    Assume these items usually sell for the nrp value? What does ‘n’ in nrp stand for?

    I guess the "n" stands for "new".

    Some nice shoes tho..... seriously need to be sensible if bidding, and mentally add about 44 percent to the hammer price to cover fees and VAT. Also no guarantee as to authenticity of any item. But I still might fly by on Thursday

    At recent watch auctions watchfinder must have been a buyer because a lot of stock ended up on their website that was auctioned. They are pushing up prices but also limiting eBay stock etc so making it harder for us to buy second hand.

    Some nice pieces in there even a Royal Oak in Rose Gold and Gold Skydweller. Not my tastes but nice for someone to bag.

    Would they be allowed to sell fakes? Surely they must have authenticated these items?

    Their website contains disclaimers. However I emailed the company and was informed that they are authenticated by 2 experts as their selling counterfeit goods would be illegal. So I stand corrected.
    Btw I am planning to view some of the items tomorrow afternoon and possibly attend the auction. If anyone wanted an indication of condition of any of the items let me know by PM.

    Makes sense, I guess the disclaimer is there just in case the experts were fooled!

    From their t&c's: Potential purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the authenticity of any Lot before bidding.

    Attended this auction this evening, and amazing prices. The dog rough DSSD with no papers and needing more than a cape cod made 6k hammer price, so the buyer paid 7440. Seriously?? Everything else was being bought at close to what one would pay from a dealer with warranty and provenance.
    Who pays these prices? Had also little faith in the company and their "experts" as they stated that a new DSSD black is 11250 stg and that the case is 48mm.

    i think people get caught up in the drama of bidding. been to a few wilson auctions in dublin, and its usually only junk that cant be sold anywhere else usually.
