Posts: 31 08/16/2009 18:26	Tags : None Quite by chance I will be in London end of september so will be going to Angling Auctions sale in Chiswick. Is it reasonable to assume that prices are lower than what you would pay a dealer? Is the auction house description of a reel correct or is it a case of caveat emptor? Would you recommend buying at auction? Any advice welcomed. steve. Not much of a response to that one! So do most collectors buy privately? I can't imagine anyone being in the fortunate position of being offered a box of full of Hardy out of some old ladies attic these days? Everyone has access to all the dealers websites so can see prices/availability. Maybe bargain hunting isn't the name of the game with reels, being content with buying at market price?

Then us guys on the wrong side of the pond get hit with taxes at customs so its been my experience that no super deals are to be had pricewise. That being said I still buy the odd reel this way cause he does find the gear. Your PM'S will get out of hand when the catalogue comes out with everyone wanting a lot or two looked at. Have fun at the auction,Russ

Also bear in mind the house charges & V.A.T. And by the way bubba remember the photograph of the Perfect you kindly posted for me, well i've had a new handle fitted to my reel & when I get time i'll post a pic and maybe you can give your opinion?

I will also be there looking for a bargain and believe me there will be. Nobody knows everything and over the years I have managed to pick up a few obscure but valuable items. A bunch of Italian reels bought for about £80 sold on the bay for more than £700. A black Record Ambassadeur for £120 and sold on the bay again for $4,000+ A Heddon 1916 lone pine box with a the correct 150 lure for £100 sold for a few thousand dollars. You just have to look carefully and I take a few books in the car to nip out and do some research. The Antique Tackle Observer

Obviously bargains are found in the lots other people don't want - not in Ustonson, vom Hoffe or Hardy. Yes collectors go there, and no Granny's clearout sale nowadays will consist of Intrepid reels, plastic rods and the like, not Hardy brass faced Mk1 Perfects. I think you pay VAT only on the commission, which is often around 17%. I expect I'll be there.

I don't think they would accept junk. The catalogue is available for the September Sale - only a couple off CC de France in this time (one being my own), no Marvels Fairies or Fairchilds that I could see. a couple of very rare reels, quite a few vom Hoffs, a few Cascapedias, and the usual Perfects.

Posts: 150 09/03/2009 15:55	dont forget that freemans is auction only , you dont have dealers stalls there to pass the time in between lots , but you can always walk around the hall , the magnificent staircase lined with beautiful paintings and huge chandeliers are a sight to behold...or failing that , you could just go to the bookies nearby , i think there are 6 meetings scheduled for that date so you can bet all day!! , even if i dont get any reels i will be happy cos i really only go down so i can have fish n chips from "chris,s chippy" haddock on the friday and cod on the saturday ....top class!!

I asked one such about a Perfect copy to counterbalance an Aberdeen, not having funding for a Hardy pre WW. The owner sneared at my ignorance for presuming that such a thing existed. A couple of hours later in the auction - A Carter more or less identical Perfect copy, weighs a ton and a click like a road drill. YES.
