It's a platform hosting auction house scams
As a platform for auctioneers, you would expect a degree of vetting. Very disappointed to learn that they do not care about buyers being scammed by auction houses, and will take no responsibility for your loss. Perhaps not surprising as that's how they make their money. They should be ashamed of being associated with Alexander Aurelius auctioneers who hide behind the 'unchecked clause' and send any old rubbish to the buyers. Reported to Trading Standards and the Police.

Basically, a total waste of time
Waited 5 days for the end of the auction, had the highest of 20 bids, waited until the seconds countdown to finish and lo and behold, the following message was displayed:"Auctioneer has chosen not to publish the price of this lot". Basically, they decided to withdrawn the item on the last second of the auction. A complete waste of time. Avoid using this auction site.

Honest, Fair and Upfront
Universal Auctions have been really excellent throughout. Have bought and sold large plant on there and they've been honest and upfront and extremely helpful often working to very tight timelines. Adrian has been excellent and is honest and upfront in his dealings. Great service, wouldn't use a different Auctioneer. Fair fees also, highly recommended.

They are advertising auctions for Asset…
They are advertising auctions for Asset auctions which are entirely fictitious. Bought a camper van, paid £20k and it turns out the van doesnt exist. They used pictures from the internet, then go radio silence when it comes to collecting the goods.
Its a miracle these guys are still trading. Its a con.
