2.2 Historics Auctioneers limited Online sales is an online sales platform that allows a seller to list an item for sale, primarily by auction, for the purposes of allowing interested buyers to purchase that item. In the event of a successful bid during the timed auction a contract will be entered into directly between the seller and the buyer. If the item is listed as “Buy it Now” the contract will be entered into when the seller accepts the buyer’s offer to purchase the item. We will charge a fee to the seller and buyer of the item.

2.3 We do not sell items; we only provide a sales platform service for buyers and sellers to transact between themselves and to assist in the facilitation of that process.

2.4 You can contact our online specialists by calling 01753 639 170 or emailing sw@historics.co.uk.

You should be aware that your 14-day right to cancel this contract with us (see clause 10 of these terms) will immediately cease upon you either listing an item for sale or you buy or bidding on an item. You will therefore remain liable to pay to us any fees to us which arise from your use of the sales platform, even if the obligation to pay such a fee arises during this 14-day period.

3.6 For an account that enables you to buy or sell via our sales platform we will need your email address, full name and postal address, and telephone number. We will also ask for your payment card details; this enables us to confirm your identity. When you bid, you are agreeing to pay our buyers fee if you are the winning bidder. When you list an item for sale you are agreeing to pay the fees we would have collected from the buyer and seller should you withdraw your item from sale before the end of the auction or if you fail to complete the transaction (for a seller’s liability to pay fees, please refer to clause 6 of these terms).

Buying (buyer’s obligations)
8.1 You must be registered with us, including providing a valid payment card before you can buy or bid for any item listed on the sales platform. If your payment card becomes invalid you will be prompted to replace it with a valid payment card, you will be unable to bid further on any item if a valid payment card is not available on your account.

8.2 Whilst the seller will provide photographs of the item in their listing and we carry out a number of checks on the item to confirm ownership and condition, it is your responsibility as the buyer to satisfy yourself that any description applied to the item is accurate. We will have completed a finance check and any outstanding finance will be displayed in the listing it will be your responsibility to ensure that the finance is repaid as part of the final transaction. We encourage all sellers to make their items available to view in person.

8.3 When a buyer places a bid to purchase an item on our sales platform you are making an irrevocable offer to purchase the item at that price. In the event you are the successful bidder at the end of the auction, you will be legally obliged to complete the purchase of the item at the price of your winning bid. You cannot revoke or withdraw that bid once it has been made. All offers and bids made are done so at your own risk. You must make sure you have sufficient funds available before you place a bid.

8.4 We will have the right to remove any offer or bid made by you in circumstances where:

(a) it is obvious and apparent that the offer or bid made is a mistake (if you have made an error when entering a bid amount you must contact us immediately at sw@historics.co.uk);

(b) the payment card registered is no longer valid;

(c) we believe you or someone you know is attempting to “bid the price up”;

(d) any seller or proposed buyer is acting in breach of this contract; and

(e) any information comes into our possession that questions our approval of your account.

8.5 Once an auction has completed, we will inform you of your winning bid and confirm the buying fees owed. If you have failed to pay the amount due within 24 hours, we will contact you and request payment via bank transfer within 7 days of the invoice date. When we have successfully collected your payment, we will send you the seller’s details and the seller will be sent yours (name, email address and telephone number). It is then your responsibility to contact the seller to arrange to complete the transaction within 7 days of payment.

8.6 If you fail to complete the purchase of the item, we will not refund your buyer’s fee.

8.7 You must not attempt to purchase an item outside of the sales platform. This applies to any sale completed between a buyer and a seller where the item is listed on our sales platform. We will charge the fee we would have otherwise received from the buyer and seller in accordance with these terms.

8.8 If you reasonably suspect or discover that a trader is using the sales platform to sell items by masquerading or representing themselves as a private seller, you should let us know as soon as possible by contacting our online team on 01753 639170 or emailing sw@historics.co.uk.

Appendix 1 – Auction Rules

Bidding will progress in increments once the reserve is met. If no reserve, bidding will start at the lowest increment of £25:
£25 increments from £25 up to £2,000

£100 increments from £2,001 up to £10,000

£250 increments from £10,001 to £50,000

£500 increments above £50,001

Bidding rules

Bids must be multiples of the bid increment, for example if the bidding opens at £100 the

next bid is £200.

Bids must be in multiples of whole increments,

Multiples of £100 up to £10,000

Multiples of £250 between £10,250 and £50,000

Multiples of £500 above £50,000

If a bid is placed of a partial increment the bid will be rounded down to the nearest whole

increment i.e. a bid is entered for £250 will be reduced to £200.

Maximum bids

Submitting a maximum bid enables the system to place bids on behalf of the bidder when

someone else places a bid against the same item. If the maximum bid is placed above the

reserve it will automatically place a bid at the reserve price.

A Maximum bid will ensure the absent bidder leads the bidding until another bidder places a

bid higher than their Maximum bid value.

If two bidders place a bid of equal value, the bid received first by the system will be the

leading bid.
