January 4, 2023We have some important information regarding making payments for items won at auction as well as registering/approval to bid in our auctions. Please continue to read this update for more information… ‘Pay Now’ Link Reinstated: As of tomorrow (Thursday 5th January) you will once again be able to pay for any lots won via card online through our website using the ‘Pay Now’ link. You will still be able to make payment via Bank Transfer if this is your preferred method however we expect that using the online ‘Pay Now’ feature will be your main form of payment once again as we revert back to our previous invoicing structure. Registration/Approval to Bid: When registering for an auction and having approval to bid in auction we have also reinstated our use of the 0.10p check on cards, meaning you will have to once again authorize your registration to each auction via your bank. As before, the 0.10p is not taken from your account. Please also ensure that your card address on our website matches what is with your bank, as if there is any difference you may be subject to rejection by the system.

To avoid being left in this state during an auction please register to bid as early as possible as we regularly check prior to an auction starting and over a weekend, so if registering during a live auction you could be left for some time before we notice you are stuck as ‘Pending Approval’. We hope the above information is helpful and look forward to seeing you online at our next Thursday auction online tomorrow from 9:00am. Many thanks, The Wellers Team [...] Read more...

November 15, 2022Almost one month has passed since our last collective sale at West Meon. It has given me long enough to reflect on what was an exciting day for all. It was 8am and the gates had just opened, a constant trickle of cars, vans, trucks and trailers filled the car park. The weather, just about staying dry threatening to rain storm any second. The usual hustle and bustle had begun, the queue for the chuck wagon was building and the first auction was about to kick off. Mike Higgins kicked the day off at 100mph selling our top row of timber, a material that has sold particularly well all year and it showed no sign of stopping now, with prices ranging from £10 for bundles of cut offs to £300 for small bundles of 3m lengths of tidy wood. Andrew Snelgar took over for the new tools which always draws a crowed to be followed soon after by chainsaws in their new position in the field. Following on form this was around 400 lots of builders sundries and general misc. This section always has a wide, varied type of stock ranging from to weird and wonderful to the highly sought-after. As always, I had the privilege of selling the farm machinery and sundries. We began with an unreserved clearance from a local farm. With a mixture of the good, the bad, and the ugly I can report troughs selling for £20 and £80, cast iron round pig feeders for £160 each, the Woodmizer for 5k, the Takeuchi mini digger for £9k and the very sought-after Shepherds hut for £2950. This sale carried on with a very well kept Ifor Williams livestock trailer selling for over 2k, a Fordson Major for 3k, various cars, horseboxes, ring feeders, cattle barriers, and a mixture of everything farming. Soon after, Tom Lofts went ahead and started our third auction of the day, Rural and domestic bygones and garden features. This auction is loved by all who attend. Almost everyone wants to buy at least one thing from here. Unfortunately for some, competition is too fierce, and they go away empty handed. Apprentice auctioneer Eric Davidson was keen to grab the sale book from Tom and get stuck in and was able to sell some of the beautiful statuary, cast iron garden ornaments and other decorative features. This auction saw another 200 lots of garden machinery including an unreserved stock clearance from a nationwide ground maintenance company supplying Honda HRH 536 mowers, Stihl blowers and chainsaws, pressure washers, and everything in between. Andrew Snelgar enjoyed selling all of it ensuring over 98% of machines changed hands including an almost new woodchipper for £800. This sale is truly a wonderful place to attend whether you are a buyer or seller, if you want a day out at the auction and have a social with your mates. We as a company love holding them thee times a year and have already planned the dates for 2023. Please join us again on April 15th, July 1st, and September 23rd. You can follow everything we do in the agricultural world on our website wellersauctions.com or follow us on Facebook, just search for Wellers Farm & Architectural. If you need a clearance, whether its to be sold at West Meon or on your own farm then let us know. No job is too small, no job is too big. You can contact me on 07966 437095 or robsnelgar@hotmail.co.uk [...] Read more...

October 29, 2022Sale of 18th C. Chinese Vase Antiques Auction   At our recent sale of fine art and furniture we were very pleased to sell a small late entry Chinese vase for a record sum. The beautifully decorated blue and white vase decorated with Qianlong marks to the base was the subject of fierce bidding with 7 mainly Chinese bidders all locked in a heated battle both on-line and on the telephone. The vendor, a local Guildford resident inherited the vase from a family member and regarded it as worthless. He stored it in the back of his transit van for some years and it then spent a further period amongst the weeds in his back garden. During the course of its life it had suffered some damage as there was evidence of some poorly effected repairs. Despite this, bidders pushed the lot for an eye watering price of £63,050 including Buyers Premium. The moral of this story is twofold; firstly never take for granted the value of anything, especially if it is of Chinese origin; and secondly acknowledge that search engines developed by the leading on-line portals will find anything of interest very quickly. If you have anything similar or anything you would like to consign to our auction then we have another sale coming up on Tuesday 24th January 2023, with our consignment window open until Tuesday 17th January 2023. To consign please email our specialist Wayne Brough via 07966 437106 or via email wayne@wellersauctions.com. [...] Read more...

This process should be familiar to customers with a Visa Secure and Mastercard Identity Check. At Wellers, we have ensured that we provide the safest online shopping experiance possible to our customers, as the purpose of having a password-protected authentication system is designed to confirm the identity of the cardholder when a card is used online in suspicious or different than usual circumstance. It also helps to prevent fraudulent transactions and gives all parties in the payment process greater peace of mind.   Next Steps…   If you have a card on our website in your account with us that is not 3D Secure, please add one and this should stop you being left waiting in ‘Pending’ on our website waiting to bid, and instead approve you instantly to bid with us providing all of the details on your account such as billing address that matches the address with your bank and having a 3D Secure card on your account are provided. We hope this helps! Kind regards, The Wellers Team   How it Works   Activate The bank that issued your Visa/Mastercard will activate 3-D Secure for you automatically.
