LISTING SHEET
Description: Sellers are responsible for the accurate description of their lots on the listing
sheet. We will give guidance.
Reserves: You can have reserves and there is no charge. We will give advice on reserves.
Sellers need to balance the reserve price against the costs and time they will incur if the item
fails to sell and has to be resold elsewhere. Reserves below £10 are pointless in our opinion.
Prices paid at repeat auction programmes on TV do not reflect the current market. Some items
sell for a third of what they did 3 years ago because the market has become swamped with this
sort of item. If a buyer asks for the reserve we inform them (at catalogued auctions this is
revealed in the estimate). Your reserve can put bidders off.
Lot number: Are assigned by viewing commences.
Name, address and telephone number: Please identify yourself.
Leave the listing sheet with your lots. Valuable small items can be left in the display cabinets.
Please discuss this with a member of staff.
