you could be right

Got to pay for their shooting somehow.
I think they are having to charge as so many other commercial sites don't mind taking their pictures and information to sell on. Such auction historic content has value, and was hard earned. The need for a 'firewall" and all the added software and costs, just means they need to get something from it all.

Hours and hours of fun for £50. Other auction houses may well do the same. Once the extravagant paper catalogues were a nice earner, but they are all on line now.

Wish they didn't feel the need to, but....

Im not defending them but all those good photo's take a lot of time & collating & cost, Im not surprised they are charging for archive access, Otherwise they are giving stuff away for anyone else to use & in some cases earn from. I would charge if i was in their shoes.

I've been known to miss what's in front of my eyes Binners. More than once, someone has pointed out to me something right in front of me. A boxed Crosman 400 was the last one. I think the condition is known as gun blindness and is especially prevalent at Kempton.

Holts photos are a very good quality but with their photos of rifles they seem to have an aversion to photograph the barrel or muzzle end. You could be buying a rifle with a sawn off barrel and no front sight and sometimes the rear sight is missed off too. I don’t know why they do not show the full rifle which would be really useful.

Not just ‘ gun blindness ‘, John. I remember asking my wife if she was still ‘ seeing anything ‘ at the Newark antique fairs. Stuff tended to become a bit of a blur.

And I totally agree with Ali’s comment regarding partial photos in Holt’s catalogue.

Wish I was there today and stand missing anything, Mick
