BIDDING STARTS: Friday 25th April 2014 FROM 10 AM
BIDDING CLOSES: Tuesday 29th April 2014 FROM 12 NOON

All lots are sold as seen - it is assumed that all bidders have viewed lots prior. No allowances of any description whatsoever will be made in the event of problems as a result of failure to view - it is our strong advice not to bid on anything at all if you have not viewed to your satisfaction first - our descriptions and photos are insufficient to rely wholly upon for the purposes of bidding

SPECIAL NOTICE re: Nutrients & Supplements. Many of these items have sell by/best before/expiry dates or similar. We cannot check every single item. We have typically inspected 3 items at random per lot, then used the phrase 'typical best before dates of x or x-y'. We use the phrase 'best before' in every instance, regardless of the phrasing on the label. We cannot guarantee that that every item within a lot falls within the date range we mention in the lot description. As with all lots, it is our strong recomendation that they are viewed in person before bidding

Please also note that in some instances, particularly tradestocks, for instance some watches or supplements, the photos may be of an adjacent/representative lot rather than of the lot in question. As ever, viewing in person prior to bidding is essential

Please Note this sale will use `auto bid extension`. If a bid is placed with less than 10 minutes remaining (for that specific lot only) the end time automatically extends by a further 10 minutes. This will keep occurring until there is a 10 minute period with no bids. 

Robson Kay require that you enter credit card details which are used for identification purposes. The address must match that held by your cardholder. Robson Kay reserve the right to refuse any registrant from bidding. Overseas buyers may find it more difficult to pass the identification checks in which case a refundable deposit will be required

PLEASE REMEMBER to register well in advance of the sale. Those who choose to wait until the last minute before registering risk being unable to gain approval in time to bid

IMPORTANT: All bids are legally binding. Do not bid if you cannot pay & collect. 

WE DO NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM ASSIST WITH POSTAGE OR PACKAGING - PLEASE BEAR THIS IN MIND BEFORE BIDDING. We do not supply boxes or packing materials, nor do we deliver. 

RESERVES: All lots have a (normally modest) reserve. Until the bidding passes the reserve, the lot will indicate ‘reserve not met’. We may lower the reserve during the auction.

All lots are subject to VAT except where specifically indicated. A Buyer's Premium of 15% is applied to all lots regardless of whether the lot price itself is exempt from VAT. Buyer's Premium is always subject to VAT

Those wishing to export and potentially claim back the VAT should read our full terms & conditions for further details. Please note the VAT on the buyer`s premium can never be zero rated, even if the lot/s are exported. WE CAN NEVER refund or zero rate the VAT for purchasers using a UK address on bidspotter

Balances must be paid in full by 4.30pm on Thursday 1st May 2014 – if in any doubt as to your ability to comply, do not bid.

Collection on Wednesday 30th April & Thursday 1st May 2014 - DO NOT BID unless you can pay & collect within this timescale

Payment can be made by way of bank transfer, credit/debit card (up to £250 over the phone but for larger amounts, strictly in person at our offices) or cash (subject to money laundering regulations - see full terms) at our offices or into a local Barclays Bank branch.

Please ensure that you read our full terms & conditions for further details

Terms & Conditions

GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS IMPORTANT AUCTION NOTES

 

BUYING IN OUR AUCTIONS IS EASY AND USER FRIENDLY,

BUT YOUR ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THE FOLLOWING:

 

ABUYER`S PREMIUM A Buyer`s Premium is added to the hammer price on all lots. Our Buyer’s Premium is normally 15% but occasionally is different. Please see the notes that apply to this specific sale and in particular the section about Buyer’s Premium to verify the appropriate premium for this specific sale.

 

BVALUE ADDED TAX All lots in this auction are subject to VAT unless marked (NV).

 

Should you intend exporting the goods and believe you may be eligible for the lot price to be zero-rated for VAT purposes, it is crucial that you

•Understand VAT on the Buyer’s Premium can never be zero-rated

•Pay an amount equivalent to the VAT (to be held on your behalf) at the time you make payment for the goods, to be returned pending provision of suitable paperwork

•Inform us at the time of payment that you intend claiming back the VAT, in order that we know to hold same on your behalf

•Provide suitable documentation, including proof of export and your own limited company name, VAT number, etc. within a maximum of 12 weeks of the sale date.

