Sold for £100! Hope that's you PP.

Could be. Not sure when/how I'll find out !

 

[PeterPerfect]

Not me.

Not that easy to get your head around how it all works tbh.

I actually bid the same amount electronically but my bid had to exceed the £100. There is then 30.68% on top of that to pay as well.

Not the end of the world I suppose.

 

[PeterPerfect]

I checked.

It actually went for £110.

To be honest if it were near to me I don’t think I’d have gone more than that unless it had been for a keeper or had better drivetrain/wheelset. With commission and tax that’s about £150?

Did you leave an autobid on easy or a bid direct with the auction?

Auto bid of £90 plus a further bid of £10.

No knowing how much the other bidder would have gone to.

That’s good, at least it means it was a real bidder! I’ve known less scrupulous auctioneers take bids from the wall when someone has left a bid with them that’s higher than what they valued the guide price. I’ve had some real bargains but also been surprised when stuff has gone through the roof. There was a Klein road bike at my local auction last year that had a guide of £100 and went I think for over £600.

£110? I saw the hammer fall at £100. No idea how that works then. Bad luck PP.

Like me the bidder had a +1 bid so it went for £100 +1 = £110. £10 more than my bid.

Ah. Sorry. I see now.
