How do I Buy & Sell?

It is free to register and to get a paddle number, have a commision bid or telephone bid, you will pay a further 19% + VAT ontop of the hammer price when you win (total of 23%).

To bid online easylive charge a one off £3 fee or 3.8% of your sales, this is in addition to the 19% + VAT commission applied to the hammer prices.

At the end of the auction you will be sent an invoice by email. Payments can be made by bank transfer, or by credit/ debit card or cash at the reception counter. Please be aware we do not take payments over the phone. Payments are to be made by 2pm Thursdays following the sale to avoid an automatic increase in commission to 28%.

We are open from 10am on Tuesdays and Wednesdays following the sale to come in and pay and collect your goods. If you have a large amount of items you can speak to reception and arrange a morning collection if that works better for you. All goods purchased must be collected by 5pm Wednesdays to avoid any storage charges of £1 per day per item.

We have a postage department which provides quotations and arranges packing and postage across the uk for smaller items. Larger items locally can be delivered by our van and two men or we can provide courier service details for you to arrange.

All items at auction are sold as seen, we are simply a conduit between the seller and the buyer. Photographs and descriptions are a guide and it is buyers responsibility to use the viewing period to obtain as much information as they need on an item before bidding. If in the description it states working order then we offer a 24 hour guarantee in which you can test the item and ensure it works. If an item does not state this then it is unchecked and is the buyers responsibility to check the item prior to bidding.

We do PAT test electricals. This does not guarantee it is working it simply confirms the plug is safe to switch on.

It is £1.50 per lot + VAT. There is also a commission of 19% + VAT on the hammer price. All electrical items are PAT tested at a cost of £1 + VAT per item.

Our valuer/auctioneer can arrange a visit tot he property and take a look at the items that need clearing, he will make a comprehensive list and advise you of values and costs for us to collect the items and bring them to auction for you.

This service can be requested by filling in the form on our Valuations page.

We request any unsold items are removed from the auction by 5pm Wednesday following the auction. The lot fee of £1.50 + VAT remains even if the items has not sold. To avoid storage fees it is recommended you keep in touch with the auction house if you are unable to collect your unsold items.

If you had our van collect the items and bring them to auction, then the unsold items will most likely be tried again in another sale. A maximum of three attempts will be made to sell your goods in this instance. No storage charges will apply.

items. We also share interesting lots of large collections on our social media platforms weekly. Your item is also uploaded to the Easyliveauction platform where hundreds of buyers browse our catalogue each week.
