It's actually no different to just looking at the same coins on their website. Don't even know what they've fetched. I had a couple of bids on items today .Entered through easybid . Have no idea whether they have won or lost . Is there anywhere that shows what lots have went for ? Quote

Peckris 2 Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 12 hours ago, Paddy said: I have heard them mention "Saleroom" on Bargain Hunt several times, so I assume this is Saleroom.com. The choice is up to the auctioneer, so I imagine some also use Easylive. I know a lot of auctions now have both going independently, with room bidding, phone bids and commission bids it gets quite complicated for the auctioneer! I think I've only ever once seen a BH auction using different software? Quote
VickySilver Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 I skipped the whole business even though there were some lots of interest....... Quote

Well, it sort of was a live sale, as there were a few phone lines open, and so lots had a defined closing time. You had to pre-register which lots you wanted to bid on, as they skipped lots which no-one wanted to phone bid on and just decided them on commission. Most of the time I was just bidding against commission bids though. Quote
Rob Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I didn't get anything, but only put in low bids given there was no way to view. Quote

Never mind there's always the st James's sale coming up I guess 1 Quote

Quote ---------- Original Message ---------- From: "info@londoncoins.co.uk" <info@londoncoins.co.uk> Date: 29 June 2020 at 17:30 Subject: One Million Four Hundred Thousand Pounds Lockdown London Coins June 2020 auction which took place during the lockdown was our best ever with a total sales of over £1.4 million. The demand for material from our buyers was almost overwhelming with record breaking prices recorded in all sections Paper Money, Hammered, English Milled, Royal Mint and Cased Items, Gold Coins, GB and World Slabs and World Coins. These results which are now available on our website show the strength of our business model. We have been running auctions since 1994 and still to this day have clients who bid with us that were active in 1994, as well as tens of thousands more. We are taking consignments now for our September sale and can confidently tell you that whatever the Government’s advice is in September whether our auction takes place as Bracknell or in our premises in Kent (as it did for our record breaking June auction) we will continue to get record breaking prices. So please contact us now, to discuss consigning with us. Regards London Coins Auction www.londoncoins.co.uk 01474871464 Quote
