FIRST TIMED AUCTION OF 2021
VERY SUCCESSFUL UNDER VERY TRYING CIRCUMSTANCES!
Another 1200 lots were up for sale in
our February Auction with the vast majority finding new homes with buyers
throughout the length of Britain & further afield!
With the Saleroom closed to the
Public due to the 3rd (& hopefully final) Lockdown the logistics
of getting goods in & out are a major headache, with everything needing to
be done contactless. Our sturdy new shed has proved to be a welcome packing
station for buyers as well as our 3 vans which have also acted in a “Click
& Collect” capacity.
One of the most keenly contested
items in the sale was a Mountfield tractor style mower in good order from a
house clearance in Cornwall which well exceeded expectations when selling for
£900. An oak cased Admiral Fitzroy style barometer also sold well at £155. A
small pair of iron recumbent lion figures proved so popular that the winning
bidder drove all the way from Salisbury to collect them- she was a dealer so
the journey was allowed!
Our next Sale will be in early April
depending on the virus circumstances- we will announce the date on our website,
on easylive & our Facebook page when we confirm it.
Please contact us as soon as possible
to book appointments to bring in further lots. You will need to have adequate capacity for
remote unloading onto a designated vehicle & please bring a list of lots
& any reserves required.

Traditionally held in the Market Hall in the centre of town, the Auction moved to its permanent site at Fatherford in June 2007, due to the redevelopment of the Market Hall into a cinema.
With traffic and parking in the town centre having become an increasing problem over recent years the ample parking and easy access to the edge of town auction room has been a real bonus to our customers.
Our auctions are held regularly throughout the year, with goods in all categories being taken in throughout the month by appointment.
Each auction has between 800 - 1000 lots. Outside lots, garden effects & tools are sold first, then small items including china, glass, collectables, silver, jewellery and pictures are sold followed by furniture, furnishings, household goods and miscellanea.
We are happy to give free advice and estimates to our customers and to help with setting suitable reserve prices where relevant.
Our Auctions are featured in the Western Morning News Antiques supplement on the Saturday prior to each sale.
The viewing takes place from 10am- 1pm Monday 12p.m. - 6.p.m. on the Tuesday and from 8.30a.m. on the day of the sale, with the sale commencing at 10 a.m. Our auctions are sold at around 200 lots per hour.
Goods can be paid for and collected during the sale and until 6p.m. on sale day and between 10a.m. - 2p.m. on the Thursday. If these times are not convenient for collection we can offer other slots by appointment in the following few days.
Payments to our vendors are sent out by First Class Post on the Friday of the week following the sale, provided that the purchasers payments have been cleared through our Bank.
Buyers 15% (N0 VAT)
Transport facilities are available to both vendors and purchasers at a reasonable individually priced rate.
