In person:
You can bid in any of our auctions in person at our saleroom. Our front of house staff will issue you with a paddle which clearly displays your bidding number and when you want to bid you raise it in the air for the auctioneer to see.
Absentee bidding:
If you are unable to attend the auction you can submit a confidential absentee bid indicating the maximum amount you would be prepared to bid.
Our auctioneer will bid on your behalf and we will always try to secure the item for you at the lowest price within your bidding limit.
You can send your absentee bids to us by email at john@email.com or you can leave them over the phone on 353 (1) 6351114 if you have already registered with us. We are unable to accept bids by fax. All absentee bids must be received by John Weldon Auctioneers at least one hour before the start of the auction, and please be advised that you will need to register to bid with us prior to leaving your bid.
