Beamish Auctions – GNCCS 2019 Terms and Conditions

Sellers Terms and Conditions

There is no entry fee for car or motorcycle consignments. Should your entry sell at auction, we will charge our standard seller's commission of 5%+VAT based on the hammer price your entry has achieved. The sales commission will be deducted from the hammer price (if the reserve is met), with the remainder being paid to the seller.

Sellers can specify a fixed reserve. We do not make discretionary changes to reserves on sale day under any circumstances without the sellers prior consent.

Proceeds of your sold consignment will be paid to the seller within a maximum of 5 working days after we have received the full purchase price from the buyer. We will settle with you the amount of the hammer price less any outstanding charges (including transport, sales commission fees and VAT as previously agreed).

Buyers Terms and Conditions

All purchases are subject to a buyers premium of 15% + VAT at the current rate

The purchasers of all lots under £1000 hammer price must pay for the item in full by the end of the sale day and before the lot can be removed unless alternative arrangements are made in advance

The purchasers of all lots over £1000 hammer price must pay a minimum £500 deposit towards the item by the end of the sale day. The remaining amount will be due within 5 working days of the end of the auction. No lots will be released until cleared funds are received in full.

Payments are accepted by debit card or bank transfer only.

Fees – A Worked Example

For example a winning bid at the fall of the hammer of £10,000 would lead to a final bill of for the purchaser of £11800 including VAT (£10000+[£1500 +£300 VAT])

The seller, having enjoyed free entry of their lot into the auction, would be returned a total of £9400. This is the £10000 hammer price less 5% + VAT, (£10000 - [£500+£100 VAT])
