TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT 

 

  1. As Brown & Turner are auctioneers, they act at all times in the sale of goods as agents of the Seller of the Lots entered for auction only, and are not responsible for any default by either the Buyer or Seller.
    As Brown & Turner act as agents only, title to the goods at no time passes to them and accordingly they are not liable for any fault in connection with the goods. The Seller shall indemnify Brown & Turner against any claims in connection with any goods sold by Brown & Turner on their behalf.
  2. By delivering or entering goods to Brown & Turner for inclusion in their auction sales the Seller agrees to abide by these Terms of Consignment and the General Conditions of Sale.
  3. All goods delivered to Brown & Turner’s premises are left at the Seller’s own risk. Brown & Turner disclaim all responsibility for loss or damage to goods or for unauthorised removal of goods unless caused by negligence of their employees.
  4.  
    1. All goods are put for sale WITHOUT RESERVE unless written instructions as to reserves are received by Brown & Turner prior to commencement of sale.
      Reserves given by telephone are accepted at sender’s risk and must be confirmed in writing forthwith.
    2. In the event of any reserve price not being reached at auction, Brown & Turner are empowered to sell after auction, by private treaty, at not less than the reserve price, as long as the goods remain on the Sale Premises. In the event of such a sale by private treaty the Conditions of Sale applicable to the Auction Sale will apply.
    3. The Auctioneers may sell lots below the reserve provided they account to you for the same proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. However, if you specifically give the Auctioneers a ‘discretion’ they may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.
  5. Sellers who consign for sale by auction, any chattel(s) which is an asset of their business must disclose to the Auctioneers whether or not they are registered for VAT purposes and, if so, their registered number and whether or not they intend to operate the special scheme covering works of art etc. This information must be supplied to the Auctioneers on or prior to delivery of the goods.
  6. A commission rate of 18% of realization value of any lots will be charged to the Seller subject to a minimum applicable of £4.50 per lot. The fee for withdrawing a lot prior to the sale is 18% of the reserve (or Brown & Turner’s estimated value if no reserve has been arranged).
    No commission will be charged on unsold lots where a reserve price has been accepted by the Auctioneers as being realistic.
  7. All Sellers agree to assist the Auctioneers with accurate information as to provenance etc of goods where relevant. Under modern consumer legislation there is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions and in some circumstances responsibility lies with the Sellers if inaccuracies occur. The Auctioneers will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary.
    The Seller warrants to Brown & Turner and to the Buyer that he/she is the true owner of the property or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
  8. If an item is unsold it may, with the Seller’s consent be re-offered at a future sale. If, in the Auctioneers opinion an item is unsaleable the Seller must collect such items from the saleroom within 7 days of being informed otherwise storage charges will be incurred.
  9. Items for sale must be consigned to the saleroom by any stated deadline and entirely at the Seller’s expense. The Auctioneers may be able to assist with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely the responsibility of the Seller.
  10. Following the sale, payment of the net sum due to the Seller will be made within 28 days of the sale.
    The Seller also authorises any sums owed by them to Brown & Turner for any other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds.
  11. Insurance of Goods.
    1. All goods on our premises or under our control are insured against all risks while so placed and Seller’s are charged at the rate of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT (subject to a minimum charge of £1.50) or, if unsold, our lower estimate of the hammer price.
    2. If the owner of the goods consigned instructs us in writing not to insure them, they then remain at owner’s risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected back by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 11(a) is inapplicable.
    3. All Lots entered in Sales with Internet Advertising will incur a charge.
