All unsold lots are now available for outright purchase at reserve prices. Simply 'bid' for them in the normal way and lots will automatically be entered at reserve.
Reasonable offers below reserve will be considered. Please submit offers by email as they cannot be entered via the website.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
(1) Reserves and Estimates are in South African Rand.
(2) Approximate rates of exchange as of 04/08/24: £1 = R23: €1 = R20; $1 = R18.
(3) All lots are subject to 10% Buyers Premium, added at invoice stage. All bids submitted are deemed exclusive of Buyers Premium.
(4) Due to the collapse of the South African Post Office, all lots for overseas buyers that do not warrant the expense of courier, are packed separately and sent all together in one larger parcel via courier to our agent in the UK, who then forwards each package via Royal Mail. A little extra patience is required in such cases.
(5) Weights for most larger lots form part of the descriptions and include albums etc. Larger lots can only be delivered by air courier and shipping may be prohibitive. We make every effort to reduce the weight, but overseas buyers should bear this in mind when bidding. When in doubt, please enquire about approximate shipping costs.
