Our
experienced team of valuers are always pleased to offer advice on the
saleability of any item, and its value.
Should
you decide to enter items into one of our auctions, please contact us
either by email or phone. They will then be inspected by one of our
valuation team who will advise on the reserve (minimum price) that should
be accepted for them.
Please
note: Any shown reserves will be subject to an auctioneer's discretion
of 10% unless you tell us that this is your firm price.
Once
entries for an auction are closed, the process of cataloguing begins.
Printed
catalogues are supplied for the General Sale, but
you may view photos of the highlights and preview online usually one
or two days before the auction.
All
lots will need to be delivered to us by 1pm on the day of the auction
in order to be included. Failure to do so will mean that sellers will
be liable to pay the lotting fees.
After
the auction, providing your items have sold,
you will receive payment less our selling commission and charges. Items
that do not sell will, unless we are otherwise instructed, have to be
collected by the seller immediately after the auction, failure in doing
so may result in the lots being disposed of at our discretion.
Carousel reserves the
right to dispose of items left for longer than three months following
the auction. There will be a fee equivalent to 30% of the reserve price
for each lot payable by the vendor for storage and insurance of uncollected
items.
Selling
charges are £3 lotting fee per lot + 12% commission of the selling price
achieved at the auction.
