That wont be far from Euro auctions site will it ?

only been to one Ritchies sale in UK that was the first one on behalf of case at peterborough To say we were "stunned "would be an understatement it was pre internet etc so we had no idea what to expect other than a very big sale anyone else go to that ?

Been to few of there sales in Nederlands and quite often go to Euro Actions but RB in the UK seem to be a long way behind Euro Auctions in terms of items per sales and sales per year . When Euro Auctions get the leeds site fully expanded and finished it will be massive .

I like cake
I don’t think you can catch euros now. They pull auctions 35 -45 million a go

Ritchies are 10 million. Ritchies used to be about charging big fees and saying you get the money but euros have killed that for them here. Then ritchies stopped driving things over the line, they also Introduced a minimum 500 buying fee on items below a certain value I.e all plant and I think in the end it reflects in your pocket if selling.

I wouldn’t use ritchies in the uk, I have bought from
Euros and sold in ritchies 2 months later and blew 4K on a 20 k asset I have also seen people buy in ritchies and sell In euros two months later and make 4 k on a 20 k asset

The whole auction job is ruining the industry I am involved in. Prices are high but so are fees
