Antiques Auctions – The final bit
ByPart 10 , the last in my series of articles on buying antiques at auction. Here is one more thought you might like answered – do let me know if there are any more 
Can I take my purchase back for a refund?
The quick answer to this question is NO however there is an exception:
- if you notice that the item is not as described in the auction catalogue you might be able to get a refund in a day or two you will need to check the auctioneers terms and conditions. Take care here the auctioneers are pretty careful in describing things for example if they say “Victorian Style” you cannot expect to take it back if you find out it is brand new.
So what can I do about this?
Talk to the auctioneer, he might be willing to see if the under bidder still wants the item however you will not get your full purchase price.
Put it back into the next auction and hope for the best.
Which auctions do you attend Anne? And which are the most profitable?
Now that is something I’m not telling . You will need to put in many many hours ( Years?) of effort to answer that for yourself!
