AUCTION FORMAT: TIMED ONLINE
This is a timed online auction ending on Monday 6th May at 6pm. Timed Online Auctions are purely online auctions - there is no auctioneer. Similarly, it is not possible to bid by telephone or leave a commission bid direct with Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood. Commission bids can be left via your online bidding account. On the final day of the auction, lots will start closing from 6pm BST at 30 second intervals. Please note, if there are lots of last minute bids on a particular lot, subsequent lots could close before bidding has finished on an earlier lot, ie the lots might not close sequentially.
Any bids within the last 5minutes of the scheduled end time of a lot will extend the end time to 5mins after the last bid. This will continue until bidding ceases. For instance, lot 1 is scheduled to end at 6pm. A bid placed at 5.56pm will result in an amended end time of 6.01pm.
BUYER’S PREMIUM:
Buyer’s premium at 26% + VAT (31.2% inclusive) up to £20,000 and 25% + VAT (30% inclusive) thereafter per lot which shall include VAT on the premium at the rate imposed by law with the exception of books and unframed maps on which no VAT is payable.
