Introduction to our auctions

The Auctioneer acts only as an agent of the Seller (unless expressly stated otherwise). Accordingly, the seller is not required to pay until payment is received from the buyer, nor is the auctioneer necessarily able to know the history or assess the quality of the lots being sold on behalf of those principals. In addition, lots sold are likely to be subject to wear and tear caused by use or age and may therefore have defects and imperfections.

Buyers are given ample opportunity at the time of the viewing to see the lots to be sold and are deemed to have done so. They must rely solely on their own skill or judgment to determine whether lots are fit for purpose and whether lots match the description or images.
