Before attending an auction, it’s important to know what to expect. There is a Buyer’s Premium on every item, as well as any taxes applicable in the place of sale. This fee is added to the hammer price after the bidding ends. The exact amount is specified in the auction information and Terms and Conditions. There may also be other fees or charges depending on the circumstances. It’s also important to know when to bid and how to prepare for the auction.
The Toys for the Collector auctions held by Special Auction Services have a great selection of vintage and Hornby trains. The auctions are also known for the “Trains Galore” auction held in December, which was held at Christie’s for 20 years. There are also lots of other fun items to look at and buy at these auctions.
Christie’s has teamed up with interior designer Peter Copping to create a unique exhibition that features items from The Collector auctions. Copping has experience working with designers like Oscar de la Renta, Nina Ricci, and Christian Lacroix. He has also recently launched his own line, La Carliere, and has designed and curated six styled rooms for the sale.
When attending a car auction, it’s important to do your research. The best auctions will publish a lot of information on the vehicles for sale. This means that you can learn about the cars’ actual ownership experiences, including how easy they are to care for and their reliability.
