What did they get up to TD, I've heard one or two things about ridiculous estimates and selling below reserves I'd be interested
Err - charged me a fecking fortune in lotting fees and sold my stuff for f-all squared - just as you mention above. Who in their right mind would sell items (worth somewhere between £10-50 each btw - I know cos they are readily valued) for £1 when it costs £3 per auction to put them in the auction and 20% of the final amount achieved. When you give them £1500-2000 worth of items - and it costs £260 for them to collect the large furniture items - you don't expect to get £80 back AFTER charges.
So the sum was
£260 to collect
£200 realised
less £120 to sell it
Result £80 - or minus £180 basically.
And, to put the tin hat on it - I had to ring up 3 times and go down to get the cheque (such as it was) from them.
