Buying
Simple to join, clear about what you pay.
What you pay
Every lot is sold at its hammer price. On top of that we charge a buyer’s premium of 22% of the hammer price. Type a hammer price in and see the total before you bid.
The full terms are in the Buyer Policy. Delivery options and prices are on the Shipping page.
UK buyers pay VAT on top of the buyer’s premium. International buyers pay no VAT. Lots won in the Cadmore app carry a lower premium; the rate for each sale is on its catalogue.
How to bid
Bid in real time on our own platform, in the app or on this site, with no platform charge on top of the premium.
Leave your maximum bid on any lot before the sale and we bid for you, up to that figure and never beyond it.
Book a line with us before the sale and one of the team calls you when your lot comes up.
Register for a paddle at the saleroom in Potters Bar and bid with the auctioneer.
