REGISTERING TO BID
New clients must register online to bid (whether in person or in absentia). This can be done via our website www.noonans.co.uk
Registrations will be subject to due diligence and Noonans reserves the right to cancel registrations.
Once registered, any client bidding for the rst time online will need to enter their card details so that a security check can be performed to authorise you to bid (www.noonans.co.uk >Your Account > Account Authorisation). This check is secure, your card details are not seen by us and no funds will be deducted.
BIDDING PRIORITY
Please note that we prioritise executing commission bids as early as possible in order to secure the lot for you at the cheapest possible price. It is therefore entirely possible that a lot can sell at your top bid to another bidder. To avoid this happening we o er an optional ‘Plus 1’ bidding increment facility, whereby if the bidding is against you at your maximum bid the auctioneer will execute one further bid on your behalf. Please note that in the event of identical top bids priority is given to the rst bid received.
PLACING BIDS
LIVE BIDDING VIA WWW.NOONANS.CO.UK
You may bid in real time from your computer or mobile device. We provide an optional live video and audio feed of the auctioneer, allowing you to participate in much the same way as attending the auction. You may see your invoice and pay online directly after you’ve nished bidding. There is no additional charge for this facility.
ADVANCE BIDDING VIA
WWW.NOONANS.CO.UK
We strongly advise this method if you wish to leave bids in advance as it is the easiest, most accurate and exible way to leave your bids and gives you total control over them right up to the point that the lot is o ered for sale. Bids made online cannot be seen by others and only become live at the point the lot is being sold. Up until this time your bids can be easily altered or cancelled. An automated email is sent to con rm any changes made. There is no additional charge for online bidding.
ADVANCE BIDDING VIA POST, EMAIL OR TELEPHONE
Whilst we are still happy to execute all bids submitted to us using post, email or telephone, it should be noted that all bids left with us in these ways will be entered at our o ces using exactly the same bidding facility to which all our clients have access. There is, therefore, no better way of ensuring the accuracy of your advance bids than to place them yourself online.
If you are registered with Noonans you may bid by email to bids@noonans.co.uk or by telephone to 020 7016 1700. All bids placed by email or telephone must be received before 4 PM on the day preceding the sale.
A bidding form is included in the back of this catalogue. If you wish to use this please ll it in carefully, to include all relevant information. Please ensure that you post this form so that it arrives, at the latest, the day before the sale.
BIDDING IN THE AUCTION ROOM
You are very welcome to attend the auction and bid in person if you are registered with Noonans.
