Friendly helpful staff who explained the auction process when I went to buy. Lots of interesting household items and collectables every week. I've now sold things through Abbeys as well and this was a quick and easy process.

I'd not really considered an Auction as a place to buy things for my house but after experiencing an Abbeys Auction I'm now a convert. Every Friday they have an auction room jam packed full of everything you can imagine. The range of goods is huge and includes antiques, good condition second hand items and some new things from wholesalers. The team at Abbeys are cheerful and really helpful. I went on viewing day ( they are open on Thursday for viewings till 7pm) to look for a sofa and they gave me an indication of what price range my item would fall into and what time it would be auctioned. I then went back on the Friday Auction day to bid (which was a real buzz) and I ended up with a fabulous original 1970 retro sofa and two comfy arm chairs, in perfect mint condition, for only $400. Plus a couple of other great bargains. I'm definitely going back for more!
