The guide price is an indication of the current minimum price at which, or if a guide price range is given, within which, the seller may be prepared to sell at the date the guide price is published.
The reserve price is the minimum price acceptable to the seller and the price below which the auctioneer cannot sell. Both the guide price and the reserve price may be subject to change up to the time of the auction.
The guide price does not include either VAT which may apply to the sale or other amounts the seller may charge. The seller’s Special Conditions of Sale and addendum if any, will state whether there are other seller’s charges and whether the seller has elected to charge VAT on the sale price.
