Now surely that's a bit of a rip off not to start at the lower estimate and let the chap buy it at whatever price it settled at rather than jumping right in at £1,300.

The other niggle was how quick the auctioneer closed some of the lots. I know he has a little quip at internet bidders taking their time however on one lot I certainly did not take my time. I bid at the same time as someone else and was out-bid. I immediately bid again only for the auctioneer to slam the hammer down. I think there had only been three bids so far on it. Oh well, save my cash for Kempton Not really moaning, just some feedback for you.
I’m not sure how that can happen?

Interesting question I will find out for you
