Thread: Ted Rogers Auction

Unfortunately no one is stepping up to fill the gap left by Ted , or Steve from Wellington Antique Arms. The only one left seems to be the Ruahine Branch Auction , as held yesterday .

Other wise it is the small branch auctions at their meetings. The new rules have no doubt contributed , but Ted and Mrs Ted are well into their 80's now and have done a fine job for many years.

We need someone to take up the task.....

Are Wellington branch not having any future auctions?

Interesting prices yesterday at Ruahine. Sporting rifles and shotguns and many pistols they couldn’t even give away. Still some good prices on some of the collectibles though.
Many items not reaching reserve which will Means that price expectations will need to drop significantly.

Global phenomenon I am afraid. Even the really high end collector stuff has taken a huge hit compared to 15 years ago.
