CaptC Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Pyles can be a cornucopia of "goodies" - Good old fashioned sales that have been dragged reluctantly into the digital age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buyers premium is a total and utter scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith 66 Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 A buyers premium is how auction houses earn, how else do they make any money? Its all about shifting stuff that people cant sell any other way. Its business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private sales and dare I say Armsfairs, can be a cheaper option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith 66 Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 I just had a look at several houses T&C's, Holts doesnt seem to list a sellers premium though i might have missed it in the pages of prose! Buyers commission 25% Anthony Cribb lists a flat rate sellers commission of 15% & Buyers comission of 25%, Then of course you will pay 5% vat on the premium. Most auction houses are charging similar including local ones. In the end nobody has to use them & we all know a private sale is (or was) the best way to acheive a top price, Trouble is finding the buyer, its why auction houses exist. A couple of years ago i had to get rid of Dads camera collection, about 35 good quality cameras some of which he had thought valuable, In the event they proved harder to shift than guns, I ended up selling them to a dealer (london camera exchange) They gave the best price by far but they only fetched a fraction of what dad had thought they were worth, Dealer will offer 30% on anything as his markup has to cover his costs & profit if any, It was better than dealing with a load of scammers & loons on ebay or fb marketplace! Someone has to pay for the range rovers & driven days...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPGUN749 Posted April 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 The Hatherleigh sales are 20% on the hammer price,possibly VAT is built into that,but bid £100 and pay £120.If you decide what something is worth to you and only bid say £83 for a £100 item it’s fine.

Depending on how you buy from auction results in the cost if you attend then it is is the 20% plus vat if you buy online it is a extra 6.24%then if you cannot collect then it becomes a courier if you can find one has most will not carry any type of firearm or weapons, if you do find one the cheapest will be £60 including vat but most will be £90 plus VAT and more north of the border.