•Acknowledge our £50 administrative fee for dealing with same

*Please note that in accordance with HMRC`s rules on "indirect exports" which any goods purchased in a Robson Kay auction would be classified under in the instance of export, we cannot zero-rate or refund VAT for UK based and/or registered purchasers. For the avoidance of doubt, if your registration address is within the UK, we cannot refund or zero-rate the VAT under any circumstances.

 

CREGISTRATION On the BidSpotter site, there is provision for putting credit card details and an address which relates to same, which is used purely for identification purposes and not for payment.

The “AVS” security checking system most commonly fails either because buyers have put the incorrect address in or, in the instance of foreign buyers, because AVS does not support that particular card.

If foreign buyers have a problem in passing the AVS check, please forward a fully refundable £1,000 deposit into our client account (as detailed below) and then contact our office by way of email – we can then manually approve your registration – enquiries@robsonkay.co.uk

 

Please ensure you register in plenty of time for the auction, as those who leave it until the last day of bidding either to register or to check that their registration has been successful, risk having left it too late to be approved.

 

 

DPAYMENT Your invoice will be emailed within 24 hours of the end of the auction. There is a strict deadline for payment as indicated in the notes which appear on every page of BidSpotter relating to this auction.

 

If this is a sale of goods which are not located at our premises, please bear in mind that if you are paying in person, you will need to visit our premises to pay and then the site where the goods are located to collect.

 

Payment can be made by way of bank transfer (must be CHAPS or Faster Payment, which takes 1 day to process, rather than BACS, which takes 3 days) to the account details on the following page of the catalogue, or alternatively, by credit/debit card (MasterCard, Access, Visa, Maestro, Switch & Delta). Please note that we can take credit/debit card payments over the phone for amounts up to and including £250, however for amounts over £250 the card must be presented by the cardholder in person at our Tilson Road premises – NO EXCEPTIONS. Please further note that we do not have access to the card details provided to BidSpotter during registration. We make no surcharge for payments by credit/debit card.

 

Whilst bank transfer and credit/debit card are our preferred and recommended methods of payment, we are able to accept cash either in person at our offices, or alternatively, paid directly into any Barclays branch using the client account details listed below. We will however need to take copies of full original photo identification (to satisfy money laundering regulations) should you be paying £10,000 or more in cash.

 

Bank transfers must be ‘CHAPS’ or ‘SWIFT’, and must be cleared in our account prior to collection. Please quote your bidder number to assist us.

Purchasers buy lots where they lie and must bring any necessary labour, lifting tackle and equipment in order to remove their lots. Portering staff are NOT available to assist, only to supervise. Forklift trucks and pallet trucks can be used under specific circumstances, as detailed further down in the appropriate section of these terms and conditions, however please bear in mind that if this is a sale away from our site there will be no such provision – our notes relating to this specific auction will make clear whether or not forklift trucks might be available.

 

The purchaser shall comply with any directions with respect to the removal of goods, which may be given by the Auctioneers` staff.

 

FSMOKING No smoking is permitted anywhere upon the premises.

 

GTRANSFER Lots may not be transferred between buyers, and must be paid for by the successful bidder.

 

HDESCRIPTIONS The lots are sold `as they lie` with all faults and errors in description, quantity or measurement (if any). Lots may be new, used, refurbished or not, working or broken, soiled, damaged, incomplete, etc. Boxed goods may not contain any relevant books, manuals, disks, leads, etc, and/or might contain different colours/models/or even different products. We recommend that buyers do not bid unless they have examined lots to their satisfaction prior to doing so - see Clause 9 of our Terms and Conditions - IF IN DOUBT DO NOT BID.

