You moved the decimal point! The figure I see is £250,000 - well below estimate.

Still no underbidders after my photo either Sad

It was unsold whatever the Saleroom has reported. They do not put "Passed" every time.

Anyway apart from that, pretty happy with how my day turned out - 4 of the 5 lots I was selling went for good prices & just one didn't hit the reserve but may have a buyer on commission.

Buying I got 3 of the 5 I really wanted, unfortunately two lots included v Chelsea so on a bit of a hiding there. Does at least mean I turned a profit and still have a few spares to shift on ebay next week
