|
A cheque must be enclosed with your bids endorsed "Not to exceed £XXXX" (the maximum amount of your spend). Please refer to the bid form. Alternatively your debit or credit card details should be supplied (these details will be destroyed by shredding immediately after use, we do not store any card information). |
Viewing Arrangements
Lots can be viewed at our Banbury depot, strictly by prior appointment.
As viewing slots are limited, we are charging a deposit fee of £200 which will be deducted from your invoice total if you are successful, or refunded if your competitive bid fails. We cannot accept unrealistic bids. Unfortunately, we have no alternative but to charge this deposit fee as we need to keep limited viewing slots available for those with a particular interest in the material and discourage casual viewing.
Please note that viewing will be under supervision and the use of cameras is not permitted. If you wish to bring any viewing equipment, please feel free to do so. This will not be provided.
To book a slot and pay your deposit, please phone 01865 362520 or email .
Terms and Conditions of Sale
- 1. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the description of lots but we hereby give notice that all statements, whether spoken or written, are those of opinion only and we do not hold ourselves liable for any errors or omissions. Obvious defects will be noted and unless stated otherwise, all items are considered by us to be in at least good to very good condition. Customers are reminded that certain lots may be fragile due to their age, wear, etc. When handling such material on viewing day at Stoneleigh, you are asked to treat it with the utmost care and attention.
- 2. Carriage and packing will be charged extra, dispatched by Mailboxes Banbury who will provide a quote following the sale.
- 3. Bids should be made on the Bidding Form provided with the catalogue. The Bidding Form may also be downloaded from the website.
- 4. All lots in this section carry a reserve which is published and in all cases will be no less than a minimum of £5. Bids may be for any amount in whole pounds (pence will be ignored) and the highest bidder on any lot will be successful. The amount of the bid paid by the successful bidder, which will be at one bidding step above the previous highest bidder, will be determined by bid increments as defined in the following scale:
Between £20 and £100 | £5 increments |
£100 and £500 | £10 increments |
£500 and £1000 | £20 increments |
Over £1000 | £50 increments |
Please note that any bids received that do not conform to the increments shown in this table will be rounded up to the next legal bid above. Any bid below the reserve price will be rounded up to it.
When there is only one bid at or above the reserve, the bidder will pay the reserve price. In the case of equal highest bids, the lot will go to the first bid received.
- 5. A Buyer's Premium of 18% (including VAT) will be raised on all items at the time of settlement.
- 6. Payment can be made either by debit card or cheque. Your cheque, or card details, must accompany your bid.
(i) Cheques should be made payable to "Great Central Railwayana Ltd" (please do not abbreviate) with the amount left blank, and endorsed "Not To Exceed £XXX" where XXX is the total of all your bids (or your spending limit) plus 18% Buyer's Premium (including VAT). Please do not forget to sign your cheque! Your cheque will be shredded if you are completely unsuccessful, otherwise we will enter on the cheque the amount due and a receipt will be enclosed with the lots you have successfully purchased.
(ii) We accept payment by debit card; card payements are free of surcharge. Your card details must be provided with your bids. This information will be stored securely and shredded shortly after the sale closes.
