Yes I've noticed things always seem to make there money since it's been online auctions
there really aren't any auction bargins anymore.
Are bright Wells not letting anyone in at all? I know you can go for a walk round at euros, York machinery sale and watts
The guy who runs our local place said exactly this, the prices things are making now are above what was achieved on a live sale day, so if he went back to old ways then the regular vendors would not be happy at all! And he has probably seen the light and doesn’t want the hassle of a live sale anymore. He can run the site with very few staff for a start!
The hustle and bustle of sale day has gone though, which I sort of liked, despite being an antisocial recluse. Those sale day bargains have gone now too I think. Have had some absolute steals out if there at times, but I think those days are gone...
I nearly picked up a very nice Belle mixer last month, but I was repeatedly outbid within the last minute, which just adds another ten minutes to the auction time for that lot! It’s not like a live sale where there’s a split second decision, or eBay for that matter... But I got pissed right of with this clown bidding at the last minute and the red mist descended
and I bid way more than I really should have, thankfully I knew when to stop and he paid virtually new money for a used mixer with no guarantee it worked! Bloody ridiculous!
