FAQs

*I'm interested in having an auction, how can Sherwood Auctions help me?

Firstly and most importantly we can help eliminate the stress and do it all for you! Give us a call to arrange a time to meet and we'll check out what you have for sale. Once an auction is agreed upon we will be there to help set up the lots, photograph and sticker all items, produce a catalogue and photo album to share on our website, email list and social media, advertise and promote your auction via website, social media, newspaper/s and signage, run the full auction day and complete all post-auction administration. 

*How do I register as a bidder on auction day?

It's super easy! Just come and see us at the registration desk (usually located close to the auction entry point) and provide us with your name, postal address and phone number. We will give you a number on a bidding card that you can  "wave in the air like you just don't care". That's it!

*What payment methods do you accept on auction day?

We accept cash, EFTPOS, cheque with ID and bank transfer. 

Please note: EFTPOS fees are 50c for savings/cheque and 1% credit.

*I can't make it on auction day, can I place an absentee bid?

Absolutely! If you can't make it on auction day just complete and submit our absentee bidding form here:

We will call you straight after the auction if you are successful on any of your items. (Please note the terms and conditions listed on the form).

*Is there a buyers premium?

Yes, we have a 5% buyers premium on all items sold at auction. We have aimed to keep this as one of the lowest buyers premiums in the state. 

*Do I pay GST?

This is usually not the case, however GST is often applicable on auctions that involve the sale of items from a business or commercial farm.

*Do you have a permanent auction house?

We currently hold on-site auctions, meaning you can find us across the state, as well as running auctions from our current premises in Export Drive, Ulverstone.

*Do you accept online bidding?

Currently we do not offer online bidding, but we are looking at ways we can introduce this to our customers in the future.

*Can you tell us about the reserve prices?

Unfortunately reserve prices cannot be discussed.

*I want to sell my items, how can I do this?

We'd love to hear from you.
