What is the Shipping Calculator?+
The shipping calculator is a tool available on our website to ensure you are able to view all freight charges before bidding on a particular item.
The Shipping Calculator calculates the freight, handling, packaging and insurance cost for the delivery of an item to a nominated postcode and can be located in all lot descriptions.
Simply click on the Truck symbol and it will automatically calculate freight charges to your registered delivery address. Freight to your postcode will then be broken down into 'shipment rate' and 'per item rate'.
Freight is calculated by adding the 'shipment rate' and then the 'item rate'
The shipment rate is the base rate depending on the zone of destination - metro/regional and country
The cost of the item rate depends on the weight and size of the item
To calculate for 1 item:
Shipment rate + item rate = total cost
To calculate for multiple units of the same item:
Shipment rate + (item rate x multiples of the units) = total cost
Freight consolidation across sales (ie. different sale number) is not possible.
Please note, we are unable to consolidate freight on certain items such as wine, high value Jewellery, large palletised items and certain artworks.

How Autobids work

Grays Mideast autobid system compares your bid to other bidders and increases your bid by increments up to your maximum bid amount if necessary to win the auction.
If someone bids higher than your maximum amount, you will receive an email indicating that you have been outbid. You may then decide to increase your maximum amount. This can be done at any time before an auction ends.

1. Select the Autobid function by clicking on the circle next to auto bid
2. Select the maximum bid price you are willing to pay for each item from the drop down menu
3. Click place bid
4. Check the details are correct and confirm bid
IMPORTANT: The bid amount you select for your auto bid is per item, if you are bidding on more than one item please take the total price including freight and buyers premium into consideration before committing to the auction.

What is a reserve price & how does it affect an auction?+
A vendor may set a minimum reserve price on their asset. You will see "Reserve not met" beside the bidding price of the item.
Once bidding meets or exceeds the reserve price the "Reserve not met" label will be removed, and at the end of the auction, the highest bid for each item(s) will win the asset.
If the reserve price has not been met when the auction closes, the vendor will be informed of the highest bid made. If the vendor wishes to proceed, the highest bidder may be contacted regarding a potential purchase of the asset.
Please note: that when you confirm your bid, it is still accepted as a valid bid even when the "Reserve not met" label is shown.
What is meant by Product Condition?+

What is the Buyer's Premium?+
Like all traditional in house auctions Grays charges a Buyer's Premium. This is an administration fee that is applied to the bid price of an item won at auction.
It is always a percentage of the purchase price and may vary, depending on the sale category. It is important to review the lot description for details.
There are also two types of buyer’s premium:
Standard Buyers Premium, where regardless of the final bid price, the buyer’s premium remains at the set percentage (please refer to lot description).
Variable Buyer Premium, where the percentage of buyer’s premium will change once a certain bid price threshold is reached. For example, an item may be subject to 20% buyer’s premium when the bidding is less than $1000, moving to 10% buyer’s premium once the bidding reaches $1000 or more.
The Buyer's Premium is payable at the same time as the Winner's Amount, and forms part of the total Invoice amount which is paid by the winning bidder. The Buyer's Premium may be inclusive or exclusive of GST, depending on the sale category.
Buyer's Premium is not applied to Buy Now sales, as these reflect a retail environment.
