All of our salerooms now feature live webcast auctions with our standard rate of just 2.75% internet surcharge plus the usual buyer's premium.

We can post most smaller items to you after you win, and for a minimal charge we offer complete in-house packing together with Royal Mail Special Delivery. For example, 10 minutes packing costs just £7 plus VAT. If the item you have purchased fits in a jiffy bag, the charge is just £6.00 plus VAT for packaging plus the postage.
