Hmm, no reserve. Shall we do some crowdfunding?

Put me down for a ‘fiver’. Do the funders get to drive it?

I hate it when an auction house declares all its auctions as "important". I do not see why that would be the case.
Great ERA by the way. Shall we guess - 1.2 million euros?

I guess it is important for the auction house when you consider the money they charge for what is really not a lot of work.

probably like estate agents . percentage charged = high profit .you have to prepare car. bring it along or. if you buy arrange. collection and removal.
estate agents have you prepare home. ( if you want that is) advertise and. sit back and take a nice percentage if sold!
difference being if no sale theres normally no fee!
still nice earner I guess if you own an auction house. wonder if. car. clubs got together and arranged own auctions. every say. 3 months? simple fee to. show car. if. sold small extra fee .fees to pay for costs of providing a hall? field? Marshalls .insurance. advertising.
