Please bear in mind that your maximum bid on the sheet does not include the appropriate buyer’s premium.

3)       Internet Bidding – Bids by email, can be accepted through our website – www.wellingtonauctions.com, they must include your regular postal address at the time of bidding, so as to allow us to include the correct postal costs on any relevant invoices.
