I went to look round today. Most of the lots was in one warehouse and you needed to walk through another to get to the artist showroom bit upstairs. What I though was weird was how the second warehouse had tons of kit in it not for auction? I reckon a lot of the stuff will have issues, all the Budda amps looked super fresh but on closer inspection you would notice chassis screws missing etc. Some stuff had euro plugs etc I dunno... I'm gonna pass on it all as I have no fixing abilities, just too risky.

Yes, I went along, too. Seeing the taped-off area full of unused stock that's not in the auction was very annoying. I guess they prefer to sell that stuff through other channels.

The stuff that is up for auction was variable in quality. The chap I asked about how likely the equipment was to be in working order said "don't know". And some of the bits I am interested in have already gone above the sensible bidding level (accounting for the VAT and buyers premium).

im starting to think that there is no bargain hunting in this at all.

 

looking at my wishlist today has really put me off. One 1 line amps, there are some that have bids as high as £280 (still a great price compared to new or second hand) which has met the reserve price...but then there are two others that have reached $110 and £140, but have also met reserve price.

 

i have a big issue with this, because, although £140 (even plus the fees) is a silly low price, there is no detail as to why one would have a reserve price in the late 200's and another in the early 100's. So the person that wins the amp for £140...is he/she getting a headshell and bunch of knobs? or is the amp just in need of a retube? or does it have slight cosmetic damage??

 

i get this is probably standard process for auctioneers, but you can't buy in any confidence with these huge unexplained differences in reserve price.
