Questions & Points to Note:

Please satisfy yourselves on all matters before bidding, ensure that you bid on the correct lot, and remember that all lots are sold as seen, quantities and description are for guidance only and should not be relied on. Also whilst we believe that the goods are described working, faults are not declared and therefore no goods may be returned.  We will make every effort to ensure the safe keeping of goods. However, we will not be held responsible for any damage or loss of goods once a sale has been declared.
