Are you a BBC 6Music listener? Strange question to come out with? The reason I ask something like that on this Auction Alert post, is because 6Music DJs all play music that is an ‘eclectic mix’… and so are the lots in the sale we’re featuring this week. Furniture, jewellery, paintings, textiles, clocks and books are just a few of the types of items on offer.