 

Before bidding please bear in mind that all quantities, descriptions, sizes and other information are approximate estimates only. Items lotted up for sale are not always checked/counted/measured by us, and additionally typing (and other) errors sometimes occur. Please note that when describing a number of the lots we have had to rely on counts (or estimates), which we have assumed to be accurate for the purpose of cataloguing, but which may well be incorrect in some cases. Bidders are recommended to check lots for accuracy, make their own assessments, and adjust their bids accordingly. Bidders will be charged for the quantity listed in the catalogue - no allowance will be made for shortages. Lots are sold "as seen" - what you see is what you buy. If you are in any doubt, please do not bid.

 

When selling lots involving quantities of a product, it is possible that there is a variation in colour, style or model between the different items comprising the lot, (which may or may not be pointed out in the catalogue) and buyers are urged to check prior to bidding.

 

What you buy is the item to which Robson Kay & Co Ltd has affixed the yellow lotting up label, regardless of the description in the catalogue. Errors in description may be minor - for example, a fridge being described as a freezer or vice versa – or they may be more major – for example, a fax machine being described as a photocopier. Buyers are urged to check lots prior to bidding to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description and quantity, and if in any doubt whatsoever, are advised not to bid.

 

ISHORTAGES There will be no allowance made for any shortages.

 

JTERMS AND CONDITIONS Prospective purchasers are advised to read thoroughly and ensure they understand our Terms and Conditions. Bidders, by the act of bidding, are accepting our Terms & Conditions of Trading – IF IN DOUBT DO NOT BID.

 

KBEWARE At the fall of the hammer the security of the lot is the purchaser`s responsibility. The Auctioneer will not be responsible if lots are lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed - they are at the sole risk of the purchaser.

 

LLots CANNOT be split. Where a lot consists of more than one item, bids will be considered as being for the whole lot.

 

MVEHICLES – IMPORTANT NOTE Where we have paperwork in connection to the vehicles (e.g., log book, MOT, service history, etc.) copies have been affixed inside the window of each relevant vehicle, for your inspection. As with all lots in the catalogue, it is imperative that bidders check this information, to their satisfaction, prior to bidding. Bidders should not rely solely on the information within the catalogue as an indication to anything whatsoever in relation to the vehicles. If in doubt, do not bid.

3)FORKLIFT TRUCKS - subject to availability - one of our staff will assist collectors by moving/loading goods with a forklift truck, providing the collector signs an appropriate "waiver" form.

General Terms and Conditions of Sale

 

1.Agency

The Auctioneers act as agents only and they disclaim responsibility for default by either buyer or seller. The Auctioneers do not guarantee the title of any lot or lots sold by them, and will not be responsible for any defect in such title.

 

2.The Buyer

The highest bidder acknowledged as such by the Auctioneers will be the buyer. If any dispute arises, the Auctioneers shall have absolute discretion to settle the matter. The Auctioneers shall rule the bidding, and no bid shall be retracted. The Auctioneers reserve the right to refuse any bid. The Auctioneers reserve the right to bid on behalf of the vendor for any lot (either with a reserve or subject to the Auctioneers` discretion), and to withdraw, consolidate or divide any lot or lots.

 

3.Ownership of Purchases

The ownership of the lot(s) purchased will not pass to the buyer until the buyer has paid the Auctioneers in full the total amount due, and the Auctioneers have applied such payment to the lot. No lots may be removed until the total account for all the lots purchased has been paid in full.

 

4.Transfer of Risk

Notwithstanding the fact that ownership does not pass until the lots are paid for, each lot shall be held uninsured at the purchaser`s sole risk from the fall of the hammer, and shall be sold with all faults and imperfections, the Auctioneers not being responsible for the correct description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and making no warranty whatsoever. The purchaser is deemed to have inspected the lots and satisfied himself as to their condition. No responsibility is accepted for any loss of (or damage to) lots.

 

5.Collection

Collections (which can only be made after ALL the lots purchased have been paid for in full) can be made at the times stated in the auction catalogue only.

 

Purchasers buy lots where they lie and must bring any necessary labour, lifting tackle and equipment in order to remove their lot(s). Where lots are fixed or connected in any way, the purchaser must have the removal/disconnection carried out by suitably qualified/experienced personnel (with appropriate insurance cover). The purchaser is responsible for leaving the site safe and for any damage to the premises and/or other lot(s).

