A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
Live bidding through our website
When the auction is underway, you can bid live on this lot through our website. To bid live, you must be registered and signed in to our website, and have a valid credit or debit card registered on your account.
Leaving a bid prior to the auction
You can leave a bid prior to the auction day - this is called a 'commission' or 'absentee' bid. Prior to the auction, you can place your bid through our website (you'll need to be registered and signed in to do this). When you leave your bid, you enter the maximum amount you're willing to pay - the auctioneer will bid on your behalf etc. etc. For further advice contact our team on 0141 810 2880 or email info@mctears.co.uk. You can also find out more information about bidding on our 'Buying with McTear's' page.

You can, of course, bid in person at our auction room when the sale is underway. Come along to our auction room on the day of our sale, and register for a paddle number - if it's your first time bidding our staff will be able to answer any questions for you on the day.
