INFORMATION FOR BUYERS
1. Introduction.The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our
salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally
accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.
2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally
disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular
lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s
Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement
before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.
4. Buyer’s Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium at 25.2% inclusive of VAT on the hammer
price of each lot purchased.
5. VAT. (†) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being
an element in the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the
European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The
double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these
lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots
which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots
are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable
as input tax.
6. Condition of Lots. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale.
Intending buyers have ample opportunity form inspection of goods and neither the seller nor we as the auctioneers accept any
responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However,
in specified circumstances lots mis-described because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is
a 2 week limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).
7. Condition Reports.We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by providing a condition report, but these reports are based
solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are
strongly encouraged to view. (Please see our Conditions of Sale).
8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether
there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as
ivory. Ask us if you need help.
9. Bidding. Bidders may be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on
the registration form. Some form of identification may be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our
arrangements for telephone bidding.
10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding
buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two
buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Commission bids should be left with
us before an auction starts. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or
Email.
11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted.
Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash). We accept card
payments provided that your registered address is the same as the card address. There is a surcharge of 2.5% plus VAT on credit
cards but no charge on debit cards.
12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are
paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges which are currently set at £5 plus VAT
per lot per day.
13. Artist Resale Right. Buyers of lots executed by qualifying artists are subject to ARR payments which will be added to the
purchaser’s invoice. Where possible such lots are marked in the catalogue with §. The charge will be applied only where the
hammer price exceeds 1,000 Euros and will be a maximum of 4%, for full details visit www.dacs.org.uk or telephone
[phone].
