I just heard on the radio that An Post the Irish postal service are holding an auction in Rathmines, Dublin today. They're selling undelivered post. Post with the wrong address and no return address. Never heard of these auctions taking place before.

The DJ got his hand on the inventory. There's everything from bottles of whiskey to PS3s, anyone in Dublin today, PBhartley possibly?

If Royal Mail have an auction I'd love to find out where it is, I'm waiting on something this past eleven days which was sent first class. Anyone been to a RM auction or do the hold auctions?

Royal Mail have been doing these in my area (Manchester) for over 30 years that I know of usually every 3 months.Hav'nt been to one for a long time but they used to be really popular & lasted 3/4 days.

So THATS why mail gets "lost"

Lol, proceeds all go to An Post, no talk of charities.

British Rail & the Police used to run lost property auctions as well.
