well i attended the auction tuesday.
didnt want to do the overnight for wednesday, with covid being ripe.
you could have attended, they were allowed up to 40 in the auction room.
ill have to check my bill, as i was also there for something stoopidly over priced. but i think the commision was 30% inc vat.
its correct you are in effect paying 2 lots of fees. but at 33% you may be paying 3 lots.
laurence auctions, TCA, and either easybid, or salesroom. but you can avoid the last two by going dirrect.
i noticed on tuesday, all the books were being scooped up by the trade. same with the cycle lamps. and at what i felt silly prices? but how would i know, ive never read a book. and gave my cycle up 30 years ago
i take it the main part of the pictures were bought by the same traders. SO KEEP AN EYE ON EBAY. then copy them for free for the archive.
since the lockdown auction prices have gone mad, in all areas. at all auctions.
alot of simular things i bought in the TCA last year, were 3 times the price this year.
most of it going to traders, i hope they are not hoping to cash in when the stalls come back. they may get a big serprise.
