We don't sell programs, you can down load it from the website, best to do it the day before the auction so you have the most up to date.

Most of the lots come in much nearer the date, because everyone likes to give the organisers a heart attack and then keep us busy cramming a months work into 3 days.

The next thing to happen will be the auction website will go live, including the submissions form to enable the vendors to tell us what they're selling.

For those who haven't yet noticed, I've already listed the first thirty lots that will be up for grabs at this year's auction. These are early entries, and I shall be unable to list much more until I start receiving some entry forms. So if you have anything to enter this year, download a form and get it back to me (and don't forget pictures).
In the meantime, take a look at what we have so far. !THUMBS!

Just had confirmation that my request for cover at work that day has been accepted - so all being well I will be attending my first ever auction of this kind.

Not going with any specific goal, just to see what it's all about, do a bit of socialising and possibly come back with something nice - might even get talking to someone who has a spare 1D coin chute in their shed... :shock:

!!CHEERS!!

There are now three pages of early lots ready to view. It's just been brought to my attention that page 2 may not have been accessible with mobile devices - that should be fixed now. This might be an opportune time to remind you all that the site is always best viewed on a PC or laptop.
Anyway, the list is coming along nicely, with some great items to go onto page four.
Just a reminder that the closing date for entries is next Monday, so do please get your entry forms in ASAP.

In case you've not noticed pages 4 and 5 of the Coventry Auction catalogue are up.
pages 4 and 5


As usual as soon as the date for entering lots passes the gates open.
So please if you have things to enter, please do it now.
Remember, commission bids, phone bids and the internet are not accepted, you have to be there to bid.

Thanks

Thanks for the latest update: there's still something messed up with the mobile version though, it shows page 4 and then a link to page 6 which is a page of machines that sold, with prices. And when on that page, there appear links to another 10 or so pages!
Works fine on laptop PC though.

Thanks for the feedback, you must be of an age where you can see details on a tiny screen.
Most of us have reached the point where we can comfortably make out big writing on a billboard plastered over the gable end of the house across the road ........ we're just not sure what the hell Vagisil is and are far too scared to ask!

OK, I think it's fixed now - as I've said previously, settings for mobile devices are a f*cking pain.
!!JUNK!!
It will always be correct on a PC, because that's what I'm looking at when editing the site. I have a mobile emulator when editing, but things do sometimes get missed (actually, quite often).
In any case, the site is always best viewed on a PC or laptop.
Anyway, there's more to be added but I shan't do so until I'm able to list everything in catalogue order, hopefully by the weekend.

Unfortunately not all of us have a PC/laptop. I view your site on a mobile phone. That has been okay.

It seems that the auction page has been taken down. Don't know why - is anyone else experiencing this?
