Take Care.! One business delaying another's start by supplying damaged goods - Dodgy sales covid hustle regs violators. £7400.paid for a usual priced £2500 ebay van at Merthyr vehicle auctions. £140k given to charity by them over time apparently but at what cost to buyers? The problem is hocking off for parts/scrap yard near vehicles as good when they are not, The ''sold as seen'' age-old mug off hoser chant = is not a legal term recognized. Worn out clutch ex-rental van not company as quoted & to add insult to mug off injury the supposed 6-month mech cover guy said they don't cover the clutch as it's seen as a consumable.! = rotten show. Fair play - Sale of Goods Act 1979 (SoGA) state that the goods are as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality.. FAILED ALL.! Date of experience: 16 January 2023

I bid on a vehicle in £50 increments. The auctioneer increased by £100’s! 
I terminated my bidding £400 before the auction ended but somehow i won it without bidding at £8000 instead of £7600 when I stopped. 
I had to pay a £500 auction fee immediately on the spot before realising I was being made a fool of. 
The vehicle is ok, but I’ve paid at or above the retail price on a tatty vehicle which is not a reason to go to auction. 
I would seek legal action if I knew how.
In response to auctioneers.co.uk, 
thank you for your helpful response. 
As above mentioned, you increased in £100’s when I bid in £50’s. 
You’re excuse? I couldn’t be heard! If you couldn’t hear you couldn’t see me bid! 
Taking a non returnable auction fee within seconds of auction end is very obviously a well established 40 year method to make money before people realise what's happened. 
At which point it’s too late, you’ve already got the £500 while they still suffer with exhaust asphyxiation and not thinking straight enough to correctly judge you’re intentions. as for your method for charging people for spotter assistance and still gaining retail price or higher on vehicles that are half that cost in other settings astounds me. 
I was warned by other victims of yours before attending, but disregarded their poor experience as lack of auction experience “which I have plenty of” this is how I know what you’ve done.
By the time you get your instant £500, it’s already too late for your customers. 
I hope you keep verifiable records and cctv evidence to prove my bidding at £8000, as this will be the grounds of my civil case which I will happily post the result of here.
