Never bid on a timed auction?
It is very straightforward - here is all the info you need:
In a timed auction, there is no auctioneer taking bids from a live audience in a room. Instead, bids can be placed online, on each lot for a defined period of time. Once the time-period expires, the bidder who has submitted the highest bid wins the lot, provided the bid exceeds the reserve price. Note that the online surcharge is a reduced 3%+VAT.
Max bids (competitive bidding)
As a bidder, you can enter a max bid – the most you are willing to bid, and we do the rest. The-saleroom.com will bid intelligently for you, only enough to meet the reserve or stay in the lead.
End-time extension
Lot scheduled end times are displayed on the individual lot time. Note, lots are scheduled to close in 30secs intervals from each other. These scheduled end times are subject to change should bidding occur within 5mins of the scheduled end time.
If a bid is placed in the final 5 minutes of the lot’s scheduled end time, the end-time will be extended to protect against ‘sniping’ – the practice of bidders placing bids in the last few seconds preventing other bidders responding. Boldon Auction Galleries have set the lot extension to 5minutes, meaning a bid placed in the final 5 minutes extends the lot’s end time by 5 minutes.
Outbid notifications
You’ll see your ‘current bid’ when you log in and view the lot (often it will be less than your ‘maximum bid’). If someone bids higher than your maximum, the-saleroom.com will send you an ‘outbid alert’ via email to let you know, so you can decide whether or not to bid more.
Viewing is by online catalogue or in person Saturday 29th October 10am-1pm, Tuesday 1st November 10am – 12noon . The sale ends on Tuesday 1st November at 3pm.
Payment is due by Friday 4th November at 12noon.
All lots purchased must be collected by Friday 4th November at 5pm.
Buyer`s Premium 17.5% + VAT
Lots purchased online with the-saleroom.com will attract an additional charge for this service in the sum of 3% of the hammer price plus VAT at the rate imposed

Life in Miniature - Timed Auction Tuesday 18th October - Tuesday 1st November
Lilliput Lane was founded in September 1982 in the Lake District by sculptor David Tate and was known for its extensive range of realistic miniature handmade models of real English and Welsh cottages and scenes.
It produced models ranging from The Tower of London and Tower Bridge to small fisherman's bothies and cottages. Usually based on a real building, Lilliput Lane Cottages are originally carved in wax, with each stone and shingle being added individually. From that model, a silicone mould is made, and from that mould, the final cottage is cast in Amorphite, which is a Lilliput Lane invention. The initial line released in that first September consisted of 14 models. Since the company name had not been determined as of yet, some early models, such as Dale House, Acorn Cottage, and Coach House, have no backstamp on them. This makes these pieces especially valuable to collectors.
“We drive thousands of miles a year, photographing cottages in and around the country, the cold, wet ones, as well as the warm, comfortable ones. It’s from those photographs that we actually put a design together.” David Tate
In 1997 Enesco acquired the company and after moving to Langholm, Scotland in 2009, announced they were closing their production factory and ceasing the manufacture of Lilliput Lane in 2016.
