About AntiquarianAuctions.com

AntiquarianAuctions.com is an online rare book auction site for collectors and dealers worldwide. All sellers are recognized book dealers who have been vetted before being allowed to sell on AntiquarianAuctions.com. This enables buyers to bid with confidence.

How it works?

Auctions run every 5 weeks. They start on a Thursday evening at 16.30 GMT and end the following Thursday at the same time. This allows buyers time to view, bid or to contact sellers for additional information and photographs if required.

During the 5 weeks between auctions sellers upload books they wish to sell on the upcoming auction. Once 50 books have been uploaded to the auction a link to the preview will appear below the countdown clock to the left of the screen. Only the author, title and a picture of the lot are visible in the preview. Full details of the lots and the sellers will be available once the auction begins.

Once the auction has finished an email is sent to the buyers and sellers stating what has been bought and sold. It is the responsibility of both the buyer and seller to contact one another to organise payment and shipping.


There is no buyer's premium charged on Antiquarian Auctions
