Still licking my wounds after the auction

GNR 206 River Liffey

Congratulations, Dave, that was peanuts. Well done for spotting it! I assume that you bought the name as well? It was even more unbelievably cheap.

Obviously a certain gent in the Isle of Man wasn't paying attention and missed it. He paid £25,000 for a S Class nameplate last month.

Also congratulations to whoever got a complete run of the IRRS Journal for about £300!

I was wondering the same, also, what about some of the engineering books on steam locos, etc? I hope they have ended up in a good home

They would want to look at their prices again if they want them sold.

I was there today collecting some items and was asking what would happen any lots that didn't sell and they maybe included in any upcoming auctions of their normal stock .

If there were any items that didn't sell that anyone was interested it would do no harm to give them a ring of send an email and perhaps make an offer and you never know .

Yes - good thinking. I have heard of that happening in other auctions too, though in answer to Jim's question, the normal procedure is that the auctionerr just gives any unsold items back to the owner. Years ago, when my late aunt departed for the great inchicore in the Sky, she had an art collection. I brought them to Ian Whyte in Dublin (Whyte's art auction) and the few that didn't sell came back to me, and remain in my attic since....

Making an offer may work, there is some good stuff still there, but do it soon before the items go back.

That's what I did to buy the painting of the Turf Burner (Ross's in Belfast). I had forgotten to bid altogether, it didn't sell, so I made an offer a little below their "From" price  and that was accepted. I still had to pay their commission! In fairness to them, when picked up by a friend (who incidentally bought the "Liffey" plate at this auction) they had wrapped it up very well in good 'oul bubble wrap. Incidentally, I'm delighted with my purchase which was a gift to Son No.2, who named after the Blessed Oliver.
