I HAVE QUESTIONS NOT ANSWERED HERE

That’s good. We love to chat. Don’t ask us anything about religion, politics or sport, but everything else we’ll have a jolly good go at. Fire away, email us team@evoke-classics.com, message us on socials, or pick up the phone. #classicsconnectpeople  

WHERE ARE YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS?

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE RESERVE IS NOT MET?

Two things here. If the auction ends and the final highest bid is within 10% of the reserve, we will PROVISIONALLY sell the car. This means we will go back to the seller and aim to get their approval to accept that bid.   If at the end of the auction the final highest bid is NOT within 10% of the reserve, the team [...]

HOW DO I GET PAID?

Once the auction closes, the winning bidder will be asked to pay via Bank Transfer within 48 hours. Once payment has been received, we will then payout to you the relevant funds via Bank Transfer (so sale price less commission and VAT). There may be some situations where 48h hour payment can't be made [...]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY “NO SNIPING”?

Sadly, some on-line auctions buyers use a little bit of sneaky software to enter a bid in the very final nano-seconds of the auction to try and pip others without giving them a chance to respond. If we find them we will ask them politely to either stop or leave. But if a bid is placed during the last 2 minutes of an [...]

HOW DO RESERVES WORK?

We chat with the vendor and together set a reasonable reserve. We ask that vendors be realistic, there is no point in reserving a car well above its market value, this will only lead to disappointment. Please be aware that when you place a bid equal to or above the 'reserve' your bid will jump to the reserve price.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE BIDDERS ARE SERIOUS, AND TYRE-KICKERS REMOVED?

It’s a fair point. Our bidders have to complete a simple registration with us.  We make the whole process, open, honest and fair. Our bidders have NO FEES. What they bid is what they pay. Some auctions sites charge upwards of 15% on top of the final bid. Our bidders bid with supreme confidence. [...]
