Terms & Conditions

RESERVE PRICES
Some items have a reserve price. Where necessary, the Auctioneer will protect the reserve on an item and use his discretion up to 10%. If this price is not reached, the Auctioneer will record the item as unsold and move on to the next item.
THE BUYER
The highest bidder as determined by the Auctioneer is the Buyer. The Auctioneer has absolute discretion to settle any dispute that may arise and to refuse bids or to advance the bidding as seen fit. His decision is final. These terms and conditions also apply to after-sale bids, timed auction bids and private treaty sales. In cases of dispute these Conditions of Sale are governed by UK jurisdiction under English Law. This is the commission paid to the auctioneer by the Buyer over and above the highest bid value (often referred to as the Hammer Price) of each item. OUR BUYER’S PREMIUM IS 25% (Inclusive of VAT and all charges).
ONLINE BIDDING
We offer online bidding services via www.the-saleroom.com.
Payment should be made upon receipt of invoice by bank transfer or if an international bidder a payment link will be sent.
PAYMENT
Please make payment by bank transfer or use the payment link upon receipt of invoice.
Please note, once the Auctioneer has determined yours to be the winning bid, a legal contract is created and you are responsible for and obliged to pay for the item(s). If full payment is not received within two weeks after the auction date Ancient Mariner Auctions reserve the right to hand the bidder’s account over to our debt collection agency. In the event your account is passed for recovery please be advised you will be responsible for all additional costs which will include but not limited to debt recovery costs, legal costs, interest and storage charges. This will affect your bidder status at Ancient Mariner Auctions and any other auction houses as well as internet bidding sites and should the matter proceed through the courts this may affect your credit status. Ancient Mariner Auctions reserve the right to cancel the sale and re-sell the item(s) won and can also proceed against the Buyer for breach of contract. Any deposits or part payments shall be forfeited and the defaulter shall make good any loss arising from the resale, together with the charges and expenses in respect to both sales. So please only bid up to the amount you are prepared to pay and make sure you allow for the Buyer’s Premium and VAT.
