Rather than sell them but by bit I was thinking of taking them to a local auction.
How does it work? Any idea of the charges and are these even likely to sell?
Check your local auction house online. Their website will give details of charges, commission, etc., and will tell you how to go about putting your items up for sale with them.
12% is cheap - most charge at least 15% + VAT which totals 18%. And with a similar amount as buyers premium the auction house takes about 40% of the sale price. Still if you need to get rid of the stuff...
