FalconFN Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 They were fine. Very straight forward and I picked up from one of their valuation days to save on RFD charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Bought a few guns from them. All fine and picked up from valuation days as per Falcon FN above. Not the cheapest auction house out there (circa 22% buyers premium if I remember correctly, possibly more) but good service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Vector Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Current commission rates are: 25% up to and including £5,000 22.5% on the balance between £5,000 and £30,000 20% on the balance between £30,000 and £50,000 15% on the balance over £50,001 VAT is payable on commission at the prevailing rate. Can add quite a bit to the hammer price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Helped an elderly lady sell a collection of rare flintlock pistols (£42k the lot) and they were excellent. Really knew their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 As with all auctions you have to look at the ad ons to the hammer price, Im sure the holts web site has a calculator on it so you can see what you will have to pay before you bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) They were fine. Very straight forward and I picked up from one of their valuation days to save on RFD charges. As with all auctions you have to look at the ad ons to the hammer price, Im sure the holts web site has a calculator on it so you can see what you will have to pay before you bid I have bought and as FalconFN above. Also tried for various other things and been outbid. bluesj has it right as well, READ CAREFULLY, or you will get a surprise ref the charges!

I say, you buy one, you get one free". You could afford a big chunk of cartridges for the commission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
