Re: Auctions.

I have been to a few in the past but not for ages. I would be scared to buy anything at auction now because of the epidemic of bedbugs (shudder)

Re: Auctions.

I've never seen any old rubbish at the auctions but then again I haven't been for years either. I too wonder how anyone could have the nerve to sell it if it's that bad. Another thing Dad bought a lot of was brass and copper. Warming pans, kettles, plates, bugles, all in my loft and nobody in the family wants it. I do have something else he bought, it's in the garden. A statue of a naked young cherub boy about 3' high, nobody wanted that either, he's lovely.

Re: Auctions.

I've never been to an auction either, but I imagine it would be very exciting.

That is a beautiful clock, Roxy.

I've never been to an auction either, but love to watch them on TV.

Roxy, your clock is stunning

Mary, I love anything like that in the garden. I have a statue of a girl holding a lamb plus a lovely stone bird bath too.

Re: Auctions.

A lot of people go to auctions to buy to sell. There are so many outlets for selling on these days. If you are an astute buyer you can make a tidy profit.

Re: Auctions.

Thankyou All, That clock has been in my Family for a long while now, that's the only place in this house I can put it. It used to sit in the Hall between 2 Doors in it's own wee Corner in my old House. I miss the sound of it when I'm up in Thurso, but it's the first thing I do when I come back to Perth. Come through the Back Door Start the Clock then fill the Kettle in that order lol.
