Auction Information & Rules
To view the current auctions or place a bid please read through this information and then click the following button to continue..
After clicking the item you are interested in, review the information carefully. Below is an example of the 'Place a Bid' section of the screen which will show the current minimum bid. You may also enter a higher amount into the text box providing it is a multiple of the bid increment.
Each item is given a bid increment (shown above). Your bid must be a multiple of this and higher than the last bid placed.
The'Bid History' shows previous bids, the bidder's name and the time the auction will end.
Click the bid button when you are happy with your bid amount then click OK when prompted by the on-screen alert.
The auction facility is provided for members only. If you are not a member but wish to bid for items on this site then you need to join. You can do so by clicking here.
Each auction will be conducted in the following way:
• An item will be listed on the auction site.
• The auction will run for a fixed period of time. The time left on the auction will be displayed at all times on the auction site.
• If you wish to place a bid you do so by logging on with your membership details.
• You must enter a bid using the minimum increments set out in respect of each auction. The minimum increment will be displayed in respect of each auction. When your bid is submitted or you have been outbid, you will be sent an automatic email confirmation. Please note that bids cannot be retracted.
• The auction will finish when the clock runs down to zero. The person with the highest bid recorded on our system at the time the clock runs down will be the 'winner' of the auction.
• If you have the highest bid when the auction finishes then, subject to the reserve price being beaten, you will be obliged to buy the goods at that value of the last bid placed.
• Each item listed may have a reserve price. If the value of the highest bid recorded does not beat the reserve price, then we are not under any obligation to sell the goods to the person posting the highest recorded bid in the auction. We reserve the right, in those circumstances, to re list the items on the auction site or to sell them elsewhere.
• On winning an auction you will be sent a confirmation email. You must then contact us to make payment.
• The price paid does not include the cost of delivery. When you contact us to make payment we will discuss with you the delivery options and charges. If you wish to collect items from us rather than incur any extra charges then that is fine, as long as it is done within 7 days of payment being received by us for the items.
• Payment or delivery may be varied by agreement with us but that is at our discretion.
• By entering the auction you are bound by the general terms of use of our website.
• Happy bidding!
