Sneaky little punt
« on: 01 December 2021, 18:51:46 »

Took a ride to the auction house today selling a few more of my Dinky & Corgi collection , they sell everything house clearance etc + the odd car from deceased estates, I spied  a gleaming black VW Up 2015 reg with 2,300 miles 1 owner MOT just expired so put a pre auction bid in, if I get it cheap enough put it through a test could make a few quid..😁

It's up to the auction house to check the finance before they sell it. That's why you pay them 15%+VAT in fees.

I've always fancied going to a general auction, Mick. Maybe next time the Mrs has a good couple of weeks off.

That's an abdolutely ridiculous amount - way above even BCA's buyers fees..
Think I'd avoid buying there just on principle.

I used to go to the Mannhiem auctions when i was younger. Never bought anything mind you, just went for the entertainment. Bought a Carlton at the Ely one though. Big mistake.  :-[

You could go into partnership with Nick W.

You buy the bargains , he fixes the issues. Then sell on for a profit. Could be a TV series in it. Something like Wheezer Geezer  ;D

Hopefully all it will require is a new ticket , only had 3 MOTs so far sailed through each one as I would expect with 2,300 miles.
