As above at holts auction 7/8 September. What appeared to be a nice condition, the Erma Webley sold for £480 hammer plus commission About £624.I did put in a bid but went to high for me having already got one.Webley mk2 service rifles made £400 each (2) plus comm.£520 not to bad i suppose.
Incidentally the Erma was described as a EM-GE.

Overpriced in my book, I bid also I was willing to go £430-£450 including fees but as already stated went well over, makes me think sometimes if people realise the extras on top of the hammer price
as a lot at auction go for crazy money. Especially with Holts online bidding you don't realy know what your getting. I'v had a few items described as mint collectors condition which have turned out to be fair to good in my book. Occasionally thoe I'v got a greatt piece at a bargain price. so if anyones got a Ranger that they want rid let me know, cheers Roll

A friend of mine actually put that Webley in the sale. I saw the little gun and it was in 99% excellent condition. He was obviously very pleased with the price he had for it.

So how much did he actually receive? I'm thinking about £360 so a private sale would have probably realised more.

yeah exactly. In excellent condition £450 seems to be about the going rate...

Yes took the words right out of my mouth. If Dai had put his friends ranger on here for sale instead of going to auction he would have received at least the full £450 in his pocket there was at least two members who would have paid the sum and perhaps a pinch more. On saying that it is easy to be wise after the event.

He received the full amount. He’s an RFD and Holts offered the trade 0% commission to help the gun trade after lockdown. This is why he put some items to sell with them as he wouldn’t entertain 25% + VAT commission rates, so this case he’s done fine.

Didn’t Holts put a very low estimate on that, like £180 or something?
