Hi Vazie ;D Yep! I will try and calm down a bit It just so strange seeing people buy pictures that look crap for £1Million+ and then see a Banksy piece go for around £100,000 I think they need a bit of advice

can someone explain how the auctioneer gets to bid? Is he given a commission bid by someone up to a certain value?

[alderevans2007]

I can't hear jack shit! Anyone else got this problem?

[wezzley]

yes mcnuts

[slowmo]

Cant see any of this cos of firewalls. Does the auction go incredibly fast?

[lardy]

Looking at how this lot snap stuff up. Im tempted to stick up the canvas photo print i got at the ghetto a few years back. I reckon id easilly get a couple of grand.

[maus]

thought it would have went for more than that... what other works are up today anyone know?

[johnas]

Hirst's Benzil.....

household gloss paint on canvas 11.5 by 11.5cm

£65K

[birdboxsniper]

the auctioneer makes out its a commision bid when in reality he is just bidding it up to the reserve himself - sounds alot like shill bidding - well it is!! but for some reason it doesnt seem to be that frowned upon in the auction world?
