I found this auction house on Easy Live Auctions and liked the mix of lots. I bid and won three lots in a timed auction. The invoice, with shipping included, arrived promptly with payment details. The lots arrived quickly (during a time of postal/courier delays) and everything was very well packed in recycled packing (mainly shredded paper) - very sustainable, as is buying second hand. I found the team to be friendly, helpful and professional. I will look out for future auctions.

We spent a lovely few hours here and even came home with a great new table for our living room! There didn’t seem to be a lot of parking but then we found that you can park in the station car park just round the corner. The owner Shirley was very friendly and helpful. They also sell tea and coffee which we thought was a great idea. The team all seemed to work so hard to make the process of buying and selling a slip stream process.
