RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted October 24, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 24, 2021 I saw this, have no idea what it is like, but someone might think it of use? I have no interest in this at all and place it here purely for information. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/hansons/catalogue-id-hanson10376/lot-4f603495-fba7-4554-926e-adca0100467e Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted October 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 25, 2021 Interesting - but be wary of the additional fees involved - 38.4% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sellers fees are the same then that's nearly 80% total to the auctioneer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelE Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 That's outrageous to pay for the privilege to buy something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave55uk Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Then there's the postage on top - a friend recently bought some stuff from an auction and the postage was £90 !!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 3, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2021 I once thought Auctions were good. Possibly if you attend in person and/or are a Trader that then sells on. Mostly the stuff is old and rubbish with the odd exception of a Shop's stock appearing. Decent Houses charge around 25/30% and around £25 For Postage. Sounds a lot and is, but you can get some things, pay that and still get a bargain; just depends who wants what and where. Sadly I don't need much these days so a set of 16 Bachman Coaches, new in boxes for around 160£, including charges, was not a bargain. Was that stuff in my OP any good?

P A friend bid on my behalf up to £320 but then stopped as agreed. With commision etc. the cost would have been close to £500. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave55uk Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I bought one of the Lenz handsets once (not from an auction), cost me £120. So that's £600's worth before looking at the rest of the stuff. Fortunately I/we didn't need this lot, was basically just for back-up purposes.

RAF96 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Don’t forget auction houses charge their % plus VAT then as stated some will automatically post out if not collected within a set timescale. Read the Ts & Cs carefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
