Cars and motorcycles will remain at 2.4% (inc VAT) online fees whilst all else across both our businesses is 3.6% (inc VAT). There is one important measure that you must take however, if you plan to bid through the internet, and that is that this reduced rate only applies if you register and bid through our website and not directly through the-saleroom.com which stays at 6%, there's no profit here for us, just a preferential rate we negotiated for customers registering through us.

A reminder of our Petroliana Sale this weekend. Please click below for this sale's catalogue. We also added an additional 30+ lots yesterday bringing the sale to 691 lots so there are some fresh lots to view.
One last thing to mention, sadly we are struggling to find a caterer during this festival season so please do come prepared with sandwiches. We will continue the search and naturally will be able to provide refreshments but food is, at present, proving a challenge, so sorry. Further down the line we hope to open an on-site café but that's not for the short term, our apologies.
With all our best wishes to you, looking forward to seeing you in the week for viewing and Saturday for bidding.

We hope this email finds you well. With our next Petroliana sale being a few months off we thought it might interest some of you to learn that Chippenham Auction Rooms (our sister company) has a sale including Petroliana on Saturday 17th July.
This is a two day sale with an extensive private collection of science fiction and TV related toys, two private collections of vinyl records, pop memorabilia, stamps, coins, postcards etc. being sold on Thursday 15th July and then 400+ lots of enamel signs, shop display pieces, petroliana and motoring ephemera and other early advertising being sold on Saturday 17th July.

When we set these dates we imagined we'd be post 'hug day', however, that has been postponed so once again we find ourselves setting out the Covid-secure plans. As desperate as we all are to return to bidding 'in-the-room', we're mindful of the risks still there and have sought advice.
We are able to confirm that we can offer in-the-room bidding but this is limited. To invite a select number of customers would of course be an impossible quest for us. We will not make our sales exclusive and so here is our offering: there are to be no reserved seats, it will not be a first come first served on the day either.
What we suggest is a fair turn-around and so we can have a set number of people in the room. This will work fairly if customers come in for the lots they are interested in and exit temporarily afterwards. The saleroom shutter will be open and we will take bids from outside in the carpark with a porter mediating when necessary.
To be fair to all, no-one will be able to reside in the saleroom for the duration of the sale regardless of the number of lots that hold interest unless the number attending is below the number we can accommodate. The situation is far from ideal but we ask you to be patient with us and fellow bidders, this is a trial for us all and will only work if we're all mindful of one-another.
We desperately want this to work and will do our utmost to smooth the process for you and we are of course pleased we can return to seeing our bidders and offering the opportunity to view the lots in person. To manage numbers we ask please that you email or call the office to notify us of your intent to attend. Please supply your name and contact number. If numbers are looking to get out of hand we'll need to limit numbers but we're not anticipating that at this stage.

If you are able to view before the day then we advise that you do, as with the limited numbers able to view at one time, viewing may be difficult especially for Saturday's viewers.
Viewing: Wednesday 10am-5pm, Thursday 8.30am-5pm, Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday from 8.30am, Sales starting at 9.30am.

We hope this email finds you well. This Saturday we will be holding our first live, 'in-the-room' motorcycle sale since last autumn. The date, as you can imagine, was set for the first weekend out of lockdown, post 'hug day', however, that has been postponed so once again we find ourselves setting out the Covid-secure plans. We'll go into that detail below but let's put that to one side, as one can in an email, and focus on the positives - a fantastic collection of bikes on offer - 70 in all and 160 spares.
The highlight of the sale is probably the Manx Norton (pictured below) with racing history in the 1970s and '80s. There's 12 classic Triumphs including several Bonnevilles, Tiger 100s etc. Also a collection of pre-war bikes ripe for restoration including Douglas, BSA and AJS as well as at the other end of the scale a 2000 MV Agusta F4, a Honda Goldring and a 1972 Harley Davidson Electraglide.
Amongst the spares are approximately 30 lots of Douglas parts and projects and a large quantity of Norton spares from a single owner collection.

The situation is far from ideal but we ask you to be patient with us and fellow bidders, this is a trial for us all and will only work if we're all mindful of one-another. We desperately want this to work and will do our utmost to smooth the process for you and we are of course pleased we can return to seeing our bidders and offering the opportunity to view the bikes in person. To manage numbers we ask please that you email or call the office to notify us of your intent to attend. Please supply your name and contact number. If numbers are looking to get out of hand we'll need to limit numbers but we're not anticipating that at this stage.
If you are able to view before the day then we advise that you do, as with the limited numbers able to view at one time, viewing may be difficult for Saturday's viewers.
Viewing: Thursday 10am-5pm, Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday from 8.30am, Sale starting at 10am for spares and approximately 11.15am for bikes.
In addition to in the room bidding, bids can be left with us, live bidding over the telephone available as well as through the-saleroom.com Refreshments will be available.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Stay safe,
from all the R.E.A.L team

Sale this week
We're thrilled to be putting on our first 'in-the-room' sale this weekend and look forward to welcoming you back to Chippenham from tomorrow when we go on view. We've been given the go-ahead to taking bookings from up to 100 guests. Both viewing and seats for the sale are strictly by reservation only.
With having such a heavy restriction placed on us, due to Covid-19, we do ask that if you book a place and then find you won't be attending that you kindly let us know as we anticipate we'll have to hold a reserve list - a very alien concept to be limiting numbers when we've spent years encouraging the reverse!
We are however, of course, not restricted online and so actively encourage online bidding, booking a telephone line (to save yourself the online fee) or leaving a commission bid with us by phone or email.
Viewing: Thursday 10am-5pm, Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 8.30am-5pm

Next Saturday, the 6th, we are offering 959 lots including enamel signs, petrol pumps and globes, oil cans, showcards, tins, mascots etc. The full catalogue is now online, link below. Do use this link as we've still a few images to upload to our website but the-saleroom has the full listings. |
In light of the lockdown, all auctioneers in England at present must be closed to visitors, can offer online-only auctions and a click and collect contactless collection or delivery. So unfortunately there is strictly no viewing, our premises are closed. Although in-the-room viewing isn't permitted we can offer live video viewing, please call Richard at the office or email us if you would like to book a video inspection of any lot (contact details at the bottom of this email).
Telephone bidding is available for all lots as well as absentee bidding, there are no charges for either of these if booked directly with us. If you do plan to book a phone line we would ask you kindly to do this as soon as is feasible as we must plan staffing and would like to ensure we have enough phone operators. Online bidding is also available via the catalogue link above.
Hoping you and your love ones are keeping safe and well, we miss seeing you here and look forward to speaking/emailing with you and seeing you in person as soon as possible.
