Where can I find what items are in the auction?
There are a number of ways to see what is for sale.
Your goods can be valued differently according to what and how much you have to sell. Our expert valuers can come out to see your goods or you can bring them to us. Contact us and we will be able to advise you on the best way to proceed.
For each item you win at auction, you are required to pay a deposit. The deposit amount is either fixed or a percentage of the winning bid. For example, deposits are often $1,000 for sale amounts under $10,000 and 10% for sale amounts of $10,000 or more.
Make sure you are aware of the amount of money you will need for a deposit before you bid at an auction.
The deposit secures the item that you have successfully bid on. Deposits must be paid in cash or by bank cheque.
This is an administrative fee charged to the buyer at the completion of sale. This varies from auction to auction. Please refer to the specific auction catalogue at the sale you are attending to find out what the processing fee is.
