Auctions are a bloody waste of time.
I used to go occassionally when it happened on moseley road. It was easy to go and quickly view the stash of bikes. Been to the one at biddle & webb once, people were paying double-triple what most things were even worth second hand.
You have to buy a bidding number/catalouge & pay a fuckload of tax & commision on everything. If you want a punt I thoroughly recommend just leaving a comission bid.
If you spot some good shit one week, buy your bidding number, leave a bid on a handful of stuff. Auctioneer will then bid for you like Ebay and contact you afterwards.
The antiques & art can be quite interesting to just go and view sometimes.
