Bidding at Auction Leave a Commission or Absentee Bid
If you cannot attend the sale in person, or you’d rather not bid yourself, you can leave a “commission” or “absentee bid”. This will also ensure that you don’t go over your maximum bid! You can do this either at the saleroom, or online at www.ukauctioneers. com. Simply complete a bidding form with your details
and the lot(s) you want to bid on, putting the maximum amount you are prepared to pay (hammer price). Don’t forget the buyer’s commission is then added on top of the hammer price, so bear this in mind when working out your maximum total price. The auctioneer will then bid on your behalf and will try to secure the lot(s) for you at the lowest price possible as other bidding permits.
