How to bid at Timed Auctions

A Timed Auction is online only and without an Auctioneer. 

Once the time is within 60 seconds of the closing time a counter starts, any bids recieved within that time, the timer will restart for another 60 seconds until the bidding stops and the lt closes. 

The highest bidder is recorded when the auction closes and is the winner of this lot.

Please note to check back in at anytime during the auction to see if you have been outbid

    • We have carriers available to delivery larger purchases at your organisation (click for details).

    • Small (non breakable) items can be packed and posted for a small fee (see bottom of page for details).

    • Country (+200km) and interstate buyers to arrange collection, please contact our Transport department (click to email).

    • All items we sell are to be expected to have some wear, use or ageing due to the nature of auction house goods. If a lot is marked a/f it informs the buyer it is sold with “all faults” and that our staff have noted damage that exceeds general wear and tear of vintage & antique goods (eg, damage to individual lots, broken chair legs, torn upholstery etc)

    • Electricals are not tested, nor are they sold as working.  The onus falls on the buyer to assure themselves of the quality and condition of each lot.

    • All measurements provided with items are approximate only.

    • Our buyers are encouraged to view our items in person during inspection hours so they feel confident with the quality and condition of the pieces they wish to buy. If you are unable to make it in, send friends or family on your behalf, or email/call the office to receive a condition report.

    • All descriptions in the catalogue are a guide only. Intending buyers are encouraged to inspect lots during viewing or contact us for a condition report and satisfy themselves as to the condition of any lot.

Please remember this is an auction house, and your items are not purchased with any sort of guarantee as to condition.

 

REFUND POLICY

Auction Rooms of the past (and still with many of our peers today) offer no refunds to Buyers, quoting “caveat emptor” or let the buyer beware.

This offers Buyers at auction very little confidence, especially if you are not in the same state!

According to the ACCC on Consumer Guarantees – Rights to a repair, replacement, refund, cancellation or compensation do not apply to items: bought at auction where the auctioneer acted as an agent for the owner (but you do have rights to full title, undisturbed possession and no unknown debts or extra charges) https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees/consumer-guarantees.

It’s different at Scammells.

One of our Core Values is Courage | Honesty | Integrity, and in line with this we offer our Buyers a refund based on criteria being met.  We do this to offer you some confidence in buying from Scammells.

A refund is offered unless – 

  • The item/items are part of a group# lot
  • The item has been marked A/F (all faults – see our All Faults Policy)
  • The item has wear and tear consistent with condition, age and/or usage
  • The item is electrical or mechanical
  • The item has been removed from the building (for local buyers only)
  • The lot/item is part of a Wine/Spirits Auction

# (Group can be referred to as “Assorted”, “Group”, “Mixed”, Sundry” and/or “Quantity” in the catalogue description)

(Item refers to a lot or part of a lot)

Time is of the essence, and a refund is only offered within 48 hours of the time of the auction commencement for local buyers (within 200km of Adelaide), and 7 days for buyers intra/interstate or receiving items by pack n post service. Refunds are in full only (no partial refunds offered).

 

ALL FAULTS or A/F

Some items in our catalogue are marked A/F, which means “sold with all faults”.

Technically ALL items at Auction are A/F, as they are all secondhand or antique.  

To help buyers our Team make assessments as to what is “normal for age, condition and usage”, and what is damaged or in poor condition, and hence A/F.

Where an item is marked A/F, the onus is on the Buyer to request a condition report for more information on the damage.

We do not check electrical or mechanical items. 

Group lots are not assessed as A/F as it is accepted that anything undamaged and of value would be extracted for individual lotting.

No refunds are offered on items marked as A/F, and final determination is made by our expert Team.

According to the ACCC on Consumer Guarantees – Rights to a repair, replacement, refund, cancellation or compensation do not apply to items: bought at auction where the auctioneer acted as an agent for the owner (but you do have rights to full title, undisturbed possession and no unknown debts or extra charges) https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/consumer-rights-guarantees/consumer-guarantees

 

Examples of A/F (and not)
An outdoor chair is expected to have been aged by the weather, rusted if metal and the finish in average condition – this is not A/F, just normal for its condition and usage.

A cedar dining chair that has had the backrest broken and glued, is A/F.

A teapot of 100 years old with tea stains and crazing is not A/F, as this is considered normal for its age and usage.

A teapot of 100 years old with a broken and repaired spout is A/F.

