Fraser's Postal Auction starts as soon as soon as you receive your catalogue and will close on the date shown in the auction description at 12pm (GMT). No bids will be accepted after the auction closes. Each item in the catalogue is assigned a minimum bid (Mb) and no bids will be accepted below this amount. Each winning bid is subject to 10% commission, with VAT being charged at 17.5% on the hammer price unless the item is marked with the symbol*.
Bids must be increased in £5 increments where the highest bid is lower than £50 and in 10% increments thereafter (to the nearest pound). You may call to check on the state of the bidding at any time prior to the auction closing. No bids may be withdrawn, and you are obliged to honour any bids placed. Failure to do so will result in the suspension of future bidding privileges. Fraser's withhold the right to refuse any bidding, and all bidders must be aged 18 or above.
The maximum bid system makes bidding even more convenient. Simply leave the maximum amount you are prepared to bid on any lot (excluding commission and VAT) and we will increase your bid as necessary in 10% increments up to that figure. This service is confidential and if we receive no other bids, your maximum bid will not be activated. You need no longer worry about checking on the state of your bids.
The viewing of lots must be arranged in advance, and no lots may be viewed on the closing day of the auction unless specified otherwise. Photocopies or scans of lots will be available only at Fraser's discretion.
Payment will be accepted by American Express, Mastercard, Switch, Solo, Visa, Cash, Postal Orders and I.M.O's made payable in sterling only. Please note that cheques take 10 working days to clear, and Eurocheques 28.
Postage will be charged as applicable (Free postage and packaging does not apply to items purchased through auction), and all items will be sent either by registered delivery or courier as is judged appropriate. Items will only be despatched by recorded post with written authorisation and at the recipient's own risk. All pieces will be despatched within 28 days of receipt of payment.
Collection of lots must be arranged in advance with a minimum of 24 hours notice given. No lots will be released prior to payment.
All items in Fraser's Auctions are unconditionally guaranteed authentic for life (unless otherwise stated) therefore certificates of authenticity are not produced for items purchased through auction.
