Bidding
When you wish to bid, signal in an obvious way to the auctioneer. Holding up your buyer’s number is the most
visible and reliable method. If you wish to cease bidding indicate again in a definite manner, i.e. Shake your
head.
Quaid Auctioneers employ experienced auctioneers who can differentiate between voluntary and unconscious
movements. If your bid is successful hold up your buyer’s number so that the auctioneer can read it clearly and
record your purchase.
Absentee Bidding
Quaid Auctioneers provide an Absentee Bid Service for all our auctions if you are unable to register through our online platform. Download our absentee bidder form, fill in all your details or come to our viewing day and complete an absentee bid form. All absentee bids must be in prior to 8am on auction day. The auctioneer will bid on your behalf. Successful bidders will be emailed an invoice at the end of the auction. All the standard conditions of sale apply to absentee bids.

Catalogues
Catalogues for each of our auctions are usually available the day before the Auction is scheduled. Catalogues
for our auctions are also available from our web-site www.quaidauctioneers.com.au. Just follow the prompts to
the Auctions, Catalogue then click on the download catalogue button.
Multiple Items
If a lot has more than one item listed, the lot is sold on a per-each basis with the highest bidder for that lot
usually given the option to take one or more at that bid price, the under bidders then have the opportunity to
purchase the items at the same bid price. Underbidders will generally be given the first opportunity to purchase
the remaining lots, so if you do not bid you may miss out.
Collection of Items
All items must be collected Thursday & Friday 8.30 to 4pm following the auction, forklift will be available during these times to help with loading. Uncollected items will be subject to forfeiture and re-sale without notice.
Buyer’s Premium
This is a commission paid on the knockdown price of any lot purchased and forms part of our fee for conducting the auction. The premium is added to your invoice but shown separately.
Passed in/Suspended Items
Should you have an item or items that have been passed into you throughout the auction, please call our office on 4051 3300 and quote the lot number that you are interested in so they can assist you in purchasing.
Referred Bids
If bidding does not reach the value the vendor is seeking, the auctioneer may refer the highest bid. Should your
bid be referred please check at the auction office to see if your bid was successful.
Forthcoming Auctions
All forthcoming auctions are listed on our web site: www.quaidauctioneers.com.au.

The online catalogue and advertisements for each auction clearly state the auction is being held on GST inclusive basis in that GST is included in the bid price, where applicable and is dependent on whether vendors are registered for GST. Inclusive auctions include GST in the knockdown price. The GST component of your purchase is clearly identified on your Quaid Auctioneers Tax Invoice.
