swig Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I was a friend of John's for many years. It's lovely to think that his instruments will get out there and be played. If you are the lucky recipient I hope they bring you great pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilEdwards Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The auctioneer's listing still seems to be active - anyone know if this auction took place as planned (yesterday) and if these lots went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenTx Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 SoYes the auction did occur. I watched it live was quite fascinating. Never knew such a site existed. When I saw this discussion I checked it out and unlike many of you I could not resist low balling a bid on the site for the Baritone of 1000 GAP? I was shocked when it came up for bidding and the hammer dropped at 820 GBP. That's the good news. Late Friday I got an invoice for a cigar cutter at 100 Pounds. Which I assume is a clerical error. Will keep u posted. The bass sold for 900 #9/35*8:& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS I hope you did not accidently bid on cigar cutter! it sounds like something that would happen to me! Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenTx Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 To put it lightly I am more than upset with Adam Parthrige Auction house. The item went for a price below my commissioned bid with them and the FORGOT (sure) to place the big. So much for the integrity of Adam Partridge he offered nothing more than "mistakes happen"!

Their tcs & cs, like most auction houses, expressly exclude liability to buyers for failure to execute advance bids. However if I were the seller I'd be very unhappy.
