| Absentee Bidding with Bromptons |
|
What is an absentee bid? An absentee bid is your written instruction directing Brompton's Auctioneers to bid for you on one or more lots up to the maximum amount you specify for each lot. Absentee bids are also called written bids, commission bids, or order bids. How can I arrange an absentee bid? You can arrange an absentee bid by filling out a form during a visit to Brompton's Auctioneers, by faxing or mailing a bid form to us, or by telephoning the Bids Office. Now you also have the convenience of submitting bids online while using the catalogue search engine on Bromptonsauctioneers.com. How much should I bid? Your bid should be the largest amount you are willing to bid in the saleroom. Our staff will attempt to execute your bid at the lowest possible amount as determined by the reserve and competing bids for that lot. Please bear in mind that, in addition to the successful bid amount, the buyer will also pay a Buyer's Premium and any applicable sales, use or value added taxes (VAT) that may be due. Any shipping costs will also be the buyer's responsibility. Is timing important? Because absentee bids are time-stamped, it is advantageous to submit your bid as early as possible. If two or more parties leave identical bids, the first bid received by Brompton's Auctioneers will take precedence. Can I bid any amount? Yes, within reason. In deciding how much to bid, please keep in mind that most property at Brompton's Auctioneers is sold subject to a reserve. Can I change or cancel a bid? Yes, you can telephone or fax the Bids Office. Online bids can be changed or cancelled online up to approximately 24 hours before the sale date. How will Brompton's Auctioneers notify me after the auction? Immediately after the auction, Brompton's Auctioneers sends invoices by postal mail and email to all successful bidders. |
