STEP 2: BIDDING

AUCTION ONLINE ABSOLUTE AND PROXY BIDDING

Should you wish to bid on any item just press bid on the relevant lot photo BID button. Choose if you want to place an "Absolute" or "Proxy" bid

ABSOLTE BIDDING

An Absolute Bid (or traditional bid) is the “immediate” amount a bidder wishes to pay for an item. If an Absolute bid is successful, the high bid will increase directly to the full amount of the Absolute bid.

PROXY BIDDING

Proxy bidding makes bidding on online auctions easier and less time-consuming for buyers once the auction reserve price has been met if any exist. Lumsden's online system will automatically place a bid on your behalf for the lowest amount possible up to your maximum bid using an increment bidding system. This allows you to remain the highest bidder for the auction and your proxy bid will remain confidential. Incremental bidding will only take effect once the reserve price has been met if any. To use Lumsdens proxy bidding system enter the maximum price you are willing to bid for the lot in the bid box and ensure you select proxy otherwise the system defaults to Absolute bid, if you make an error you can just can cancel your bids within a 5 minute time by selecting the red dustbin within the lot details

When you win the auction with proxy bidding you pay only the lowest possible winning bid, which may not necessarily be your maximum bid.

"ONLINE AUCTION" means an automatic auction that takes place online. The Auctioneer will describe the lots, list them on the "Website” and deal with all pre and post-sale enquiries, and hold preview days. Bids are placed and accepted without the auctioneer calling the bids. Each auction shall have an end time. The highest bid to be the winning bid provided the reserve if any has been met.


For the purposes of these terms we will use the following glossary: 


"Lumsden Auctions" refers to MICHAL MACIAZEK T/A Lumsden Auctions the Company that owns and operates the www.lumsdenauctions.com  website with its registered office at Calle   Los nazarios 11B Formentera Del Segura, Alivante 03179 Spain, Lumsden Auctions is IVA (VAT) registered ( No: ESY6180200E). 

Registration Process 

The Bidder must register with Lumsden Auctions in order to use the Website. 

The Auctioneer may approve or decline or ban a Bidder at his discretion and is not obliged to disclose reasons for this decision to the Bidder. Lumsden Auctions reserves the right to refuse and or cancel a registration for any reason. 


All Bids are final and legally binding in accordance with E.U. Law. 

Before bidding the Bidder should satisfy himself / herself that the item that they are bidding on is what they think it is. Lumsden Auctions accepts no responsibility for the description, authenticity, attribution, genuineness, origin, provenance, authorship, date, age, period, quality, condition, fitness for purpose or legality of any lot offered. 

2 Minute Rule

This rule mirrors the principals of a live traditional auction whereby an auctioneer will still entertain bids from interested parties, enabling all bidders to lodge their interest. In the event of last minute bids a 2 minute rule will apply. This 2 minute rule stipulates any party who bids online within the last 1 minute of any Lot’s scheduled closing time will trigger an automatic extension of a further 2 minutes of online bidding. This 2 minute

trigger will continue until 2 minutes has elapsed without any further competing bids and a winning bid is achieved, this also stops bid sniping at auction close, which gives all buyers time to place their bids.
