I *used* to - that's where we bought all the BBC stuff from. But their
site must have changed, because it no longer recognises my details
I've registered again, for good measure.
It's worth noting that in order to bid you have to ring up and put
down a deposit by credit card. Then all prices are subject to:
12.5% Buyers Premium
3% Online Premiun (!)
20% VAT
So you end up paying ~40% more than the hammer price.

There's some cool looking stuff on that site... giant (36 mm) taps,
reamers and so on. How cheap do the things end up? And I guess you
then have to go to Basingstoke (for the engineering auction) & pick
the stuff up?

It won't take that long, I registered this afternoon and got the confirmation email about an hour ago, I have a bid limit of ᅵ200
before I have to bung them a deposit. That is currently enough for the suggested electric hack van :-)

So in addition to 35.5% cost extra passed on to the buyer (I'm betting
the seller has to pay fees too), each listing has a location tab so
they're located all over the place?
Still even with the fees looks like there's still some bargains to be
had. If you're able to arrange collection ok.
Any other good engineering auction houses to keep an eye on?

I think all the items from each auction are in the same place....
I've just got my account back with a credit limit of £1k, so I'm OK to
bid on whatever. The flooring does look interesting.
We need to decide if anyone's willing to pick it up from Dorset,
though. They usually only give you a 3-4 day window to collect stuff.
