Very interesting. Some of the conventional "antiquey" items were not that expensive for what you got. Yes there was one military comms selection [3346] where the bidding reached nearly £2k [competition the auctioneers friend?] and a perhaps high priced valve group but overall, many lots seemed relatively good value... if you calculate resale value on the individual items that is, in the right place! It's all speculation in the end though

. One lot of photos didn't reach it's reserve which surprised me.

Auctions are just gambling really but safer. You can win... but if you don't... you haven't actually lost anything
