1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers,
particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted
on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and
normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything
you do not fully understand.
2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity,
for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy
your primary contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might
be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent
the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the
Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before
the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense
definitive.
4. Buyer’s Premium. The Conditions of Sale oblige buyers to pay a buyer’s premium
at 21% on the hammer price of each lot purchased. VAT is charged on the premium
(see below).
5. VAT. (*) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate
(presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium.
This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT
within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because
VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that
the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position
is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price
(i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without
either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price.
This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should
be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.
6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided
by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general
view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination
of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise
for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods
and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which
they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the
condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we,
as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular,
mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However,
in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition,
we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed
to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer
examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because
they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3
week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions
of Sale).
7. Electrical goods (unless they are sold as ‘antiques’ only) are checked over for
compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician and are guaranteed
up until the Wednesday following the sale.
8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether
an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition
on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials
such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.
9. Bidding. Bidders are required to register before the sale commences and lots
will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of
identification will be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance
about our arrangements for telephone bidding.
10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating
the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as
cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If
two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first
bid received. The auctioneers reserve the right to exceed the maximum amount by
one bid in order to secure the lot on your behalf. Please enquire in advance about
our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone, email or FAX.
11. Methods of Payment. These are cash, debit or credit card or banker’s draught.
12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about
collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly.
Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.
13. DROIT DE SUITE pleases see point 21 in CONDITIONS OF SALE.
14. LIVE BIDDING please see point 22 in CONDITIONS OF SALE

David Duggleby Ltd makes a charge of 1% of the hammer price plus VAT. The liability
assumed by David Duggleby Ltd shall be limited to the lower pre-sale estimate, or
the hammer price if the lot has sold, or to the reserve if the lot was unsold. (b)

  storage and insurance charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment).

- (c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to
  the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.

of £1 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not
remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three
weeks we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds
of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal.
15. Settlement. After sale settlement of the net sum due to you normally takes place

sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds.
