Please read the following information carefully before bidding.
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.
Viewing location:
W&H Peacock, Online Hub, 26 Newnham Street, Bedford, MK40 3JR

The online catalogue is available further down this page once the sale is uploaded. You can sign up to be notified of this by clicking the ‘Remind me’ button.
Requests for condition reports may be submitted by email or directly through the online catalogue.
We regret that we are unable to process requests for condition reports received after 5pm on the day preceding the sale.
This is a timed auction with online bidding only available through the auction platforms found via the 'Timed Online' button in the 'How to bid' section at the top of the page.
Prospective buyers will need to register via the relevant platform for online bidding.
Hammer price:
This is the bid amount you offered to the auctioneer for any given lot which is accepted at the fall of the hammer.
Buyers’ premium:
A buyers’ premium at 17.5% plus VAT, will be added to the hammer price of each lot.
Online fee:
Lots purchased online also attract a platform fee of 3% plus VAT.
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.
Collection:

Items not collected by this time will be treated as abandoned and disposed of as the auctioneer sees fit. Dismantling, loading and removal is the responsibility of the buyer. All lots are at the buyer’s risk from the fall of the hammer.
