What's your location?

dalkieth just outside edinburgh

You could try Bonhams in Edinburgh http://www.bonhams.com/departments/WHI/ or McTears in Glasgow http://www.mctears.co.uk/ but they both have high seller premiums of around 18% plus VAT on the hammer price. Then there is Mulberry Bank in Glasgow http://www.mulberrybankauctions.com/home.aspx with a seller's commission of15% on the hammer price, plus other fees. If you want try an online auction house, then in my opinion Scotch Whisky Auctions is your best bet http://www.scotchwhiskyauctions.com/ with seller's premium of 10% plus £3 per lot to cover handling

Cheers John

There was one in the 13th Auction at Scotch Whisky Auctions that finished in May but it failed to meet the reserve, although the highest placed bid was £880.

You don't have to have a reserve but if you do decide to put one in place then be realistic.

cheers guys, i was hoping to get £800 for it,but like you say the auction fees and stuff seem really steep

[Jonny McCormick]

£800 after transaction costs would be ambitious but you never know. It only takes two competing buyers who really want it...

If you're following this thread, you might want to keep an eye on Lot 446 at Mulberry Bank Auctions for their 26th June 2012 auction http://tinyurl.com/btl42te
Their guide price for this Johnnie Walker is £900 - 1,100. Let's see how it does...

[spatterson]

[Jonny McCormick]

Sold in the room for £950 towards the end of the whisky sale. Looks like the price is continuing to climb on this one, so good luck!
