It's an odd mix of stuff. Some very well toured Avolite racks, pars and lekos and then as you mention, some TV stuff. Strange auction terms too, immediate payment but then no collections for a few weeks which probably means things will go cheap. I can't make the collection date, so won't be bidding myself.

gyro_gearloose Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Indeed. I'd have bid on some of the stuff but I don't have a van to go and collect it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make the collection date, so won't be bidding myself. Like Gyro, I'd possibly have had a bid on some of it if the pickup conditions weren't so strict. I can appreciate that somebody selling a lot of stuff as a one-off is not going to want to dispatch it piecemeal, but the chances of buyers being able to set aside a specific day is slim. Even a choice two days - midweek and weekend? - would have opened it to more buyers and achieved a better price. It might actually have been better to hand the whole lot over to someone who could sell it on their behalf, even allowing for a margin, they would net more than they will this way.

andyparcans Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 can you send details, or has the auction finished, might be worth a look as we are local? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The seller's current auctions are here. Most of the stage lighting kit has ended, but quite a lot didn't sell so might be relisted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
