GUIDE PRICE

An indication of the seller s current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether to pursue a purchase.

As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price reserve would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price reserve would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price see separate definition . Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE
