Thought someone living near Marchington might find this interesting.
Note that although there is online viewing and bidding, John Pye do not deliver or ship items so you will need to travel to collect anything you buy.

Regards

I pays to  do allot of research prior to the auctions, and don't forget to add on the 20% charges. And stick to your guns (ooops)

When is the sale taking place wed  think Melbourne gun and tackle  have had the cartridges 

[Alycidon]

Be aware that there is 20% commission and 20% VAT added to the hammer price,  thats 44% in total.  So things need to be very cheap.

When I went in there as a customer late last summer it was very much shotgun orientated.

I may be wrong but I thought that the VAT was only on the value of the commission, making a total of 24%. Still something to bear in mind when bidding.

As above .  The VAT is in the commission not the purchase.

Looks to be a fair amount of stuff in the auction but as is often the case I can imagine that prices will exceed retail on much of it. Something about auctions that seems to make people lose control.

Should that not be £140 , or is there other charges to.

[Newbie to this]

£100 + 20% = £120 

£120 + 20% = £144

Edit - that's assuming they charge VAT on the fee

Vat on commissions =£124 

Or 

purchased price £100+ commission=£120+ vat on commission =£124 

unless stated differently on any of the lots

I have bought other stuff off john pye please be very careful this auction may not be too bad as its all new stuff, but stuff I bought in the past was either not working or had lots of bits missing rendering it useless also when you bid with 10 seconds left it suddenly jumps to 3 minutes again to give other bidders more time its not like ebay the clock keeps going and going.

Also rumour has it staff bid up the items as I have seen stuff sell that I was outbid on only to see it appear in the next auction the following week

Read the reviews here https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.johnpye.co.uk before buying but please dont get carried away

I was collecting some stuff and there was a massive row in one shed where a customer had paid for an Item as you have to pay before you are allowed to collect it and when he picked it up it was broken but he viewed it 3 days earlier and it was in good order lets just say the staff are not very careful with the items when moving them around

the correct price is a £100 item winning bid will have a total invoice of £144 taken from joyn pye website see below

[shawn9914]

lots of these lots already above ebay / shop prices if you add the hammer fee then the vat just mad

 

[TIGHTCHOKE]

Looks like some peoples judgement was left behind when they considered bidding.

[rovercoupe]

Just worked out final fees on a couple of things and with the bids on them are allready over the ticket price clearly seen on the photos of the items! 

I love a good auction like this, been to a fair few that end like this and it allways makes me chuckle.
