    I was suspicious about whether this was really an auction before attending because of several factors: All vehicles have warranties, no private enties, van sale on a Saturday. On arrival I was more suspicious. There were no trade buyers and all vehicles had been touched up and had auctioneers adverts on them, like the ones motor traders put in rear windows of cars.

    The sale was attended by a handful of punters, yet every vehicle was apparently getting strong bids with barely a soul in the room showing any interest. When I say strong bids I mean in excess of retail prices even before the vat and buyer's commission. On the subject of the buyer's commission, it was far more than usual for an auction.

    I went to an auction in Measham a few days later and it only served to confirm my suspicions that Merthyr Motor Auctions is a total SHAM. The prices were less than 50% of those at Merthyr. I believe (know) that the auctioneer takes bids 'off the wall', it was so obvious. Most annoying was that I made a 250 mile round trip, something that they encourage. They even give instructions on how to fly to Cardiff and rent a car to get to the site.

    If you are looking for a motor auction to buy a trade price vehicle then this is NOT the place.
