Not a member and never attended BVWS auction.
Unless there are two or more interested parties, then a low winning bid is almost inevitable.
Contrast that with some UK auction house results, often with bidders from Worldwide.
There is a current thread on ukvrr concerning the equipment of deceased member Syywave. "Chard auctions".
Just look at those guide estimates shown!
Ok, commission is a lot higher than ebay or BVWS, but very good prices are often realised. Why? Internet bidding and a lot of competition, maybe Worldwide as well are a good start.
Not good if you are looking to buy something very cheaply though.
