LIVE AUCTION - REGISTER TO BID

10th January (2pm onwards) : Results/Invoices will be issued to all bidders, regardless of success.

10th January (6pm) : Unsold Lots will be available to purchase. Please note, although you can request and pay for unsold lots straight away, please be aware that we are unlikely to commence shipping Late Sales orders until Monday 13th January at the earliest. Our procedures are such that auction bidders who provide payment details before the closing date are processed first in bidder number order; we then start shipping goods for those auction bidders who send payment in response to their invoice. Late Sales orders are processed and shipped after completion of the above. We regret we cannot make exceptions in order to expedite shipping Late Sales orders as we believe this would be unfair to auction bidders.

13th January : Shipping Commences. As noted above, bidders who provided payment details before the closing date are processed first.

27th January (10am) : Late Sales Closes. Any remaining unsold lots will be reoffered with a reduced estimate in auction UPA97 in April.
