The Auction

Conduct of the Auction
The auctioneer will commence the bidding and advance the bidding in such increments as he considers appropriate. The contract between the buyer and the seller is concluded on the striking of the auctioneer's hammer. The auctioneer shall have discretion to refuse bids, withdraw or re-offer for lots for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if he believes that there may have been an error or dispute, and may also take such other action as he reasonably deems necessary. Title in a lot will not pass to the buyer until Graham Budd Auctions has received the purchase price in cleared funds. Remedies for non-payment are stated in our Conditions of Business which can be viewed in full at our website www.grahambuddauctions.co.uk

Pre-Sale Viewing
We are offering pre-sale viewing of lots at our Enfield premises in North London. This is strictly by a pre-arranged timed appointment. Staff and visitors are required to wear masks. The last opportunity to view lots at our premises is Friday 4th June.

Condition Reports
Any requests for condition reports or additional photographs must be received by Friday 4th June.

Absentee Bidding
If you are unable or do not wish to bid live on the auction day, the Invaluable bidding platform accepts absentee bids. You will be required to declare your maximum limit, but the auctioneer will try and achieve the most inexpensive price for you subject always to the reserve price and competition from other bidders.

Telephone Bidding
As an alternative, there will be a telephone bidding service for the auction. Contact the auctioneer directly.

Buyer's Premium and VAT
The final selling bid at auction is known as the 'hammer price.' The auctioneer charges a buyer's premium of 20.5% of the hammer price. Additionally, the Invaluable platform charges a 5% surcharge. Both the buyer's premium and the internet surcharge are subject to VAT at the current rate of 20%.

Buyers from outside of the UK, including EU countries, are not required to pay VAT on their purchases on condition that the goods are being shipped overseas and will not remain in the United Kingdom. Under these circumstances buyers will receive an export invoice which will not contain any VAT element.
