FAQ’s
Polite Reminder
If you have bought items in the auction they must be paid for on the day of the sale and collected no later than 3 working days after the sale. Goods that remain unpaid / uncollected after the 3rd working day will be re-sold and bidders may be asked to leave a deposit to participate in future auctions.
How do I bid?
Come down to the auction rooms before the start of the sale to register, you’ll then be given a unique bidding number to use when you bid on items in the auction.
If you want to save time on the auction day, you can come down to the auction rooms up to a week in advance of the auction and register beforehand (although most people just come down on the day). Note: your unique bidding number is only applicable for that day’s bidding (i.e. not for any future auction) Bidding cards are to be returned at the end of each auction.
Can I bid ‘without’ being at the auction?
Yes! – all you need to do is write your name and number on a commission sheet, and the item(s) you are interested in, and the amount you wish to bid, we’ll call you should you be successful. Commission sheets are available from Sanderson’s – just call us on 01429 862600 or click here to download a form.
How do I collect any successful bids?
If your bid is successful, and the auction has drawn to a close (around 2-3pm), you must pay for and if possible collect your goods on the day of the auction. Sometimes, it may be possible to make a payment during the break in the sale. We will hold goods you have bought free of charge for three working days after the auction, however after that point any goods remaining uncollected will incur a holding fee.
How do I get the big stuff home?
Ask at the auction about local delivery rates – we’d be happy to ensure your purchases are safely transported home or to your workplace.
