(a) their offer has been approved as the highest value bid for the lot; once the auction has been closed for that lot;

(b) the value of their bid is at least equal to or greater than the minimum reserve price fixed by the seller for the lot (if any).

1. Alexander Aurelius Auctioneers would not be responsible for misleading representations of a lot beyond the key and content elements, such as [a pair of shoes, a toaster, a watch]

2. Buyers or prospective buyers recognize that any definition outside of a lot's material characteristics, including but not limited to age, source, condition, brand, and that any other descriptions outside of the material characteristics will be of sole opinion. Any lot without a guide to the state would not mean that the lot has no flaws.

3. No oral or written description of any lot rendered prior to selling shall be treated as a representation of reality outside of the visible and material characteristics of the lot.

2.3 The placing of a bid entitles the auctioneer and any purchaser to depend on the offer as a legitimate offer to buy the items included in the lot.

2.4 The bidder is permitted to inspect the lots. The bidder must email the auctioneer at info@aureliusauctions.co.uk if the bidder wants to see the lots. To schedule a showing of a lot, the buyer must send the auctioneer a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Please be aware that within the final 24 hours of the sale, the auctioneer will not guarantee any showing of any lot. A refundable deposit can be required in order to allow the viewing of lots at the discretion of the auctioneers.
