases.
Many events will be scheduled throughout the year. Up-to-date details of events are on our website
www.lockdales.comValuations are always available at our Ipswich premises (see back of catalogue), call first to make an
appointment. In the case of high value collections we are happy to send one of our representatives to visit you.
We will travel overseas to collect your goods if you have guaranteed that you will consign to our auction, or will
accept a purchase offer agreed prior to travel.
Returns Policy
Please inspect thoroughly all lots purchased upon collection or postal receipt. Returns can only be made within
7 days of receipt, with written explanation of the reasons why. Items can only be returned if significantly mis-
described, or if proven to be inauthentic when sold as genuine. Bulk lots cannot be returned and thus we
strongly advise viewing such lots in person. The nature of what constitutes a bulk lot is determined at
Lockdales’ discretion. Returned lots will only be accepted if returned in the same condition they were received
in. We seek to stress by these terms: that the practices and etiquette of sale by auction are different from those
relevant to sale by private treaty. Items in our auction are not sold “on approval”. Bidders should be certain of
the nature of each lot before bidding. We do not refund postal charges.
*We do not guarantee books, clocks,
watches or cameras.
