Hope he has a high reserve.
Barons have a trick of suggesting a low reserve to get a lot of interest. If it doesn't reach reserve they have the right to have a "bidder" after the auction ends up to 30 days after the auction has ended. The "bidder" obviously only bids the reserve price.
Tried it on with me a couple of years back, fortunately at the time on the website it said 7 days not 30 so I was able to refuse as they contacted me 10 days after the auction. There paperwork they emailed me said 30 days in the small print.
Does look very nice, will be interesting to see how high the bids go.
