Can I keep some items back?
Yes. Tell us before we catalogue and we leave them out. Once a lot is in the published catalogue, withdrawing it is bad for the sale and may attract a withdrawal charge under our terms, so decide early. If you are unsure about an item, we can catalogue it with a reserve so that it only sells at a price you are happy with.
