Phoenix Auctions - Saturday 4th October 2014
The Klinckenberger Clearance Auction will commence no earlier than 3:30pm We believe our estimates for this section already offer good value, however if you feel that 50% or 20% of estimate is the right level then go ahead and bid at that level. Your bid will be accepted and if no higher bid is received your bid will be successful. The only slight change to our normal bidding steps is that bids below 75% of the estimate will be taken at that bid even if there is no under-bidder. Above 75% of the estimate normal bidding steps will be used and the lot will be sold one bidding step above the 2nd highest bidder, exactly as normal.
