Also those big gilded carved mirrors that need repair to the carvings are low prices.

That Francis Bacon (lot 632) for Β£3,400.00 was an offset lithograph β which pretty much means museum poster, quality-wise.
It was also described as mounted (presumably in a window mount), which will be a euphemism for "condition issues" because of the tape used.
Your comment on the price comparison, however, is still a very valid one. When considering the purchase of any work by a currently fashionable, sought-after artist, it's always healthy looking at what else one can buy for the same amount of money.

In terms of profile and prestige among auction houses whose businesses cover Modern and Contemporary Art, I'd classify Roseberys as third-tier or provincial. The location of West Norwood is in zone 3, which is some psychological distance from the centre of London. For many Londoners, it would be simpler (and almost quicker) to travel to Gare du Nord in Paris. I say all this in a clinical manner, without judgement β though I appreciate these words can be misinterpreted as sneering.
You can get a reasonable feel of the place from its website, both the substance and general style. It's a little dull, old-fashioned or traditional, perhaps a bit cheesy. The catalogue photos are relatively poor (too small, lacking in sufficient detail), and the lot descriptions have zero information offered about the condition of the works for sale.
Looking through the pieces this auction house has accepted on consignment will also give you a good idea of what you'd be dealing with. The forthcoming Modern and Contemporary Prints auction, for example, is a real hotchpotch. It has a few interesting items, but plenty of other pieces ("After" prints, lesser works by established artists, works by artists with high-street-gallery popularity like Beryl Cook, "Warhol" Sunday B Morning prints, and random ephemera) which would be quickly turned down by other auction houses that have the luxury of greater choice and option of being picky.
The advantage however is that, when desirable works are featured at venues like Roseberys, they're more likely to fly under the radar. An opportunity therefore exists for picking up the odd bargain β although you may be competing against dealers who spend a great deal of time specifically seeking out these less-familiar venues in order to find deals themselves.
I have heard nothing bad about Roseberys. But then again, given its relatively low profile (and besides what's in this thread), I have not really heard anything particularly good either.
My own very limited personal experience with Roseberys was positive. I'm pleased with the service received, especially since I wasn't a client. Last year, I requested clarification on the terminology used in a catalogue of theirs (i.e. not a query relating to a specific work for sale, which the auction house would have had an interest in promoting). The friendly, clear and comprehensive email response I received came 36 hours later from a director. This also illustrates another advantage of dealing with smaller auction houses, which I'm sure you're already aware of: One is more likely to have direct access to senior staff and decision-makers.

Roseberys Auctions of London π¬π§ , by pressman on Nov 19, 2016 13:26:46 GMT 1, Roseberys got back to me yesterday with some pretty inadequate info regarding some of the lots which I would have almost certainly bod on. There was no way of verifying the condition issues as no photos showed them.
Fairly useless from a buyers point of view and I certainly wouldn't sell with them as they wouldn't get all serious bidders bidding for lots without this info.
The flip side is you could have picked up some bargains if you were prepared to gamble or were able to view the lots in person (which I didn't have the time to do)
