Re: Elephant House Auctions
The FAQ make interesting reading, especially the one "Will I be able to physically view the items that are for sale?" Which in itself raises more questions than it answers.
However the most obvious Frequently Asked Question "Fees?" That's not there. And "What if I sell my machine privately after having left it with you for some weeks? Are you expecting me to pay you to get it back?"

Re: Elephant House Auctions
here's to hoping it will have a wider reach? I have posted ads on this site but I don't think they get many eyeballs.
Maybe he'll start talking about IRL auctions more once the vaccinations are more widespread

Re: Elephant House Auctions
Is the idea like a sealed bid auction? As I seller you want top money as I buyer you want a good deal. No one wants to pay retail prices unless you are desperate for a particular machine. Some kind of selling is better than none until live auctions can return.....

Re: Elephant House Auctions
Just trying to get my head around Steve's latest project he announced yesterday:

Looks interesting as you can still touch before you buy but I still prefer the buzz and competition of a live auction

Re: Elephant House Auctions
when it first came out I liked the look of it,now Im not so sure. One thing is for sure though,we will know when its about to start...machines will start getting removed from Ebay again
Re: Elephant House Auctions
Although I have bought machines from Steve when he ran at Huntingdon racecourse and also at the Elephant house, I would find it impossible to sell as HE never answers his emails or phone !
Once tried to sell a very collectible pinball (£1500 to £2000 ) with him and gave up, put it on eBay.
Also if your machine is at the elephant house, for people to inspect and buy, for several weeks, IS IT INSURED?

Re: Elephant House Auctions
skullduggery ! Steve Hunt! the very thoughtAre you suggesting there’s been some sort of skullduggery in the past ?
Re: Elephant House Auctions
Good point, but if the EH does not cover it, how many have cover for 'items away from the home' on their home insurance policy? For a lot of policies this is an extra.scorpa163 wrote:IS IT INSURED

Re: Elephant House Auctions
usually, items away from home need to be in the vicinity of the owner to be covered and/or individually listed. Also, I'll bet a lot of us have had machines damaged while on show at auction rooms, keys lost, cash boxes stolen, glasses broken etc etc
Re: Elephant House Auctions
What we all want is for Jerry and Jeremy , and Steve to start running proper auctions as soon as possible. BUT not on the same day.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
I meant to ask this question direct to the J’s, but while a topic runs... Are there any thoughts on an auction this year, as we will all be allowed to hug in June, and maybe an early one would beat any lockdown risk by winter, maybe July ish..? Just a thought, as none of us are going abroad this year.
Re: Elephant House Auctions
Prices might be high in those circumstances.
People discouraged from wasting money on foreign booze-ups might spend it on something useful instead.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
You could consider, if you have the option that is, to both buy and sell machines at the same event. Nothing ever guaranteed at auction, but maybe a consideration.

Re: Elephant House Auctions
As Ryanair's Michael O'Leary said at Christmas on the same lines we could have jab and bid auctions!! No jab no bid. He was told off for the campaign though

Re: Elephant House Auctions
I had a quick look at the collector connector website. I may have this wrong but it seems like all the past auction results are gone. They are retrievable but you have to pay a subscribtion fee which is £10 pcm. Is this correct?
