How it works
Buying or selling items at an auction is a relatively simple process.
TAYLOR’S AUCTIONS have been in the business for over 40 years and our friendly team of experts are always willing to discuss items entered in the auctions with potential purchasers or vendors, offering honest and helpful advice.
We are happy to do this in person at the saleroom or over the telephone but to make things even easier we have put together this useful guide of the most important things you need to know and that you can reference at any time.
All members of our dedicated team are here to help should you need any assistance. Please note that all items purchased are subject to our standard terms and conditions.
