Wow that's an interesting look back at how it used to be. I've only lived in Congleton a few years so never knew they'd moved from somewhere else. I'm guessing they used to be over near West Heath or near the Fire Station?
Commission seems to be on a par with anywhere else at 20%, still a bit steep but there are bargains still to be had even if lowest bid is a fiver. Being just round the corner, I tend to have a shufty round after the sale and see what has passed or not made reserve since they'll sell outright then, exactly how I got my low hour Ferguson 3960 and the Stereomaster
