Re: BBC Auction 15th June
I've bid on a couple of items but this is going to get expensive

Re: BBC Auction 15th June
Is this stuff likely to be in great demand?
I'm not intending to bid on anything!

Re: BBC Auction 15th June
Most of the professional stuff will be bought by dealers.
There's certainly some odd stuff there - why would a broadcasting centre have 20 domestic clock radios? |

Re: BBC Auction 15th June
Looks like the combination of Buyer's Premium plus VAT will add 38.6% to the hammer prices. Plus another 2% for payment by cash or credit card...

Re: BBC Auction 15th June
I don't understand why just relocating to a new building so much is being sold.
Only phase 1 of the sale as well.

Re: BBC Auction 15th June
It's a bit like my own process recently while relocating my business to a new workshop - all that retired equipment and "might come in" stuff really is redundant so might as well go.

Re: BBC Auction 15th June
In short, it's obsolete old crap that has no place in a brand new broadcast centre! It'll be hard enough to get everything working in the new place without the uncertainty that old, hammered gear - even if it was compatible - would bring. A small number of items will be useful to other parts of the BBC - especially Archives - and there's even something heading my way as we speak, but looking at the listings, I feel no urge to bid on anything there.
While I don't know for sure, I suspect those clock radios were quiz prizes. These might have been left over from a change of programme or presenter, or perhaps the quiz was dropped when the rules around quizzes were tightened up a few years back... |

Re: BBC Auction 15th June
There's a few LS3/5a loudspeaker pairs that are making quite serious money.......

Re: BBC Auction 15th June
Audio gear usually sells; hopefully it covers the cost of disposing of all those Betacam VT machines and SD CRT monitors
