Many salerooms now hold their auction
weekly, bi-weekly, twice a week or even monthly. Always try an
attend a viewing prior to the auction , this is usually 1one or two days
before the sale, to view the lot/s you are interested in buying. Some
auctions/salerooms will give you a bidding number or a paddle with a
number on, for you to bid at the auction. Always handle the lot/s so you
can check for any damage as well as see the overall condition of the
sale lot.
See if there is a auction guide price to
the lot ..if not as the auctioneer for a rough estimate on the lot.
Always check in the auction catalogue for the rates of commission before
you start bidding, they will range from a few % right up to 25%..this is
added on to the final auction price as well as vat added to the
commission price.
