Lots are on view in our Montgomery Street Salerooms throughout the duration of the auction. The images on the website are as accurate reproductions as is practicable and can be relied upon as such. Ross's are pleased to offer a condition report on any lot upon request. Purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the condition and nature of any lot.

Maximum Bid
You may leave a maximum bid which will instruct the computer to bid on your behalf only as much as required for you to remain the highest bidder up until your limit. This means that you may win an item for less than your maximum bid, however you can also be outbid if someone enter a higher maximum bid. If you are outbid you will receive an outbid notification by email. Please note: Only you will know what your maximum bid is.
Sale Procedure
The sale will commence at a designated time and date and will run for 7 days. The sale will end with every lot finishing at 30 second intervals up until the sales completion. (Please note: Each individual lot displays a unique end time).
If your bid is accepted, you will be notified that you are the current highest bidder. If you are outbid you will be notified by email and have the option to bid again and if you win a lot you will receive an invoice by email after the auction's completion.
Anti-Snipe Feature
In designing this website, Ross's have employed over one hundred years of auctioneering experience to replicate events as closely as possible as they occur in the saleroom. If a bid is placed in the final 30 seconds of the auction, the time will be extended back to 30 seconds. This feature ensures that bidders and in particular underbidders have a fair opportunity to respond to the bidding.
