HOW TO BID SUCCESSFULLY IN
RICHARD ALLAN SALES AND OUR T&C'S

Reserve and Starting Prices
Our summer experiment continues following it's successful appeal.

*All bids are CONFIDENTIAL*
Bids are ENTERED IN ORDER RECEIVED or POSTING DATE
*TELEPHONE BIDS are acceptable 0207 379 5439
*MAIL YOUR BIDS EARLY–the first bid received of equal bids will be successful.

Our system works simply – as follows:
Example 1: On a lot estimated at £50, 2 bids are received: Mr.A bids £60 and Mr.B bids £90 clearly anxious to buy, Mr. B will succeed, but HE WILL ONLY PAY £65 i.e. one step above the second highest bid.
Example 2: Mr. C bids £150 on a lot estimated at £50 and no other
bids above estimate are received. The lot will sell to him for £50.

WE DO NOT MANUFACTURE SPURIOUS UNDERBIDS.
NB - THE PRICES ARE THE RESERVE AND STARTING PRICE
BIDS BELOW CANNOT BE ACCEPTED

Limited Budget Buyers
You can bid on as many lots as you wish (also on alternative bid lots) without exceeding your planned amount of purchase. See space provided on bid form. We will stop buying for you once your limit is reached. This systems helps to avoid disappointment by increasing your chance of buying something.
