Tomorrow is the first auction in the Autumn series starting at Itchen Abbas Village Hall. We have some new sellers bringing along items from a house downsizing and an workshop clearout. These will be as diverse as ever: a metal cutter with 20 x 300mm discs PAT tested, a portaloo (unused), a stainless steel fender rack, box of wooden woodworking tools, an Early Learning Centre noisy house and who knows what else. Cycles are also welcome and I know of one refurbished girls bike that is coming.

If you are selling, please add a description (and image) of the items as a comment to this post to promote them.

We have space for a few more sellers. Please contact Claire on 01962 734941 to book a table or floor space.

Auctions in a Day

4 months ago

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.Silver items sold at an auction some time ago. ...
