Next Live Auction - June 2025
Our auction on the Wednesday 11th, Thursday 12th and Friday 13th June 2025 is just under 2 months away.
We are busy behind the scenes cataloguing lots, taking pictures and generally trying to get organised for the event, if you have any items to consign, the deadline for entries is May 12th, but as is always the case - the earlier we receive your items the better!
Remember: For our Live auctions Internet Bidding via Loddon Live is at a reduced premium when compared to the-saleroom.com!!
Loddon Live
Based upon technology from our long-term online auction provider, www.the-saleroom.com, you will now be able to place both live and pre-Sale bids through our site.
This will be at the reduced Internet rate of 3% for a total commission of 22%, as opposed to 4.95% (total 23.95%) when placing bids via
the-saleroom.com.
To use this new service you will need to register your interest using the 'Loddon Live' link at the top of the page.
Postage & Packing
All Post & Packing is done in house, at minimal cost, and unlike many of our competitors we do not seek to make a profit on the P&P, merely to recover our costs. We routinely ship lots to successful bidders across the world.
After each auction our in-house staff combine the Lot(s) for each winning bidder and calculate the postage charges, which are shown separately on the invoice before being sent to you. We normally use Royal Mail and Parcelforce for our deliveries. We always combine Postage where possible.
We are happy to work with you should you wish to use your own courier.