 

It is the responsibility of the buyer and/or their carrier/driver to ensure that their loads do not contravene road, traffic or any other regulations.

 

Lots not collected within the timescale stated in the catalogue will become subject to a storage charge of £5 per lot, per day (plus VAT), or 5% of the hammer price (whichever is the higher). Late collections can only take place STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT (to fit in with our schedule), and such appointments may involve delays until we can accommodate said late collection, which will increase the storage charges due by late collectors pro rata.

 

If a purchaser fails to comply with any of these "General Terms and Conditions of Sale", and/or any special (or additional) Terms and Conditions relevant to the sale in question, and/or does not collect within the timescale stated in the catalogue, the Auctioneers reserve the right to resell any such lot(s) by public or private sale without reserve and without notice to the purchaser. If upon resale as foresaid a lower price is obtained for any lot than was obtained at the first sale, then any such shortfall will be a debt due from the purchaser in default in the first sale. Irrespective of the price the Auctioneers receive on resale, the buyer will be responsible for any and/all additional costs of the Auctioneers including storage at either £5.00 per lot per day, or 5% of the hammer price per lot per day (whichever is the higher), advertising, handling, selling costs, insurance etc. Furthermore, the Auctioneers reserve the ALTERNATIVE right to move lots outside the premises (at the buyer’s risk), if said lot/s are (in the Auctioneers’ opinion) restricting the use of the auction room.

 

6.Movement of Lots

The Auctioneers reserve the absolute right to move any lots which (in their sole opinion) are restricting the use of the auction premises and/or inhibiting collectors and/or need to be moved to assist in other activities taking place on the premises. Movement of assets in such circumstances is entirely at the purchaser’s risk, and the Auctioneers accept no responsibility or liability for any loss or damage such as may be incurred during any such movement.

 

7.Whether acting as agent on behalf of a named principal or acting as principal themselves, all bidders will be deemed to have the authority for each bid made and will be held equally liable with their principal (where relevant) for all obligations and liabilities in relation to the sale.

 

Users of the online bidding facility should ensure prior to registering that they have the authority to bind whatever entity they register as, to the conditions of sale, that they are 18 years or over and that they keep their user ID and password safe and private from any person other than those they are happy have equal authority to bid.

 

8.Damage

If any damage is done to any lot or to the premises at the viewing or before, during or after a sale, such damage shall be made good by the person committing such damage, principals being responsible for the actions of their servants, subcontractors and/or any other persons in the premises on their behalf, such damage to be assessed by the Auctioneers. No cutting or welding equipment may be used without the Auctioneers` express permission, in writing. No explosives may be used without the Auctioneers` express permission in writing.

 

9.Descriptions

The lots are sold as they lie with all faults and errors of description or quantity or measurement (if any). The purchaser is deemed to have inspected and approved the lots he buys, and if he buys without proper previous inspection, he shall be deemed to have done so at his own risk. No guarantee is expressed or implied either by the vendor or the Auctioneers in the lots as to performance, output, reliability, service, suitability for purpose, quantity, size or any other matter. No person within the Auctioneers` employment has any authority to make or imply any representations, warranties or guarantees.

 

It is believed that the quantities, descriptions and measurements stated in the catalogue are correct, but the Auctioneers will not be responsible for any error or mistake therein, and no purchaser shall make any objection thereto, or be entitled to any compensation by reason of such error or mistake. Many of the goods catalogued are described by make, type, size, output, etc. It should not however, be taken for granted that they are in their original manufactured condition, complete with all component parts, and in working order, nor should it be taken for granted that vehicles, trailers and mechanical equipment can be put into working order, or that vehicles and trailers are, or can be roadworthy. Goods which appear to be in their original wrapping and unused may have incurred many years of shelf life. Lots may be new, used, soiled, damaged, broken or incomplete. In view of their age or condition some goods may not comply with current safety legislation. Prospective purchasers are reminded that it would be an offence under the Consumer Protection Act 1961 and the Consumer Safety Act 1978 for them to sell or supply goods which do not comply with the current regulations made under either of those Acts. Prospective purchasers are also reminded that sales by auction are not consumer sales for the purpose of the Unfair Contract Terms Acts, 1977.

