The Wriggly Monkey Brewery Limited liquidation auction, Malt

[Applesnmore]

Sorry if this is the wrong place but saw this and thought it may appeal.
The auction is mainly big kit but lots 128 to 135 are sacks of malt.

Aww naww
I'm a big car show fan and until 18 months ago, regularly went to shows at Bicester Heritage where they were based.
Would always partake of a pint.

Shame. I thought they were doing quite well - they've been around for a number of years.

Don’t forget. “25 % Buyers Premium + 20% VAT”

Yep, so that would almost double whatever price you bid

Do you have instructions how to make own beer with this malt? I may consider bidding

WTF is "buyer's premium"? Is that just a way of going "give us more money", like the booking fees when you book a concert ticket?

Yup.

Auctioneer charges the person selling commission usually. Sometimes they don't, and charge the buyer a "premium"
Sometimes, they do both.

In this case, a whopping 25% in addition to 20% VAT

But standard rate for physical Auctioneers

25% doesnt' seem unreasonable as a commission that the auctioneer charges... it's just a bit odd/weird/infuriating to go "I'm willing to pay £100 for something" and then being handed a bill for £125.

Mind you, maybe it's different for different people. I know that in America, you get tax added on at the till, so the price you see on the shelf isn't what you pay.
