1 Every month we are offering for sale, up to 200 lots. The price range is from a humble R100 to R3000 and more. By not bundling the books we give the customers the opportunity of buying the item they wish to purchase without having to take away four other items that are of no interest which incur triple the cost. bmartin@westgatewalding.co.za or for commission bids or books@westgatewalding.co.za advice. HOW OUR BOOK BUYERS ARE MISSING BARGAINS! Each month we you a catalogue of collectable books. A few of you attend the auction in person, leave commission bids or bid telephonically, the latter two categories of buyers lose all along the way! The estimates given are purely estimates nothing else, 99% of the books are to be auctioned at any price, in many instances the books fail to reach the lower estimate. If you had been in the auction room you would have noticed that a book that you had considered too high to bid on, actually could be bought for half the estimate, such books are snapped up by those present at the auction even though they had not considered buying them due to the pre-sale estimate. The result: lucky customers who attended and a whole lot out there who missed out!! We look forward to your attendance at our auctions this year. 1.
