Long time since I had hammer fever ___________________________________________________________________________________ Remember being at Brighouse BCA a few years ago . Golf GTI and my daughter is bidding on it , In front of me were three typical guys who think girls shouldn't be in an auction . they are verbal to the point of me listening very easy to , Bid her up . Another one , Make her pay . Take her £6k mate . So I nip over the hall say your last bid is £5900 some guys are trotting you , and the last bid went to them at 6k plus fees . They were devastated yelling at each other . £1,000 over CAP which then was a lot of money , Auctioneer saw daughter later and shook her hand 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last MOT looked pretty tragic to me.....£1425 on the hammer so there’ll be another £300+ of fees before they even look at it. They must know something I don’t 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But a crusty 18yr old diesel focus estate! £1,000 at the hammer plus fees? It was sold at £500? There were at least two bidders who thought it was a bargain? Yikes!