 

WE RECOMMEND THAT PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS SHOULD THEREFORE THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE GOODS IN WHICH THEY ARE INTERESTED BEFORE BIDDING.

 

The lots are not sold by sample but if in any case a sample shall be displayed it shall be upon the understanding that this contract shall contain no implied condition or warranty as to the quality or otherwise or that the lots are free from any defect rendering them unmerchantable.

 

Mileages stated for vehicles are mileometer readings. The vendor does not necessarily know whether the mileometer reading is accurate and shows the correct reading of the mileage of the vehicle. The purchaser should therefore, treat the mileometer reading as meaningless. Year of manufacture. - a civilian vehicle registration does not necessarily indicate the date of manufacture of the vehicle, for example a government vehicle (if it is a government vehicle) may be operated over the earlier or any part of its working life under a service registration number.

 

10.Third Party Liability

Auction sites are potentially dangerous. Flammable, noxious, corrosive and pressurised substances are present, heavy equipment is being operated, forklift trucks are in use, and electrical circuits may be live. Every person on the Auctioneers` premises at any time should be deemed to be there at his own risk, and with Notice of the Condition of the premises and the method of arranging the lots, etc. He/she shall have no claim against the Auctioneers in respect of any injury he/she may sustain or any accident which may occur, prior to, during or after the sale, or at any other time on the Auctioneers` premises.

 

Visitors to the premises will indemnify the vendor and the Auctioneers against all suits, claims, demands and actions whatsoever which the vendor may suffer in connection with that item.

 

Neither the vendor nor the Auctioneers recommend any other organisation or represent the competence of any other organisation`s representatives or advertising literature which is at or about the Auction Premises by reason of the fact that the vendor or Auctioneers have allowed such representation or literature to be available or distributed at the Auction Premises.

 

11.Additional Items

Anything which may be found in, under or near any lot which is not mentioned in the sale catalogue, the Auctioneers reserve for the vendors. Any pallets, trolleys, tables, racks or display units used to display lots are excluded from the sale and may not be removed from the premises.

 

12.Provisional Bids / Reserves

Where the vendor has placed a reserve price upon a lot which is not reached when the lot is offered, then the Auctioneers will inform the vendor of the highest bid made, and in the event that the highest bid or a later bid is acceptable by the vendor, then the highest bidder will become the buyer of the lot, and be bound by the Conditions of Sale. The Auctioneers retain the right to place a reserve on any lot (on the vendor’s behalf) at any time up to the fall of the hammer.

 

13.After Sales

Lots sold after the sale will be subject to all Conditions of Sale, applicable if the lots had been sold during the auction.

 

14.Health and Safety Regulations

The Auctioneers and the vendor accept no responsibility whatsoever for any lot or lots sold which subsequently prove to contravene the Health and Safety Regulations in force at the time of the sale.

 

To comply with section 6 (8) of the Health and Safety at Work 1974, purchasers undertake to comply with the guarding requirements under regulation 15 - Sale or Hire of Machinery.

 

15.Time

In respect of any and all of our Terms and Conditions and notes, time is of the essence - no exceptions will be made.

 

16.Software

All systems or media items sold in the sale are sold without software of any kind unless such software is specifically nominated within the description of the system or media item.

 

The buyer shall remove immediately upon purchase of any hard disk or system containing a hard disk or any other media, all programs including any operating systems to which the purchase of the said hard disk system or other media does not convey to him/her licence to use such programs or operating systems.

 

17.Indemnity

The buyer shall indemnify the Auctioneers and the vendor in any actions resulting from the buyer`s failure to observe Clause 18 above.

 

18.NO TRANSFER OF LOTS BY THE BUYER SHALL BE ALLOWED.

 

19.Important Notice

Where any lot or lots sold are found to be subject to hire purchase or leasing agreement, the Auctioneers reserve the right to discharge the existing liability to the finance company concerned remitting the balance, if any, to the vendor on receipt of a clearance note from the finance company.

 

26.Rescission By Vendor
