Want to buy at auction but can't make the sale....

[Rooty]

Hi,

As the title reads really..

I've seen a car on BCA auction view that i'm seriously interested in but i'm struggling to get to the sale due to work commitments. I have spoken to BCA about the Live Online service but you have to have an account which i don't qualify for apparently.

So- what are my options? Does anyone know if you can hire a professional bidder to visit the auction on your behalf?

The auction is in Nottingham on Monday 28th Sept.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,

James

Do they not take phone bids or do you need to see it first?

V8Mate might be able to help you out.

I know the car, condition etc..

Waiting to hear back from them about phone bidding but the girl hasn't called me to confirm yet.

He's an auction fetishist. Check out his auction threads in GG.

I have just bought a car at Auction for my daughter, a Merc. SLK. I also happen to have an online user code and password for BCA.

Quite. And I only pop into the office once a month too!


Sorry OP, Nottingham is outside of my jurisdiction.
