Early signs indicated an ‘all or nothing’ market at the Goffs UK Breeze Up Sale, with only 10 of the first 20 lots selling. While they included two six-figure sales, the median price of £23,000 demonstrated the weakness of the middle and lower end of the market.

Thankfully for vendors, the median increased as the sale progressed, as did the clearance rate, but the difference between winning and losing remained immense.
