At each auction, a deposit percentage or amount is set. This is clearly displayed in our Terms and Conditions of Sale. As an indication, a $500 deposit for general and Government car sales, $1,000.00 for prestige car sales and 10% for computers. Make sure that you are aware of the amount of money you will need before bidding at an auction. The deposit secures the item that you have successfully bid on. Deposits must be paid for by cash or bank cheque. EFTPOS is available (except in Darwin) for deposits of $500.00 only.
This is an administrative fee charged to the buyer at the completion of sale. This varies from auction to auction. Please refer to the specific auction catalogue at the sale you are attending to find out the relevant processing fee.
