Lost the last auction?
Each auction we receive 1-5 messages telling of regrets having lost the auction, as they did not bid as high as they would have been willing to pay (or they did not “Buy It Now”/”Make an Offer” before the item was gone). Some bidders use last-second bidding programs not giving you enough time to respond. To avoid this, we advise: 1.Checking the auction in the last moments, 2.Signing up for a sniping program yourself (and entering your maximum number there), 3.Entering your maximum amount the first round to increase your chances of winning.
Remember; a maximum bid is a maximum bid regardless of when submitted.
If you are willing to let the item go to someone else at a certain amount; enter that number accordingly. For information how eBay bids on your behalf only enough to win, refer to eBay's help pages:

We wish you the best of luck!

Forgeries/Fraud:
Castle Gates will not tolerate forgeries or replicas passed off as authentic. We are hobby collectors whose interests are in archaeological sites, individual explorers, shipwrecks, purchasing collections from individuals, estates, inheritances, local and worldwide auction houses, our own excavation & metal detecting excursions, museum discontinuance, governmental sales and metal detecting individuals/clubs throughout the world. We are always open to new avenues of acquiring items of archaeological interest (if any of you would be interested) and sharing with others. We research each of our antiquities for authenticity, provenance, material & likelihood of finding a particular item given the conditions of discovery. As with any antiquity; items may have some degradation, chips, cracks or uneven portions. If any item has major areas that may affect the integrity or strength of the item, we will make separate mention. If you are unsure if an item is authentic, we would be happy to assist best we can (free of charge). Inevitably an item can even slip through the hands of world renowned auction houses; for this reason we offer a money back guarantee with no ill feelings. We remain humble in our years of formal degrees and informal education: “The more we learn, the less we know.” We are honest sellers doing our best to share our enthusiasm and love for antiquities (and other interesting items) with a spirit of honesty, respect, honour and dignity. For references; Read from our partial reference list below, or check with Bonham's, Sotheby's, Doyle's New York and Christie's worldwide auction houses; they have been very kind to us.
