Information for Buyers

Estimates, Reserves and Buyer's Premium

Each lot has an estimated price listed, excluding the Buyer’s Premium and GST (if applicable). Estimates are a guide and may change before the auction.

Some lots have a confidential reserve price—the minimum the seller will accept—which will never exceed the estimate.

Buyer’s Premium: 25% (incl. GST) on the hammer price.

GST: Applies where noted in the catalogue.
International buyers may be eligible for a GST refund with proof of export within 60 days.

Payment: Due within three working days via direct deposit, debit/credit card (surcharge applies), or cash (max. $10,000).

Condition of Lots

Viewing Auction allows you to inspect each lot before bidding. We encourage you to review items carefully, and our team is available to answer any questions.

All lots are sold ‘as is.’ We make no representations about the condition of any lot, and buyers should inspect items before purchase.

For those unable to attend a viewing, we may provide condition reports upon request. These are opinions, not guarantees. Requests for condition reports must be made in writing and are not available for lots estimated under $500 or for group lots.

Online images may not reflect actual colours or condition.
