tauzero Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I assume he's used at least one of these with Whitesnake. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/gardiner-houlgate/catalogue-id-srgard10272 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 And Ian Bairnson's too (Pilot,0 and he played the solo in Wuthering Heights). Including the Les Paul he played on Pilot's hits and for the Wuthering Heights solo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Oh no, these do look nice. I might be able to afford the Squier but probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be able to afford the Squier but probably not Some of the guide prices for the guitars look quite reasonable, but you have to factor in mega-fans getting giddy and putting in silly bids and then you have to ad 32%+ in fees.

rwillett Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Those additional fees are steep 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonK Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I was quite tempted on a few things there until I saw the additional fees - crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I've just assumed that if I was prepared to pay £800 for something then my bid limit is £600 (ish). It's a bit like eBay sellers flogging something for £1 and then charging £10 P&p. Total price is £11. The people who lose out are the sellers here. But everyone has to make a living. No one is forcing us to buy anything here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is forcing us to buy anything here. There's also a seller's premium, of course, so the seller probably sees less than 50% of what the buyer pays. I'm sure that the buyer's premium was a little less than this at the last auction when I bought a Variax guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Forgot that, long time since I brought anything at a "proper" auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyR Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 There are additional fees if you buy via thesaleroom. book a phone bid via the auction house direct and the fee is considerably lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
