Default Re: Radiophile Auctions

It certainly was the case in the past, if it is still the case is purely conjecture. This isn't a dig at anyone - the returns from the commission at auctions isn't that great, especially where the average hammer price could be as low as £20.

By the time the Auctioneer gets paid, and the hall rental is covered, there isn't that much left.

There has to be a significant number of high value lots and good bidding to make an auction worthwhile for the organisers.
