A charge for internet buyers 22% including GST on all successful bids.
Goods and Services Tax
Some lots may be subject to GST. This is charged on the Hammer Price at the standard rate of 10 %. The symbol * after the lot number will identify lots to which GST applies.
Estimates
These appear with each lot and should be treated as a guide regarding the value of a lot based on market trends and historic realisations. Estimates do not include the Buyers Premium or GST and actual prices realised at the sale may fall within, above or below the estimate.
Condition of Lots
It is recommended that prospective buyers thoroughly examine all lots prior to purchase. All lots are sold ‘as is’. Imperfections or defects are not necessarily indicated in the catalogue.
Condition Reports
Should a prospective buyer be unable to inspect a lot at pre-sale viewings a condition report can be made available upon request. A condition report is a statement of opinion only and not of fact.
Absentee Bidding
For prospective buyers unable to attend an auction, and auctions by Private Treaty, all bids should be lodged as Absentee Bids prior to the auction. Absentee Bids must be advised in writing. Appropriate forms are available with the catalogue and upon request. In the event of two or more buyers submitting identical bids for a lot the first bid received takes precedence.
Bidding Increments
Bidding increments are subject to the auctioneer’s discretion; however the following bidding intervals are generally used. Absentee bids that do not conform to these intervals may be lowered to the next bidding interval:
500/1,000 by 50
1,000/2,000 by 100
2,000/5,000 by 200
5,000/10,000 by 500
10,000/20,000 by 1,000
20,000 and above at auctioneers discretion.
Successful Bids for Absentee Bidders
All lots will be sold to the highest bidder at the next bidding increment and subject to reserves. For example should a lot carry an estimate of 500/1,000 and the two highest bids tendered are 500 and 3,000 the lot would be sold for 550. Should the highest bid not reach the reserve the lot may be referred to the highest bidder.
