    Yes some very interesting lots. As I do not think I could get there for the auction I just e mailed their appointed shipping agents to see if post/delivery is an option. They said yes but indicated cost could in the region of £135 - £155. Wow.

    Cheers, Phil

    It reminds me of when I naively bought a rifle and then realised the delivery would cost more than the item. Still I had a lovely drive to Devon and back.

    I love the description, Probably Venom tuned, it doesn't give you much comeback if it isn't. Buyer beware I suppose

    Auction

    Some beautiful guns, but I wonder how many people will buy online, only to find that it does not quite live up to expectations
    or maybe have a problem. I suppose you pay your money you take your chance.
    The only gauranteed winner is the Auction House so good luck to all and hopefully only smiley faces

    Any serious collector will take the day off, get in the car, puts the kids into care and raid the never-to-be-touched emergency savings account, and be there! With such a large and diverse collection there is likely to be more 'stuff' available than there are people prepared to do the above, and as such there are likely to be a few bargains, especially amongst the not so high profile items.
    Looking at the 'prices realised' afterwards and wailing about how cheap this, that and the other was, is all too late!

    Loads of interesting guns, but it looks like they had a very hard life...

    Also the auction charges are extortionate! 30% to be paid by the buyer and 10% by the seller.

    Sold as seen as well, and no chance to try.

    Even at this early stage all the Whiscombes have gone over £1k (one over £1.5k, that's £1950 to be paid by the buyer with fees!) and there is still over a week left until the auction starts...

    I don't think there will be many bargains...

    My understanding was 20% on hammer price & Vat so if I paid £1000 on hammer the commission would be £240, so in essence 24%. Or have I misunderstood?

    I think that's if you bid directly with the auction house, if you bid through www.the-saleroom.com it's 29.94%.

    Correct. I just phoned them. They confirmed. The Saleroom add a further percentage.
