Buyers Guide

Love what you buy! Here's where you'll find all the tips you need to join our other Scammellists.

Scammells is a paradise for collectors, and anyone looking for a unique, timeless, or rare piece.

And all of our Auctions are online, in a safe, convenient and easy to use environment.  Our online auctions make searching, finding, and securing your perfect item easy and hassle-free. The Scammells Website has been designed with buyers in mind, enabling you to search for items, create alerts, watch catalogued items, leave absentee bids, and most importantly, bid online. All this, from anywhere in the world.

You can also attend any of our “live” Auctions in person, and we look forward to seeing you in our crowd of eager Scammellists.

Auction Terms and Conditions

 

We love what we do, and as such, you won’t get better auction service anywhere in Adelaide. As with most things though, there are rules and guidelines to auctions. By law, we are required to work within these rules, which then helps to ensure a better experience for you. We recommend having a read through our terms and conditions which include information on buyers premium, packaging and shipping, and transport and storage.
