Buying
Bids may only be placed by members of the Fire Mark Circle.
The prices shown are an estimate of the value of the mark and it follows that the amount realised may vary from this according to market interest or other relevant factors.
Some lots have reserve prices set by the vendor.
Wright (W) or Bulau (B) reference numbers are quoted where possible.
To place a bid or bids, members should email auctions@firemarkcircle.co.uk A reply will be sent to acknowledge receipt.
There is no buyers premium.
Bids will be applied in order of receipt. In the event of a dispute the Chairman's decision will be final.
The minimum bid amount is £10. Once a lot has received an opening bid, further bids will be applied in bid steps of £5 where the price is £100
or lower, £10 between £100 and £200, with £20 increments above £200.
If there is only a single bid on an item, the lot will be sold for the minimum bid, subject to any reserve having been met. If there are two or
more bids, they will be applied in order of receipt using bid steps until the bidder’s maximum bid has been reached. The highest or winning bid will therefore
be one bid step above the highest bid of the underbidder, subject to any reserve having been met. In the case of equal bids, the one received first will have
precedence.
The auction will close at the time and date shown on the main auction page. The only exception to this is in the event that should a meeting of the Circle be taking place within 7 days of the online close, members attending such meeting may be offered a 'final bid' opportunity at that meeting. Members will be advised if this is to be the case and full bidding details given on the main auction page.
The winning bidders will be notified either by email, telephone or post within a few days of the end of the auction.
Results of the auction will be emailed to members and available on this website in due course.
Marks will be sent by 1st class insured, Signed For or Special Delivery. The winners will be notified of the total cost and BACS details provided. Cheques should be made payable to the Fire Mark Circle.
Overseas Bidders: Due to previous difficulties in sending lead marks to non-UK members. Bidders must contact the Auction Coordinator to clarify how extra costs, imposed by customs and excise departments, will be met and/or outline collection arrangements. Only once the Auction Coordinator has agreed to such will bidding be permitted.