 

DIFFERENT AUCTION STYLES

Live (Traditional)

The Live Auctions are our traditional offering, with a difference. When the catalogue is launched the Auction is live, buyers can place bids online and the auction program starts the pre-bidding auction.

For example if you leave a bid of $100, the starting price might be $20 – the system shows your winning bid at $20. Another buyer places a bid for $35, the system bids on your behalf up to $40 (the next bid above $35 – and you are still the winning bidder). If another buyer places a bid at $150, the system bids up to $110, and you are now the losing bidder.

The pre-bidding is open until the moment before the lot is offered for sale by our Auctioneer. This is the traditional or Live part of the the auction, where the Auctioneer opens bidding at the “pre-bidding” amount ($110 in the above example) and calls for further bids from the live and the online buyers.

Live Online Only (LOLO)

Our Live Online Auctions are the same as our Live or Traditional Auctions, except all buyers are Online Only (there is no live buyers in front of the Auctioneer), its just you, your computer (ipad, tablet or smart phone) and the Auctioneer on their laptop.

Timed

Our timed online auctions run differently to normal auctions. Whilst the fundamentals of bidding online, paying, buying premium are the same, the way the auction is conducted is different.

The “timed auction” is run by the computer and online only. Each lot is offered initially in order of lot number. The lots are open for pre-bidding at the start of the auction (typically 7 – 14 days prior to the final knock down).

During the “final knockdown” stage (the time when the Auction is to end), each lot is offered in order, when a bid is placed a timer is reset for x minutes (currently this is set at 1 minute). Then every time a new bid is placed the timer resets. This stops “sniping”, something common and very annoying with other major auction systems.

Once the timer on the lot reaches zero seconds, the lot is closed and sold to the final bidder at the displayed price (plus buyers premium).

The auction program constantly updates the order of the sale based on “time left”, so you might see the lots numbers out of order during the “final knock-down stage”.

BIDS – please note you can increase your “pre-bidding” bid at anytime, but cannot reduce or cancel the bid.

 

YOUR BIDDERS NUMBER

Your bidders number is the number we use to record your successful bid(s) and price against a lot.  An online (permanent) number is issued through our website when you register for ONLINE BIDDING, and this number is yours for life.

 

BIDDING ONLINE

Bidding online is simple and makes the auction room accessible for everyone.

Online registration gives you access to the online bidding room, allows you leave absentee bids, create watch lists and
assigns you a permanent number, yours for life. There is no need to register again, even if you attend one of our auctions in person.  The same registration gives you access to our free smart phone and tablet app (search Google Play Store and Apple App Store for Scammells).

Registration is free, and you only need a valid credit card. The card is used for verification only and you are not billed for your purchases.  Your credit card will be verified with a charge of $1, which is then returned instantly.  This protects you, us and our buyers from fraudulent bidders.

We do not have access to your credit card details, nor do we retain this information.  Auction Mobility uses secure third party merchant Stripe to manage this information.

To register for online bidding, click here and follow the login prompt to create an account.

Check our website regularly for catalogues as we are now running online auctions regularly throughout the month on top of our weekly estate auctions and speciality auctions.

All bids left online are LIVE and FINAL.

 

BIDDING INCREMENTS

Once the auction commences, the auctioneer will announce the lot number and description of each lot.  The auction takes bids in order of a bidding progression.  Typically this is fixed and based on the value of the item for auction.

For example:

$5 rises to $50
(ie 25, 30, 35, 40 45.)

$10 rises between $50 and $200
(ie 60, 70, 80, 90, 100)

$20 rises from $200 to $500
(ie 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 400)

$50 rises from $500 to $1000
(ie 650, 700, 750, 800, 850… )

If an item is “knocked down” or sold to you, the auctioneer will announce your number and the sale price.

 

ABSENTEE BIDS

Absentee bids can be placed using our online bidding system.  You will need to create an account first (see link above).  The system is simple to use, and updates you live if you have been outbid.  After the sale you can log back in and see if you have been successful.

Your absentee bid cannot be seen by other buyers, just the amount the lot is currently at.  The bidding will start at the minimum bid amount for each lot and only increases when other bids are lodged for the same lot.

Please note the absentee bidding system is LIVE, which means all bids are locked in once placed and cannot be deleted or reduced.

 

PACKING & POSTAGE

Our packing department can arrange packing & postage of smaller, non breakable, purchased items to be sent Australia wide, using Australia Post delivery.  We can also pack your items for your preferred chosen courier.

For international buyers & for breakable items, we advise you use Pack and Send
