Hi Folks, a friend of mine in N Yorks died last year and his extensive collection was sold at Tennant's. Fortunately it was lot'ed by an experienced auctioneer not unknown on these forums in a sensible manner and realised a good sum for his widow, looks like this may not be the case here.
I'll watch the proceedings with interest (but not bidding) and see if all items are sold. It would be interesting to see if there are min bids set and what happens to unsold items. If they are "rounded up" into the next lot they could ake that expensive if carriage is then added.
