New Business "La Marina Auctions" due to open 1st March 2015

Hi and welcome to our new business here in La Marina, Alicante called La Marina Auctions run by married couple Paul and Maria. We offically open the doors on our 400m2 auction house on the 1st March situated close to the Saturday market and Iceland/Mercadona stores. We are now looking for new and used items to sell that you want to get rid of, earning some euros in the process!


Best of luck La Marina Auctions, You may of just picked a winner. I do hope so.
Which day (s) do you expect to have the Auctions taking place, When will be the viewing times, What will be the % to pay to sell something, will you also charge the buyer a %. How long will you store sold items and what will be the charge for storage, will you also deliver sold items and what do you expect to charge.
Don't know if you have actually sorted any of these things out, but as you should know, the quicker it is all sorted the more advertising can be done, to get you off to a winning start.

Thanks Alan,
I am literally off to the airport and won't be back in Spain until Sunday so cannot answer all of your questions right now but we get the keys to the commercial unit on Monday morning and will be there 6 days a week between 9am and 2pm starting next Tuesday (20th Jan). The unit can be found by taking the right fork towards Mercadona, turning left before the car garage workshop.
Hope to see anyone who is interested in our new venture soon!!! With kind regards, Paul

Do you have any more information yet?

What day and time will the auctions take place is probably the most asked?

Sorry for the long delay, my sincerest apologies for not responding earlier.

As things currently stand we are going to open during the week and on Saturdays 9:30 till 4 with the auction being on Sunday. We will be open from 10am but the the auction won't start until 11am.

We will be charging 15% on the selling side and 10% on the buying but for the first month or so will be doing it at half price to get things of to a good start.

There will be no charge for putting on a reasonable reserve and monies and deliveries if necessary will be paid out on Mondays and Tuesdays. Until we get into the swings of things and see how things are going I am likely to change things to suit what works best.

I have now (finally) finished painting and decorating but there is still lots to do ahead of our opening. We are putting up fencing this week and installing security. Hopefully next week (if Iberdrola/Aguagest get there act together) we can get our electric and water.

We are desperate to hear from anyone that has things to sell as the week commencing 9th February we will be able to take goods in ahead of the opening on the 1st March.

With kind regards, Paul
