  • Has anyone else stumbled across the auction for all the stock from the retailer Ubyk that went in liquidation. The auction seems to be happening in a couple of days in Scunthorpe and the whole catalogue is available to view online and you can place online bids but it's collection only. The interesting part is the lots seem to have been put together by people with no knowledge of bike parts for example there is a couple along the lines of 'box of assorted cranks' and in the pictures they contain high end Rotor and Sram cranksets as well as a dropper post and random hope hub. There's also a couple of Parlee frames currently sitting at like £500 online bid.... https://www.bidspotter.co.uk/en-gb/auction-catalogues/timed/eddisons/catalogue-id-eddiso10467/search-filter?archiveSearch=False&categoryCode=ITA

  • I seem to remember the last time there was an auction like this people stayed away as it's a 'proper' auction so after the sale price you pay a percentage on top to the auction house too. With the last one the 'bargains' became distinctly non-bargainous once you factored that in.

  • You had to pay 20% VAT on the final bid amount + 15% commission.

    I saw items going for more than you would pay from Wiggle or even your local bike shop. Made no sense.
