Catalogues
These are available for a small charge from our Towcester Salerooms. They contain the details of all entered lots, including descriptions, dimensions (where applicable) estimates (what price range prospective purchasers should expect to be paying) and respective lot numbers complete with further information for buyers.
Buyers Numbers
Buyers numbers are available on sale days. In order to obtain your number, simply fill in a registration form. You will be given a buyers number which is your personal number for future use. There is no fee for registration.
First Time Buyers
Once you have obtained your buyers number, you can bid on any lot in the sale, so long as you have the funds to pay. If you have never bid at an auction before, it may be advisable to watch the auctioneer for a few lots before your lot comes up so you understand how the bidding progresses. Do not be afraid to be bold in your bidding early on so the Auctioneer can establish your interest. Please make your bid clear to the Auctioneers. If you think the Auctioneer may not have seen your bid, then call for his attention. If he misses your bid, then you miss your lot. If you are successful, show your bidding number clearly to the Auctioneer or his clerk. The speed of each auction varies but run at around 140-180 lots per hour. |
