Basic Auction Consignment Terms:

The Individual or Business making the consignment confirms they are the legal owner of all of the items and there is no question of ownership from any third party.

Lots are consigned by W/A into the next available auction unless otherwise agreed with the client.

There are zero add-on costs, we do not charge for photographs, nor do we charge lotting fees.

Payment is made 30 days after the sale (except in the case of unpaid invoices, in which case we communicate with the vendor to find the best solution)

We are happy to contra sales against purchases should you consign items into an auction and wish to purchase lots from the same auction. (We are happy to do this for up to 80% of your sales, to protect us against non-payment)


Unsold items entered into auction:

We do not charge for items that do not sell. However we reserve the right to charge return postage at cost (including packing materials) for any items returned to a vendor.

We are happy to relist unsold items in future auctions at no additional cost, but prefer that estimates are reduced by at least 5-10% on any subsequent repeated sale attempt.

Retails Commission Sales:

We charge a flat rate 10% rate for selling items on commission through the retail section of the website.


We list items as soon as possible, with the exception of during a live auction (where they will be listed immediately afterwards)
Payment is made for sold retail commission lots 14 days after they are received by the buyer (this allows us to comply with distance selling regulations should the buyer wish to return the item within the confines of the law).
