Hi Gang,

Maybe someone else has picked this one up, but I've just found a flier from Sweeny Kincaid in my Inbox for this auction:

600 Lots of Stage and Lighting Effects and Associated Equipment

Might be interesting for some.

Can't see any labels as to whose kit is is/was though.
We're here for a good time, not a long time. Let's rock!

I would guess this is HSL selling on the majority of Bandit's stock.

An interesting selection of kit - Perhaps a little too early to see what the reserves are like, but certainly one to watch, and the buyers premium is a little less than the usual 15%.

HSL have just posted it on Facebook, so it must be them

It's HSL from the address

I imagine LP will snap up much of it... I believe a similar auction of Sweeny Kincaid's is where their current stock of Source Four Revolutions came from - nice margins if you've got the means to buy them in the first place ;)

Assuming, of course, that LP can actually find a customer willing to buy them at that price. It's the other overheads (like storage space for all this stock) that starts eating into an apparently fat profit margin...
I'm selling lots of ex-hire and traded-in kit at the moment. Sound, lighting, video, and staging/rigging. More info here.

If I read it right, lots of this didn't sell; is that an indication of the market at present, or just the reserve prices set?

I kept a curious eye on the auction, and there was little to no activity on a huge range of the lots. That said, I didn't watch it til the bitter end, but certainly late Thursday/early Friday it was very quiet...
Hmmm... ™
I had a great business plan ... I was going to build bungalows for Snow White's seven dwarfs...
However, there was just one tiny flaw .............
