How to Buy

Bidding has never been easier

Here are your options:

1.

If you have an account with the-saleroom.com, you can use those login details  to register in any of our auctions and to bid live. Just put in your usual saleroom username and password, and you only pay our 1%  live bidding fee. If you aren’t yet registered, creating an account with us is simple.

2.

You can bid live during the auction through our website (a 1% surcharge applies), or through the-saleroom.com, invaluable.com or liveauctioneers.com (where a 5% surcharge applies).

3.

Alternatively, you can leave an absentee bid through our online catalogue or by contacting us direct. This will be executed on your behalf by the auctioneer who will purchase the lot as cheaply as possible bearing in mind any reserve price and other bids.

4.

Book a telephone bid and we will call you during the auction to ask whether you wish to bid on the lot.
