You know that sometimes during an auction, the auctioneer brings down the gavel to mark the sale of the lot. Then notices out of the corner their eye, as the hammer falls, a last second bid. They auctioneer resumes the auction and ignores the hammer.
We are pleased to say this has happened to Auctions in a Day. The hammer has not come down for the final time. When circumstances permit the auctions will resume under new management. They will still be operating in the same locale. The web site and Facebook page may remain quiet for some time as they are transferred. Please watch out for future announcements.
Going, going, not gone for too long.

After 17 years of fun auctions, it is with great sadness that we have taken the decision to close Auctions in a Day.
This decision was not easy because we love seeing you all and the wide variety of items which come up for sale each month.
Unfortunately, the pandemic continues. We were all hoping that there would be a solution but it is too far away for us to be sure that we can reopen safely in the foreseeable future.
We’ll miss you all, and thank you!
Andrew, Tricia, Bob, Fiona, Claire and Jon

Just in case you have missed previous announcements: There will be no auction on Saturday 4th April at Badger Farm Community Centre.
And probably not for some months.
We are keen to restart and hope you will be too.
Keep your distance and look after yourselves.
All the best - Bob, Claire, Fiona, Jon, Tricia and Andrew ...

Sadly the last auction report for some time. Here are the top fourteen lots from the 7th March. They received bids of £30 or over.
As ever see if you can guess their hammer prices before reading the auction report on the web site: wp.me/p3f2c2-1FS ...
