It is important to realize that I will try to obtain the lot bid on for the lowest possible price, at a maximum of 10% over the next highest bid, and I fully appreciate the fact that the bids given are the maximum figure that the bidder is prepared to pay for any lot. I am happy to handle bids for customers who are interested in multiple lots but only wish to spend a limited amount of money. Enter your bids in the order you want them, mark “Lots entered in order of priority” and clearly state your limit of winning bids. In a similar way if you wish to bid on a choice of two, or more, items, clearly mark your bids ”either/or...”.
