Matty89 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Did anybody place any sealed bids? Just looking through as some of the prices are beginning to roll in and awaiting to see if I win any of my Cartridge Lots as I'm interested in beginning to collect older cartridges. Did really fancy the converted Lee Enfield .410 but without seeing it I couldn't. Secretly hoping now I only win a couple as I got carried away during the festivities whilst placing bids and entered sealed bids on about 20 lots.

Was wondering when I would find out as it's my first sealed bid with Holts. All of my 'active bids' which were previously there a couple hours ago have vanished from my account and there is nothing in the 'auction purchases' section. I'd assumed i'd been unfortunate enough to win nothing but will keep an eye on it in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feltwad Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I would say that Lot 2824 made a good price £710 plus commission almost twice the amount of the estimate Feltwad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty89 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I got my invoice to, some people must have either forgot the buyers premium or happy to spend a bit more. I only won one lot and I didn't mean to submit the price I did so overpaid I think. Something different to display though.

Eley War Issue 12ga Smokeless Paper Case Cartridges I think a lot of folk must forget the premiums etc. I had bids on 2 items. 1 needed parts to complete. By the time you added the cost of parts (even as trade cost) it would have been cheaper to buy the Item from a dealer and save the bother of rebuilding at the price it went for. The second I can walk into the local gunshop and get the equivalent at the same price or lower. Go figure.

nagantino Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I've only bought once but it was a good experience. I was interested in a Lee Enfield SMLE. I bid £115 and got it. Locally I was asked £800 for one. I rang Holts who went and got the rifle and described it over the phone. I was happy. When I got the gun the front sight was loose and was replaced by me. I would not have expected Holts to notice that. I was emailed immediately by them a bit like eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I enjoy open auctions where your scanning the half nods, winks and ear scratching to see who's bidding. Thrapston used to be a good one, is it still run? Bought my Remy1100 16gauge from there, the other bidder was stood right infront of me Edited January 22, 2018 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local RFD puts those guns he can’t get rid of through the auction houses. He says it always amazes him how they often go for more than they were priced at in the shop.

theshootist Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 The Christmas period Holts sealed bid is always a dangerous auction for me. I as fortunate only two of my bids came through. A boxed Baikel target pistol complete with "Made in USSR" instruction booklet and a Winchester Model 50. The Model 50 failed to sell in the last auction and went in again this time. I had a look at it in the December viewing and it looks barely used and is built like a semi-auto Model 12, "like a tank" etc. I dated the serial number to 1954.
