Auctions Dear Reader, Many a momentous decision have I had to make during my career as an auctioneer, but the following assignment takes pride of place. “Mr Bell! Do you think you could sell our home and the contents in just one week?” Seeing the home was situated in the heart of Fendalton, of exceptional architectural merit, certainly priced to sell, together with superb chattels, there seemed no valid reason why we should not accomplish this unusual task. Naturally curious, I learned that the family, for personal reasons were leaving for overseas within two weeks. My reply: “I think we can. we will certainlv try.” —R.G.B Situated on the sunny comer of Wairarapa Terrace and Garden Road, a more desirable site is hard to imagine.
