yes, I saw those, Bob. can’t understand why he is putting that marketing charge on………never heard of it before, and I thought that the commission you pay was for that total purpose…..seems as though he’s wanting the cake, with the cherry on top AND eating it as well.
Sadly at the moment I have little faith in the auction business…two years ago, my three r/c steam models went unsold down south……I organised a courier to collect….unfortunately it was the start of the snowy season where everything was grid locked, and the courier was delayed( not amazing under the circumstances).
The auctioneer, a well known TV celeb phoned me to say that if the chap wasn’t there to collect by 4.00pm he was going home and there was no one else to see them off the premises.
He arrived at 4.10pm to find my award winning models sat under the back of a delivery van in an open to the public yard, with snow falling on them……….
i lost all faith from then on.
