PLEASE NOTE CHANGES TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS particularly to collection arrangements.

TIMED BIDDING

This is an Timed Auction, ending from 12 noon on Friday 17th July

Please note that the timed auction format works on a countdown principle, with bidding continuing until the countdown reaches zero. To avoid "sniping" (last minute bids) the time of each lot will extend if bids are left in the last few seconds, to enable under-bidders to rebid; thus emulating the bidding in the saleroom whereby the auctioneer would ask the underbidder if they wished to bid again.

VIEWING

Viewing is limited at present to virtual viewing, which is available by appointment prior to sale day via video call (facetime, whatsapp, or zoom). Please contact us by email salerooms@keysauctions.co.uk if you would like to make a viewing appointment.

Condition reports are available on request – please email your requirements. These should be sent at least two working days prior to the end of the auction to ensure a reply.

PAYMENT

Payment is due strictly within 48 HOURS of the auction, and can be made via online card payment (link will be supplied with invoice) or by BACS transfer.

Remedies for non-payment are set out in our conditions of sale, please note that for any account remaining unpaid seven days after the auction the Auctioneers reserve the right to take payment from registered Card Details, and to add administrative charges and interest as set out in the full conditions of sale.
