Here’s everything you need to know about how the buying process works, what to expect, and tips for securing your winning bid.

1. Find Your Perfect Lot 🔍

The journey begins with finding a bargain you’re interested in. Simon Charles offers a wide variety of items, sourced from high-street and online retailers, wholesalers, and distributors across the UK. Each lot can vary in condition, from new and boxed to customer returns or graded items. To make sure you’re confident in your choice, we always recommend you view the item in person at our auction centre, allowing you to assess its condition firsthand.

Tip: Use our easy website navigation to search by category, brand, or size to help you quickly find the items you’re most interested in.

3. Place Your Bid 🤑

With your account set up, you’re ready to place a bid, now the fun starts! Each item will display its current bid price, and you can either place a bid at the next available increment or set a maximum bid to let our system do the work for you. As the auction progresses, our platform will automatically bid on your behalf, only raising your offer if someone else bids against you.

Tip: At Simon Charles, we use a 2-minute extension rule. If a bid is placed in the closing minutes of an auction, the time will automatically extend by two minutes, giving you a fair chance to respond.

4. Congratulations, You’re the Winner! ✅

If your bid holds until the end, congratulations – you’ve won the auction! An invoice for your items will be generated, and you’ll have 24 hours to complete the payment. We offer secure online payment options, ensuring your details remain safe throughout the process.

5. Collection or Postage: Receiving Your Items 🎁

Once payment is complete, it’s time to decide how you’ll receive your items. Simon Charles offers postage services for most items, providing an easy and reliable way to get your items to you quickly. For items that are too large for postal delivery, you’ll have the option to collect them from one of our auction centres at a convenient time.

Tip: Always check the delivery options available for your specific lot before bidding to ensure smooth, stress-free planning.
