*** Condition Reports ***
Our catalogue descriptions do not include any information on the condition of the lot and it is up to the purchaser to satisfy themselves as to the condition before bidding. Upon request by email we can give full condition reports on any lot. Any condition report provided is the opinion and Wessex Auction Rooms accept no liability if a purchaser disagrees with a given report after the auction has taken place. All lots are available to view in person.
All grading of vinyl records is subjective and therefore you must satisfy yourself before bidding. The auctioneer will not enter into post-sale disputes based on gradings. If grading for a Lot states "overall" that means that some will be better, some will be worse. Gradings are purely visual.
Wessex Auction Rooms do not authenticate any autographs or offer any certificate of authenticity (COA). Any item sold with a COA will be that which has been supplied by the vendor. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to satisfy themselves as to the provenance and authenticity before bidding on any lot. Under no circumstances will refunds be given based on authenticity claims.
*** Payment ***
ALL payments from outside of the UK regardless of amount, must be paid in full via bank transfer or via the 3D Secure link on your invoice.
We are still accepting cash payments. Payment can also be made in person at our offices with debit card or credit card. Where the customer is not present payment can be made by debit or credit card up to a limit of £500 (UK only). Above this all payments must be made by bank transfer or via the 3D secure link on your emailed invoice. American Express (AMEX) is not accepted.
