Subject: Lagondas at auctions versus direct selling
At the moment (April 2013) there are numerous Lagondas for sale at auctions. It is a pitty that before doing that they are not announced for sale by the owner on this forum or otherwise on the internet (private advertisements for free) or for a few pence in the club newsletter. If it failed to sell this way he still could give it to an auction.
Sometimes we receive an email from the owner that his car is for sale at auction immediately after he gave it there. This is very nice for the auction houses but without giving them that significant premium the (not always riche) members of the Lagonda family would have a better chance to buy the car.
Is an auction such a big help and price increase also for the seller? Or does it mean when it goes to an auction it has already failed to sell directly (if not announced in public but at least mouth to mouth)?
