A North East auction house is gearing up for a busy summer following on from a hugely successful music sale which saw one album alone go for £4,400.
Vectis Auctions in County Durham specialises in toys but is known for a variety of sales and recently these included its first vinyl event which proved a huge hit - so much so that it is now keen to hear from anyone interested in selling their own music collections as plans are now under way for a similar auction in May.
The debut record and music sale in March enjoyed "fantastic results", it said, with online bidders in hot competition with buyers who turned up to the auction room itself to view a mix of rare finds. These included an original 1963 pressing of The Beatles LP Please Please Me which raised more than the top end of its £2,000-£4,000 estimate, fetching £4,400 which amounted to £5,280 with 'buyer's premium'.
