Public General Auctions Around Or Close To Leicester?

ninj4z

Hello,

I'm hunting for auctions around Leicester, I've posted a topic before but that's when I had no means of transport apart from public transport.

Now that I've got myself a car, I'm happy to travel to places such as Melton Mowbray, Market Harborough, Oakham, Derby and all other places close to Leicester.

My sister attends auctions up north and gets some real bargains for the house so wondering if I could benefit by visiting public auctions myself.

I've looked in the Yellow Pages, wrote a few down but I'm aware some auctions do not advertise and are not known to many people like myself.

Any help is much appreciated.

Quite the opposite actually- for example, our local auctions have been one of the main sponsors of a county show where in excess of 50,000 people attend over the weekend. But, I suppose this auctionhouse is the largest (and possibly the only) auctioneer of what it specialises in outside London.

If you do a bit of 'Googleing' for searches such as 'General auctions leicester' you will probably find quite alot of places.

It is not in their interest to stay secret, like bowling-4-gold suggests a google search should bring you up a fair few.

Will have a look around on Google, thanks for the advice people

Also if people attend a few around Leicester, feel free to name them, might auction off the things I've got an interest in.
