REGISTER

Upon arriving at the Auction site, if you are keen to place a bid on any item, you must first register your details.

To do this you must have a current driver's license, passport, RTA photo card or birth card. You must be over 18yrs of age to register at an auction.

You will be given a buyer's card and asked to fill in your Name, Address, Contact Numbers, and drivers license details, the card is then signed. By signing the buyer's card, you are agreeing to all terms and conditions as listed on the reverse of the card. A buyer's registration fee of $100 is required - this fee is fully refundable in the event that you do not purchase anything. If you are a successful bidder, the $100 will be deducted from your invoice total.

You are now registered to bid and will receive a bidding number. You will be given a receipt upon payment, the yellow copy is required to collect your goods and the white copy is your proof of purchase.

If you have not downloaded a product catalogue from our web site, you can purchase one when registering your details. A catalogue will allow you to follow the sale and identify the items you are interested in. The Auction term for a specific item on sale is a "lot number". All Auction Terms and Conditions are also listed in this catalogue.

BID

Upon inspecting the goods on offer at the sale, it is important to make note of the lot numbers in which you are most interested. This will enable you to clearly identify your "lots" of interest when the auction commences and the lot numbers are called.

It is important that you are familiar and certain about the lots you have selected. Once your bid has been taken and sold to you, officially the goods become yours. If you have made a mistake you must let the Auctioneer know immediately so the goods can be re-offered and sold to any other bidders who may have been interested in that particular lot.

Once the lot number of the item you are interested in is called, the auctioneer will start the bidding. When you feel the price is in your range just raise your hand clearly so the Auctioneer can acknowledge your bid. If you are outbid and the price is still within your budget, raise your hand again. It's that easy. If you are the highest bidder show your buyers number to the Auctioneer.

If you have missed out, please remember that the highest bidder wins the lot on offer. However, if there are multiple (identical) units in the lot on offer they have the choice to take as many or all of the items in the lot.

eg. If there are 10 units in a lot and the highest bidder elects to buy only 2 then the next highest bidder has the option to take as many as they like... and so on until all the units have been sold. Please note, in cases where purchases over $1000 are made, you will be approached by a staff member for an extra deposit of approximately 25% of the purchase price.

BUY

Now that the Auction has concluded, you are free to pay for and collect your items.

If you are unable to pay for and collect your goods directly after the sale you may come back at any stage before the final pick up and closing time. Generally the deadline for payment and collections is 4.00pm the day after the Auction. Please check the collection times with our staff for each Auction to make sure there is no confusion. Goods not collected by the deadline remain the property of the vendor and the buyer forfeits the deposit money. There are no refunds or credits for goods not collected (As stated in the Terms and Conditions).

If you believe that you will have a problem picking up your goods in the allocated time, please see a member of staff to see if we are able to make alternative arrangements.
