INFORMATION FOR BUYERS

1. Introduction.

The information notes below are intended to assist buyers, especially those who are inexperienced or new to our showrooms. All sales are made in accordance with our printed Conditions of Sale, which are available for consultation at any time and normally accompany the catalogues. Our team will be happy to help you if you don't quite understand something.

2. Agency.

As an auctioneer, we often engage the seller as an agent, whose identity is normally withheld for confidentiality reasons. So when you buy, your main contract is with the seller.

3. Estimates.

Estimates are designed to help buyers estimate how much money might be needed to purchase a given lot. The lowest estimate may represent the lowest price and will certainly not be undercut. Estimates do not include buyer's premium or sales tax (if applicable). Estimates are made some time before sale and are subject to change upon notice. They are by no means definitive.

4. Buyer's commission.

Auction conditions oblige the buyer to pay a premium of 30% over the hammer price for each lot auctioned. This prize includes VAT (see below). All online purchases made through site-saleroom.com will incur an additional fee of 5% plus VAT on the auction price.

5. IVA

(†) indicates that VAT is paid by the buyer at the standard rate (currently 20%) on the auction price and is added to the buyer's premium. This VAT charge is likely because the seller is registered for VAT in the European Union and does not operate the Dealer Margin Scheme or because VAT is paid at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot was imported from outside the European Union and the current situation is that these lots are subject to a reduced VAT rate (5%) on the gross price of the lot (i.e. both the auction price and buyer's premium). Lots that appear without any of the above symbols indicate that no VAT will be paid on the auction price. This is because these lots are sold through the Auctioneers' Margin Regime and it should be noted that the VAT included in the prize is not recoverable as input tax.

6. Condition of Lots.

Please read carefully the lot condition notice contained in the sales conditions. Potential buyers have ample opportunity to inspect the lot and neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneer, accept any responsibility for its condition. In the case of mechanical objects of any age, in particular, perfect functioning is not guaranteed. However, under certain circumstances, lots mislabeled as "intentional counterfeits" may be returned for a refund. There is a 2 week limit. (The term "intentional misrepresentation" is defined in our Terms of Sale).

7. Status Reports.

We can help buyers who cannot see it by providing a condition report, but these reports are based on our own opinion only and are for guidance only and no responsibility is assumed for their accuracy. Potential buyers are strongly encouraged to take a look. (See our conditions of sale).

8. Export of Goods.

Buyers wishing to export goods must determine (a) whether an export license is required and (b) whether there is a specific prohibition on importing such goods, e.g. may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.

9. Bidding.

Bidders may be required to register prior to the start of the auction and lots will be billed to the name and address on the registration form. If we don't know you, some form of identification may be required. Find out in advance about our bidding procedures by telephone.

10. Bidding for Commissions.

Commission bids can be left to the auctioneers, stating the highest bid amount, with no buyer premium. They will be carried out in the most economical way possible, taking into account the reservation (if any) and the competing offers. If two buyers submit identical commission bids, the auctioneer may favor the bid received first. Find out in advance by phone or email about our rules on commission offers.

11. Forms of Payment.

Payment methods. Ewbank accepts secure online payments for all items by credit or debit card with 3D Secure. Payment can be made in person by chip and PIN card or in cash (maximum £5,000). Bank transfers are also accepted (buyer is responsible for all international bank transfer fees). Ewbank can no longer accept checks as payment for items purchased at auction. Please speak with our office before selling if you wish to use other payment methods. There are no additional fees for credit or debit card payments (either securely online or in person via a chip and PIN machine).

12. Collection and Storage.

Consider what the terms of sale say about collection and storage. It is important that the goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may result in the buyer paying storage fees, currently set at £5 plus VAT per lot per day.
