In particular, descriptions made verbally or in this catalogue are not guaranteed, including sizes of harness and vehicles. VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS Lots will be on view from 8.00am on the day of the sale. The majority of horse-drawn vehicles should be in the market prior to sale day, but most vendors bring smaller items early on the morning of the auction. Tuesday is not officially a viewing day but prospective purchasers are welcome to inspect vehicles, although we cannot guarantee the time of their arrival. WITHDRAWN OR NOT FORWARD LOTS Despite our best endeavours to ensure that all lots catalogued come forward for sale we are at the mercy of individual vendors some of whom regrettably do not always send the lots entered. This inevitably causes frustration and annoyance to prospective customers who may have travelled long distances for a particular lot. To avoid such disappointment we recommend that you make a phone call to check the availability for any particular one off lot before setting out. BUYERS NUMBERS All prospective purchasers are requested to register with the Auctioneers prior to the sale when they will be given a Buyer s Number to enable bidding and assist the cashiering arrangements. The Auctioneers reserve the right to request a deposit of 500 from customers not known to them upon registration.

CLEARANCE All lots should be cleared on the day of sale, unless alternative arrangements are made, and are at the risk of the purchaser from the fall of the hammer. INSTRUCTIONS TO BID will be executed with care and judgment by the Auctioneers. Clients who are interested in lots which are due to be offered in more than one section of the sale at the same time are reminded of this free service. PRIVATE SALES All lots are accepted on the understanding that they must not be sold prior to being auctioned, and any private transactions resulting from the exposure for sale of any items must be conducted through the Auctioneers. INSURANCE Carriage House Insurance Services and the National Farmers Union can effect transit and longer term insurances, which have been devised for carriage owners and drivers. EXPORT PURCHASERS should ensure in advance that the country of destination has no import restrictions on the goods they wish to purchase, as our normal terms of business apply and payment in full is due on the day of sale. VAT will be charged in the normal way and refunded on proof of exportation. In addition, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to comply with export regulations and to obtain any relevant export licence, which is issued by the Arts Council England.
