That was a fun read, some junk but some beauties. It answered the questions I previously raised about the auctioneers take, 15% on first £500, 12% on everything else. So my maths skills says that’s around £1,000 on an £8,000 hammer price… More than I thought it might be.
It’s also changed my idea of an auction from Lovejoys version to ‘we want all your details and bank info, which we will check before the auction’. You’re certainly not going to turn up and make a mad cash purchase!
Also I couldn’t find anything about the Anthony R. East collection that I’d previously posted about in Bonhams Auction, Staffs county showground 14-15th Oct - Events / Shows - Triumph Motorcycle Forum. Perhaps it’s been pulled or not ready yet?
