It wasn't just that that caused the 25K bid mate, there was a 30 back IG-88 in there too :!: The combo of the two caused that massive bid. Total including fees £32,500 :!: :!: OUCH
It didn't look to me like the poor bundling choices, risky no returns policy and lack of viewing put people off bidding, prices seemed high across the board. I often see this on eBay, it's the worst listed items that go for the most money because people assume they will 'go under the radar' but then end up sucked into a bidding war! Whenever I put anything on eBay with an essay of a description and a dozen photos, nobody is interested, maybe I need to give the half arsed approach a go :lol:

That still seems to be really high to me although I'm not sure if the IG-88 was on the rarer 30 back (can't remember if the A or B is scarce?).

Anyone know how much the Dengars went for?

£3k when i saw it last, but not sure if it ended on more.
the auction had a terrible lag that lost me an item I was half interested in.
I was surprised that you could retract bids, as that was mentioned in comment on facebook !

Agreed, but so far out of reach for me and most other collectors, hence the face.

Wait, they were left this house by their neighbour?! Then they were just going to bin them all but thankfully thought better of it. That's one incredible story although I'm not sure if I read it right but did they get £250K for that lot but it sold for £410? That's one hell of a profit Astons made (as well as the tax man I'm guessing).

You don't happen to know if they are going to be split up now, do you?

The auction house cost the seller a lot of money - if they'd have done a half decent job of cataloging everything correctly and spacing out the lots over 2 days I think they could have made substantially more. But then Astons were closing down anyway so that's why it was such a smash and grab style auction - very little went cheap enough for anyone to make a turn on some of those lots - some stuff went way beyond what you can pick it up on ebay for - madness.
It's proof, if any were needed, that stuff is still out there, waiting to be discovered.
