Do you know those stories where some Joe Nobody buys a Violin at a little auction or yard sale and it ends up being a Stradivarius, or a painting of a couple of blue poles and it ends......well, you get the drift. That won't happen at Scammell Auctions, because they just aren't that stupid, but you can bag yourself a sweet bargain!
I started going to the Saturday Morning inspections (Auctions every Monday) a few months ago now, and soon bailed becuase mornings are meant to be slept through! Fortunately their weekly estate Auctions have their catalogues posted every Friday night with pictures! Even better yet the Monday Morning Auctions are on webcast and you can bid online.....from bed! SCORE!!!!
The auctions usually have 1000 + lots with the first half being furniture and second half everything from cameras to cutlery, glasses and some really odd crap. Definately worth a look if you are after a dining suite, book shelf or the likes, or even if you want to try your luck at buying something cheap then flogging it on ebay!
PS: The hours mentioned are the usual weekly inspection and auction times. They also have special auctions once in a while and are open during the week to pick up lots etc. read more
