5.
It is up to the bidder to satisfy themselves prior to buying as to the condition of a lot. Whilst we make certain observations on
the lot, which are intended to be as helpful as possible, references in the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance
only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference
does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any
others. The condition report is an expression of opinion only and must not be treated as a statement of fact.
Please ensure that condition report requests are submitted before 12 noon on Saturday 27th May as we cannot guarantee that they
will be dealt with after this time.
6.
ABSENTEE BIDS
We are happy to execute absentee or written bids for bidders who are unable to attend and can arrange for bidding to be conducted
by telephone. However, these services are subject to special conditions (see conditions of sale in this catalogue). All arrangements for
absentee and telephone bidding must be made before 5pm on the day prior to sale. Cancellation of bids must be confirmed before this
time and cannot be guaranteed after the auction as commenced.
Bidding by telephone may be booked on lots with a minimum estimate of €500. Early booking is advisable as availability of lines cannot
be guaranteed.
