When you arrive at the auction you need to register with the auctioneers in order to obtain a bidding number. You will be required to give your name, address, contact number and maybe a refundable deposit.

If you have not viewed the lots for auction prior to the auction day you will need to allow yourself time to inspect them before the auction starts.

When a lot you are interested in bidding on comes up for sale the auctioneer will announce the lot number and give a brief description of the item usually tied to the description given in the catalogue.

You are free to start bidding at any time after the auctioneer has announced the starting bid. If there are no other bidders your first bid may be the price you pay.

When bidding get the auctioneers attention by raising your hand or making some clear gesture followed by the amount you wish to bid if different to the auctioneers announced price. The auctioneer will return to you every time the bid is against you.

If your bid is the final bid and the price reached is above the items reserve price you have been successful in your purchase.

After you have won the bid you will have to pay for your items by going to the cashier and giving them your bidding number and money. Only then can you remove the items from the auction.

Collection of items usually must be completed by the end of the following day. Any uncollected items will be re-auctioned.
