Bike & stuff auction.

[bruce1530]

An auction taking place at Sweeeney Kincaid, just outside Glasgow. Perhaps some bargains, but always some sadness when I see auctions like this, as it generally indicates a business in trouble.

if bidding, remember that you have to pay 15% commission, plus 20% VAT, on the hammer price.

That'll explain a lot. NeilPryde have gone quiet; I can't get a response from them, not even their windsurfing side. The bike FB page and website have gone as well

I've a 2015 NeilPryde Nazare; a stunning bike but short on parts supply.

I do. What do you need?

Sweeney Kincaid are fine to deal with - I’ve bought a fair amount of stuff from them over the years. There are several things to be aware of.

1. You have to register with them in advance before you’re allowed to bid. Not an onerous process, but can take a couple of working hours.
2. You need to collect the goods on the appointed day.
3. As I mentioned above, there’s 15% commission on these lots, and then usually 20% VAT on top unless you’re VAT registered, so final price will be 38% higher than hammer price.
4. It’s not like an ebay auction where a last second bid can win the lot. If a bid comes in during the last few minutes of an auction, the auction is automatically extended by 10 minutes.
5. If a lot doesn’t meet its reserve, it’s often transferred to their “sell my lot” site, where it can be purchased at the reserve price, or an offer made. The person who made the highest bid during the option gets a time when they have “first dibs”.

Sounds like a road trip coming up

I do. What do you need?

I'm looking at a frameset plus a pair of forks.

Let me know if you need anything, I'm close by.

Well I've bid on a frame without forks. Let's see what happens ...

If I get that I know which forks they use so it'll be that and a seatpost.

Edit: outbid so thanks @Slick but it's beyond where I think is sensible on a frame/forks without warranty.
