We will then give you your Paddle Number; this is your personal number to use when you are bidding for your piano.
The Auction
The auction takes place in the Main Hall. There is seating upstairs in the balcony and around the Main Hall. Make sure you can see the auctioneer, who will be on the stage at the rostrum, and then he can see you!
Bidding starts at Lot 1 and follows the numerical order printed in the catalogue and amendment sheet.
The auctioneer will start the bidding and will invite bids incrementally until the item has been sold. He will be looking out for bidders. The bidding ends when the auctioneer brings his gavel down. This final bid is called the Hammer Price.
Bidding
The estimated guide price in the catalogue is just that. Some lots may go for more and some may go for less. Some lots may not reach their reserve and therefore remain unsold.
There are four ways to bid:
In Person You are in the room during the auction and bid for your chosen lot yourself using your paddle number.
Commission Bid. If you are unable to attend the auction, or are worried about bidding in person, you may leave a maximum bid on a Commission Bid form. The auctioneer will then bid incrementally on your behalf during the sale up to the maximum amount you have chosen. If the final bid is less than your maximum bid you will only have to pay this lower price.
Telephone Bid. If you are unable to attend the auction you may follow the sale and bid by phone. You will be called a short time before your lot number is due. You will then be talked through the bidding on your chosen lot and given the option to continue or stop bidding.
Internet Bid It is possible to bid online during the auction through www.the-saleroom.com/pianoauctions Please note the-saleroom.com make a 3% charge for their service which we administer on their behalf.
+ Set yourself a limit. Remember to include the transport costs, Buyer’s premium and VAT (see below)
+ You need to be ready for the lot number you are interested in.
+ If you want to bid you need to raise your Paddle Number.
+ The auctioneer will acknowledge you are now in the bidding and will continue with the sale.
+ You can drop out of the bidding at any time (do not raise your Paddle Number).
+ If your bid is successful the auctioneer will take a note of your Paddle Number before moving on to the next item.
The final cost of your piano is worked out as follows:
Hammer Price + Buyer’s Premium + VAT on the Buyer’s Premium = Total
+ Hammer Price (HP) is the final bid on the piano
+ Buyer’s Premium (BP) is 20% on the Hammer Price
+ VAT on the Buyer’s Premium is 20% on the Buyer’s Premium
eg HP of £500 + BP of £100 + VAT of £20 = £620
HP of £1,000 + BP of £200 + VAT of £40 = £1,240
HP of £5,000 + BP of £1,000 VAT of £200 = £6,200
* Hammer Price + Buyer’s Premium + VAT on both (only on lots with asterisks*) = Total
Sometimes pianos are marked with an asterisk * in the catalogue. This is because VAT has to be paid on the entire Hammer Price as well as the Buyer’s Commission.
eg HP of £500 + BP of £100 + VAT of £120 = £720
HP of £1,000 + BP of £200 + VAT of £240 = £1,440
HP of £5,000 + BP of £1,000 VAT of £1,200 = £7,200
** Hammer Price + Buyer’s Premium + VAT on the Buyer’s Premium + VAT at 5% on HP (only on lots with asterisks**) = Total
Sometimes pianos are marked with two asterisks ** in the catalogue. This is because the item has been imported from outside the EU and VAT is payable on the Hammer Price of that lot at the rate of 5%
eg HP of £500 + BP of £100 + VAT of £45 = £645
HP of £1,000 + BP of £200 + VAT of £90 = £1,290
HP of £5,000 + BP of £1,000 VAT of £450 = £6,450
