Terms

TO BID

Anyone wishing to bid must first register and obtain a Paddle Number by leaving a 10 euro cash refundable deposit. We only accept bids from Paddle holders.

HOW DO I BID AT THE AUCTION ?

Firstly, be very clear on the Lot numbers upon which you wish to bid. The Auctioneer states the Lot number and a brief description prior to it being sold.
When you hear the Lot number in which you are interested, make known your interest to the Auctioneer by raising your paddle. If the Auctioneer does not happen to spot you
- call out - 'here'. When you successfully buy a Lot, the Auctioneer will say 'sold', and state the hammer price and bring the hammer down.

Children under the control of a responsible adult are allowed during viewing but must leave the building before the auction starts.
