-
We suggest that customers send commission bids directly to Sportingold
rather than to The-Saleroom.com as this saves customers 3% on the buyers
premium.
-
Please bid in whole Pounds , ie not pence, our auctioneer does not
accept amounts in pence and we automatically round bids including pence
down to the nearest pound, eg £32-51p is entered as £32.
-
Can we please suggest that commission bids are sent to us as soon as
possible before the auction as if two or more bids are received for the
same amount for a Lot, the bid received first will receive priority.
-
Please do not send bids both to us at Sportingold and to
The-Saleroom.com. We both issue a paddle number to commission bidders
and if the bids are sent to both of us, two different paddle numbers are
issued and as our auctioneer only sees paddle numbers, not names ,
during the auction it is very likely that the bids will compete against
each other and result in the bidder paying a higher hammer price than
might otherwise be the case.
-
All Lots are protected by a reserve price below which the auctioneer
will not sell the item at the auction, we provide estimates in the
catalogue for each Lot and commission bids substantially below the
estimates are likely to be below the reserve price.
-
With commission bids, we open the bidding at the reserve price and bid
for you until either you obtain the Lot or your maximum bid is exceeded
by the bidding process. We do not bid for you beyond your maximum bid.
-
Please can you include your name and a postal address for invoicing
purposes on your commission bids.
