Auction day
Today we headed out to an auction 15 miles from home. The auctions are called auctions in a day and they are exactly that.No catalogue,no previous day viewing so all lots are dropped at the venue in the morning, they are photographed for the auction (they have a screen to show photos), doors open 90 minutes before the auction starts so buyers can have a look the away we go.
This was our second visit to this particular auction and last time we were blown away by how much stuff we could get cheaply.
Todays best pick up for us was this Olympus SLR camera outfit along with 4 other cameras not pictured here
We paid £65 for this and we will be shooting for £200 for this outfit plus another £30 for the other items.
Our other pick ups were bag of old football cards for £8, bag of old event tickets for £13 There were 4 Madonna concerts tickets for 1990 in that bag which have sold on ebay previously for £20 each!!! A box of old football annuals for £10, tray of bric a brac for £5 and a vintage ring for Jen which she wants to keep for herself for £13.
All in all a very profitable day, We should make a fair few quid from this and we also had a good laugh at the auction too. Win,win,win.
