Bid Increment
The amount by which a lot’s price is increased upon bidding. For instance, a £500 increment would mean an opening bid of £5,000 would be bid to £5,500, £6,000, £6,500. The auctioneer can vary the increment per lot at their discretion.

Bought-In (a.k.a. Passed)
If there are no bids on a lot, or if bidding does not reach the lowest possible selling price, the lot is “bought in”, meaning it is unsold and remains the property of the owner.

Buyer
The person who placed the highest bid on an item becomes the buyer, or new owner of that item when his/her bid is accepted by the auctioneer, and payment in full has been received.

Buyer’s Premium
The percentage above the hammer price paid by the buyer to the auction house. It forms part of the total purchase price.

Cataloguing
Every lot offered for sale is described for the online catalogue. This will include physical characteristics, owner history, and related facts. This information is published in the online auction catalogue.

Competing Bids
Before and during a sale, an auction house accepts competing bids for a lot from absentee bidders, phone bidders, online and in-room bidders if all of these bidding methods are available.

Condition Report
A written description of the imperfections of an object (or lack thereof), particularly of characteristics that might affect value. This is essential information for prospective bidders.

Consignor (a.k.a. Seller)
The owner who is authorising the auction house to act as agent on his or her behalf for sale.

Consignor Agreement
The contract between the auction house and consignor.

Hammer Price
The final price at which the auctioneer’s “hammer” falls. Note this does not include the buyer’s premium.

Final Selling Price
Hammer Price + Buyer’s Premium.

Lot
An individual object or group of objects offered for sale at auction as a unit.

Lot Number
Every lot in an auction is given a unique lot number. The lots are sold in numerical order.

Online Bidding
The option of bidding online in advance of an auction or in real time during an auction through a computer or mobile device.

Reserve Price
The reserve price is the lowest price which a seller is willing to accept for his or her item. Reserves are set at or below the low estimate, and if bidding ends before the reserve is reached, the property will not be sold. We keep the reserve confidential with the seller.

Starting Price
Price at which bidding begins. Note this may be lower than the reserve.
