Merseyside area auctions

[omegod]

I visit most of the local ones to me, mainly to keep abreast of values as I trade cars from time to time. Anyhow i'm off to Manheim in Haydock in the morning as it's the lower value sale ( Shiter territory )

 

Just a general shout if anyone local want's to join up at some point at St Helens and the like for a brew and tyre kicking session

What are their buyers fees?

I used to go to that one. They had some decent stuff but that was many, many, many years ago. 

 

Interesting to see how it goes.

Fookin outrageous apparently, not been there for some time, £300 car attracts a £250 buyers fee !

 

Other local independant auctions are around £50 for a sub 1k buy

Tuebrook is the proper shiters auction, or Carr Mill. Mannheim charge ludicrous fees.

 

Tuebrook is £65 I think.

Tuebrook is rough isn't it   the cafe is to be avoided at all costs

Carr Mill..

Seen some proper turds go through there, week in week out. Bids flying off the light fittings and nowt much moving out of the gates.

Save time going to Ellesmere Port by simply setting fire to your money instead. Ideally whilst it's still in your zipped up trouser pockets.

Tuebrook has the added advantage that once you've bid on a car you often have to spend 10 minutes haggling with the office because despite the hammer going down mysterious reserves happen between you winning and trying to pay.

 

So, you bid £500, pay the £200 deposit, get to the office to pay the rest and are often asked "he was hoping for £750,will you pay £700?", "no", "£650?", "no", "I don't think he'll let it go for less", "shouldn't have put it in an auction then", "£600?"

Bawtry Auctions used to be like that - you couldn't buy anything out of there because the old fart auctioneer that sounded like Jimmy Savile just took bids off the wall. You'd be stood there, waiting to make a fair bid for an old shitter and the starting bid was more than it was worth. I gave up on it in the end.
