One important difference between an auction and a retail shop is that all goods are sold as seen. Lots could have faults or missing parts so it is very important that you carefully inspect items you are interested in buying before the sale takes place. There are no guarantees given when buying at auction. The absence of a condition report does not constitute a guarantee.

VAT on hammer price:
Some lots in our sales are sold by VAT registered vendors and we are therefore also required to charge VAT on the hammer price of these particular lots. Please refer to “+VAT” in descriptions in the catalogue and information in the ‘additional fee’ box when bidding.
All VAT is charged at the current rates, as applicable to the fees or lots being sold.
