The results from the past 30 days have seen DNW sell more lots than ever before in such a short timespan and we also welcomed a substantial amount of new buyers from all over the world.”

He continued: “The introduction of our new online bidding facility also attracted new buyers. The new system incorporates buyers premium – so potential bidders know exactly how much they have to pay, while bidding.”
