Havent been to an auction in a while. But over the years have attended many Michael James auctions, mostly in Somerset West and scored many a geluk over the years. Honest, dependable, fast, helpful, funny and thats just the auctioneers. The items on auction are always of high quality. I once bid unbeknownst, against Mr. James Snr.s mother and I won the auction. Still have the R800 designer couch in our bedroom. :-)
