How to Sell on Auction

  1. The items can be delivered or arrangements for collection can be made by calling our offices.
  2. The seller’s goods are catalogued in our ‘Goods Received Book’ and the seller is issued with a copy of the Goods Recieved Note (GRN).
  3. Alf Duncan Auctioneers will set the auction date, advertise, notify all relevant buyers from our extensive customer database and sell your items by auction.
  4. Reserves may be put on certain items, but only if in agreement with the auctioneer.  If the reserves are too high for auction purposes, the auction house will advise you thereof.  If the seller insists on a reserve, the item will be placed on auction, however, a 10 % premium is payable if the item is not sold.  This is just to ensure that we don’t waste each other’s time.
  5. Alf Duncan charges 18 % seller’s commission (for large parcels, commission can be negotiated)

It’s that simple!
