IMPORTANT INFORMATIO N FO R BU Y ERS
Absentee Bids It is recommended that absentee bids are placed using our online advance bidding facility, which is available on our website at
www.dnw.co.uk Bids placed in this way cannot be seen by others and do not go live until the actual moment that the lot in question is being offered for sale. All bids can be easily altered or cancelled by the bidder prior to this point. An automated email will be sent confirming all bids and alterations.
A valid email address is required to bid online.
There is no additional charge for online bidding and it is not necessary to pre-register a payment card in order to do so.
While we are still happy to execute all bids submitted in writing or by telephone, fax, etc, it should be noted that bids left with us will be entered at our offices using the same bidding facility to which all clients have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your bids than to execute them yourself online.
While online bids can be placed up until the moment a lot is offered for sale, all other bids made to the office must be confirmed in writing, by fax or by email, and should be received by 15.00 on the day before the auction. Although we will endeavour to execute late bids, Dix Noonan Webb Ltd cannot accept responsibility for any bids received later than this.
Commission Form Further advice to bidders and purchasers may be found on the commission form included with this catalogue. Please use this form when sending bids to us by post or fax.
Buyers’ Premium A buyers’ premium of 20% on the hammer price (plus VAT if resident in, or lots are delivered within, the European Union) is payable by the buyer of all lots.
Pre-sale Estimates The pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective purchasers. Any bid between the listed figures would, in our opinion, offer a fair chance of success. However all lots, depending on the degree of competition, can realise prices either above or below the listed estimates.
All lots are automatically reserved at the bid step which reflects
80% of the lower estimate, unless otherwise instructed by the buyer.
Methods of Payment All payments must be made in pounds sterling within five days of the end of a sale unless credit terms have been made by prior arrangement.
The best way to make payment is by Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit or debit cards via our website,
www.dnw.co.uk. Carriage and insurance is pre-calculated for you, so that you may pay immediately. Payment may also be made by transfer direct to Dix Noonan Webb’s account at:

Alternative methods of payment which may enable immediate clearance of purchases include cash, recognised banker’s drafts, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and American Express) and debit cards. Although personal and company cheques are accepted, buyers are advised that property will not be released until such cheques have fully cleared and cannot be subject to recall, which may take two weeks. Third party payment is not accepted, except by prior arrangement.
