UPA103 Auction Schedule:
3rd September (approx) : Catalogue Available
6th October (5pm) : Bidding Closes
7th October (5pm) : Live Bidding for lots estimated at £1,000 GBP+ via Easy Live Auction. To participate, please register at Easy Live Auction by 2pm on 7th October. Please note, we will try to approve registration requests placed after this time but we cannot guarantee this.
9th October (2pm onwards) : Results/Invoices will be issued to all bidders, regardless of success.
9th October (6pm) : Unsold Lots will be available to purchase. Please note, although you can request and pay for unsold lots straight away, please be aware that we are unlikely to commence shipping Late Sales orders until Monday 19th October at the earliest. Our procedures are such that auction bidders who provide payment details before the closing date are processed first in bidder number order; we then start shipping goods for those auction bidders who send payment in response to their invoice. Late Sales orders are processed and shipped after completion of the above. We regret we cannot make exceptions in order to expedite shipping Late Sales orders as we believe this would be unfair to auction bidders.
12th October : Shipping Commences. As noted above, bidders who provided payment details before the closing date are processed first.
2nd November (10am) : Late Sales Closes. Any remaining unsold lots will be reoffered with a reduced estimate in auction UPA104 in January 2027.
