Very good, enjoyable to read and informative. No comments on style.
The generic explanation of how auctions work could be an entry on its own.
Any idea what the total yield of this auction series was? (or did I just miss that?)

smiley - cheers

Excellent entry!

The one suggestion I'd make is surely you've gotta include the words 'waiting for the hammer to fall' in there somewhere smiley - winkeye

smiley - laugh This is fun, even though I'm not a particular fan. And what a great idea, to make the auction also a celebration of the person.

I spotted one thing:

>>Some items, such as furniture and ornaments were laid out in 'rooms' like they would have been in the house.<<

That really needs one more comma - after 'ornaments'.

I have another suggestion: could you put the quote about wanting to be a Victorian at the beginning rather than at the end? It would help any reader who (like me!) didn't know this to be able to make sense of the growing list of bizarre but intriguing possessions being sold here.
