To be fair, Manheim Shotts still offer good rates, although as ever they are offset by everything from up there needing discs and pads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iain irvine jnr is decent guy so was his father who sadly passed away last year they would go out there way to help you. When it was shotts . In fairness i don't think mainheim is the same since Iain left in all honesty the customer service isn't the same and also a lot of staff leaving etc..when i last attended... Sma was good too I think one of the problems we all face is the market is much more limited now than say ten years ago with bca and mainheim being the main auctions sources with a few online Kevin was good too always was and is helpfully from shotts to sma to.bca Both shotts - mainheim and sma had loads of nice staff over the years Been to Wilson auctions they are ok too I've found in the past . intercity motor auctions in glasgow and perth blast from the past now spent many a sunday there sitting through junk to get the car you wanted .only for it to start up and the dashboard would be like Blackpool illuminations the joys Edited August 17, 2019 by Casper 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TangoVictor32 90 Posted August 17, 2019 Its not the auctions its the buyers. Too many people doing it. Everyone can buy and sell from home "make quick cash innit" Some cars go for a lot more than a private would be selling it ! Plus the false auctioneer bids dont help.

As much as i agree with you about 'enthusiastic amateurs' driving up prices, the auctions love them for obvious reasons. Sadly highest bidder wins is the business model. And dont forget auctions dont see themselves as moral arbiters? Anyone can buy, if you have the money? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
