GENE RAL INFORMATION RELATING TO SALES BY PUBLIC AUCTION

GUIDE PRICE An indication of the sellers’ current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist prospective purchasers in deciding whether or not to pu rsue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneers at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of auction, in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall or as a s ingle price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE The sellers’ minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. These reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer.
