Firstly, You need to contact Cezanne who will register your details and open an account for you.
You will be required to pay a deposit of £500 at least 2 hours prior to the auction.
(Auctions – Monday, Wednesday, Friday start at 6pm)
This £500 deposit will be taken off the balance of any vehicles purchased that night – or if no vehicles are purchased then the £500 will be full refunded onto your card.
Please be aware that if you pay the deposit off a credit card then it is subject to a 3% surcharge (which would be non-refundable).
Withdrawing Bids
If you are the highest bidder on a vehicle – therefore, “win” a bid and you chose not to go through with the complete purchase of the vehicle – your full deposit of £500 will unfortunately be lost.

You will see that you have the option of bidding on these vehicles through increments of either £10, £25, £50, £100, £200 & £500 (dependent on the value of the vehicle).
You can also let the auctioneer know that you may be interest in bidding on this vehicle by clicking "may bid".
When your bid is accepted, your bid will turn green, and if yours is the winning bid, you will receive an email notification to confirm you have either purchased the car outright or you bid is a provisional (highest bid offered, but hasn’t reached the required reserve) and we will contact the vehicle owner to enquire whether they will accept your bid.
