How to bid
 7.00pm
Monday 22nd
June 2009,Lyon & Turnbull, 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh EH1 3RR 1. Bidding at the auction. When you arrive at the auction house you must complete a form with your personal details. To save time you have the option of doing this on-line here. Prior to commencement of the auction you will be given a card which will be used to identify you to the auctioneer and his assistants. Please make your bid clearly by raising your card and in the event of you winning any item, please make your way to the payment area either immediately if you are not purchasing anything else, or after the close of the auction. We do ask you to come along to the auction house with a photo-id such as a driving licence or passport and a utility bill so that we can establish proof of identity. 2. Bidding in advance From two weeks prior to the auction you will be able to register as a bidder. You can also bid for items without having to be present. There will be a form to fill out in which you must provide your payment details and the maximum amount that you wish to bid. During the auction, one of our assistants will bid on your behalf up to the maximum amount that you have advised. If other bidders drop out, of course you may win the item for far less than your maximum. This service can only be provided for a limited number of bidders. Please fill out your advance bidding form as soon as possible. We will advise you by email if we are able to bid on your behalf. 3. Payment There is no commission to add to the sale price - the price you bid is the price that you pay. You can pay by cash, credit card, debit card or direct bank transfer. Samaritans will keep the artwork in their possession until payment is received. We ask for you to use bank debit card or direct bank transfer where possible - please remember that we are a charity, we are ENTIRELY self funded and that credit card commission directly lowers our income. You will be provided with a receipt for your purchase and we will ask you to sign for the artwork when handed over to you.
