Blaze of Glory

Barnes Auctioneers has a bit of pedigree when it comes to selling pop memorabilia.  Over the years we have sold everything from an autograph book signed by all four members of The Beatles to Bob Dylan's harmonica.  This Sunday we will be offering a Squier Fender guitar (pictured) signed by Jon Bon Jovi.  It's extremely rare and highly desirable.  We expect it to do well.  We expect it to do very well. 

Entries for Sunday's auction have been steadily coming through the door of our new office at 71 Yarmouth Road, despite the fact that we are still painting and decorating (the carpet goes down tomorrow)!  We will be hosting a valuation day and taking entries for the auction in between 9.30am and 5.30pm on Saturday so our hope is to be operational by then. 

In fact the catalogue for Sunday is looking quite good.  We will be posting the completed list at 6pm on Saturday and selected highlights throughout the week - simply visit www.barnescatalogue.blogspot.com

It's probably worth mentioning that the problems with our card machine have been resolved and so we'll be back to normal this weekend.  We accept payment by cash (gratefully), debit card (practically). and credit card (but will have to charge you an additional 2%).  We do not accept payment by cheque, instalments, or in Euros.  Definitely not in Euros.

It's been a year of change for Barnes Auctioneers - changes to our team, a change of saleroom, and a change of office (even if we have just moved next door).  All for the better.  It looks like we'll leave 2012 in a Blaze of Glory.
