This is a timed auction, commencing with lot 1.

You will be able to place bids from 6pm on Tuesday 3 February and the auction will close in sequential order from 7pm on Monday 9 February.

A countdown clock is placed under every lot on the lot detail page for you to keep track on the time remaining to bid before the lot is closed. The sale will close one lot at a time, in sequential order.

If a new highest bid is placed during the last 5 minutes before a lot closes, the end time for that lot will be extended by another 5 minutes until there are no more bids remaining. A lot of bidding activity happens in those final minutes, so keep monitoring the lots you are interested in.

SWORDERS' DELIVERY SERVICE

Sworders offer a delivery service for item(s) purchased, either by shipping ourselves, or use of a third party logistics company.

If you purchase an item from the sale, where possible, we will allocate a shipping cost to the item. You will be able to see this in your Sworders account after the sale. From there you can then decide to accept the delivery service. If no shipping cost is available, due to the size/weight of the item, a bespoke shipping estimate can be obtained after the sale using the link in your invoice email.

Please note, if you purchase multiple lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the shipping costs.

Only when the shipping costs have been paid will the item(s) be collected from Sworders for shipping. Additionally, please ensure that the Delivery address is correct and up to date in your Sworders account; if this is blank, your Correspondence address will be used.
