By restricting sellers to established dealers AA seeks to maintain the highest standards of the trade to give buyers confidence in the sellers so avoiding the pitfalls of the general internet auction sites.Monthly sales are held. The sales run for a week at a time starting and ending at fixed times. Viewing and bidding takes place throughout the week. All lots are fully described and illustrated on the site.Buyers may contact the sellers for further details and information.Extended time bidding prevents end of auction 'sniping'.
