    Yeah it was m8. I went to 4k. Wouldn't pay more then that when I could get one in Carlow for around 4700 with a warranty

    That in Bolands? I'd buy there instead, decent crowd to deal with in my experience.

    Two 10 reg Ka's on Merlin stock list at the moment, not sure if for sale tonight. Look like ex fleet but that's just an educated guess.

    Merlin sold three of these in the last 3 months, two in October (4750 each) and one in November (4900), all three ex fleet, all prices plus fees.

    I cannot understand why people would pay retail prices at auction. The same cars were €4995 in Bolands last september. I reckon they are all from a 2010 ex rental fleet. Do people do any research beforehand? And I don't mean comparing prices to Ford garages.

    Joe Public is of the common belief that cars are selling for half nothing at auctions and is full of bargins. So what you get is the place full of numpties caught up in the moment, bidding against each other for that bargin.

    With an auctioneer taking bids off the wall it's a recipe for fail for the punter.

    These two went through Merlin tonight, both were ex car hire. Red one sold provisionally at 4700, blue one bid to 4500 but not sold.

    4700 + fees = 5169.

    WILSONS AUCTIONS

    On 26/01/2013 I bought two lots. (Lot number 1221 witch in the catalogue is a red Pel Job ED 750 Hi Tip Dumper and the second one is lot number 1218 description of the product is a yanmar B15 digger c/w 3 Buckets.

    I attach a copy of my receipt for your information. I am writing to you because
    The product Red Dumper Lot 1221 does not exist you had a similar product lot 1220 witch is an orange dumper and is faulty
    The product does not do what it is supposed to do. And is not the same colour as photo.
    Lot number 1218 is described as Yanmar B15 Excavator c/w 3 buckets
    The lot 1218 has only got 2 buckets
    The products is not as described in the catalogue

    On 26/01/2013 I spoke to Dean but He tells me it is a catalogue error and there is Nothing he can do about it. If I don’t pay in full for the products I will lose my €1000 deposit. I have heard from Dean He has phoned me twice and he is telling me he is having trouble getting a bucket for the digger and asked me could I hold off on-till Monday. I am not happy about this, between buying lot number 1221 and being told it is a catalogue error what I really both lot number 1220 And now it will be Monday before I can collect the digger.it is now Monday late afternoon 8 days after the auction and still no Bucket.
    I am not happy the way I have being treated and I would like my deposit back.
