Register with one of our online bidding partners (the-saleroom.com or easyliveauction.com)

If you would like to bid in person (the most exciting way to bid!), you can visit our office at the Skirsgill Saleroom to register your details and obtain a unique bidding number, which you’ll show the auctioneer if you are the successful bidder.

We accept all forms of payment, including debit and credit cards, cash, cheques and bank transfers. Payment in full, cleared funds is required before goods are permitted to be removed from the premises.

How do I sell?

We sell a wide variety of items at auction from good quality modern furniture to fine art and antiques.

The first step is for us to value your items and advise whether and for how much we think we can sell your items for.
