I noticed that lot as well. Mostly seem to be estimate at £50-100.
Some of the lots will take a fair amount of effort to load. Access to the museum is not great..

there is vehicular access to the side and rear of the building but if you have an artic. You might struggle. the deck guns will need some heavy lifting gear.

The large shell they had in Lot 582 made good money
