Good Afternoon One And All
Hope are keeping safe and well
We have now finished compiling our next sale and this is the biggest one yet. Items have flooding in over the last weeks, resulting in us having to spread this sale over three days (Friday 10th Saturday 11th And Sunday 12th July). All will start at 12.00 Noon, the total amount of lots going under the hammer is 1,630 yes that’s right !!!!! it’s not a typo. So it’s going to be a busy three days, followed by an even busier week or so in arranging pickups and packing and posting of goods.
The catalogue is now uploaded to our three bidding platforms, so you can peruse at your leisure. Hey but don’t be too slow, don’t forget the sale starts next Friday 10th July.
We have also got over 400 lots already in for our next sale and items are coming in all the time. So if anyone has anything to sell contact us A.S.A.P. because this sale is filling up very quickly. Hey and before you ask the answer is NO for a four day event.
We are hoping within the next few months to get back to some sort of normality, if we will ever get back to conducting weekly sales remains to be seen. So for the time being keep watching our platforms and website for sale dates. I will also inform you A.S.A.P. via social media, telephone, email and pigeon post when I know the dates.
NOW SCROLL DOWN AND READ THE IMPORTANT BITS !!!!!
***CORONAVIRUS *** A.S.H. AUCTIONS UPDATE *** Changes To Our Terms and Conditions ***

This is by appointment only and the viewing days are Monday 6th To Thursday 9th July between 9am and 3pm.Please don’t just turn up, you must contact us first to make an appointment.

What we think is good and what you think is good may be miles apart.
Section 2: BIDDING
We are NOT allowing the general public into the auction room at present. The reason for this is because we are conducting larger sales we have had to reduce the bidding area. With the latest government guidelines we would only be able to accommodate a maximum of six people. We feel this is not practical and so for the time being, you will still need to bid live online from your home, We are excepting commission bids as normal but we are not able to provide a telephone bid services for this sale.
Section 3: PAYMENT
Please note that we would prefer payment by bank transfer our sort code and the account number is on the invoice you receive. The only other way is by debit card over the telephone on 01782 792585 or 07778 347125 or 07864 046382 during the following times.

These are the changes:
We are now going to use Royal Mail. The initial quote will be for our packing service. We will need the invoice including the packing charge to be paid before we can proceed.
