When you wish to make a bid it is advisable to make sure that you are visible to the Auctioneer and to bid by making a clear gesture with your hand or by waving a catalogue. If you think that the Auctioneer has not seen you then repeat the gesture until your bid has been acknowledged by the Auctioneer.
Any lot that you buy is your responsibility from the fall of the hammer, because at that moment legal title passes to the Buyer. When you have bid on all the items that you wish to, you should proceed to the auction office to pay for lot(s) purchased, and then collect your purchases on production of your receipt. You will not be able to collect your purchases until you have paid for them.
