The contents of Bush House for sale.
Plenty of LS3/5As, LS5/8s etc.

Impressive looking - wouldn't mind one of the Technics SP10 turntables.
I'd imagine they're well used though, and it really is pot luck as it's
unlikely I could check before the auction.

I had a quick look at the site but I can't figure out gross costs -
auction houses tend to bolt on all manner of extras. Anyone any experience?

Thanks, Rob

Its all in there if you look. You pay VAT on the selling price
plus 15.5%+VAT buyers premium.

In other words if you buy a pair of LS3/5As for £400 you will pay
£480 + 18.6% premium or £569.28.

Not such a bargain then is it?

Other thing is you're buying 'as seen' - or not as the case may be. So if
they turn out to be faulty - tough. Or so it says in the conditions.

I'd expect that the BBC staff wouldn't have caned them. At that price
still quite cheap..

If their Rogers ones;)..

Going price on e-bay seems to be not a lot of change out of a grand;!..

BBC speakers are usually driven by such weedy amps it's difficult to
damage them. Essential, really, in a pro environment. Although later
active ones have active protection.
