Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Luckner's Auctioneers After Dragons’ Den?
Luckner's Auctioneers appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 7. The business was a online auction house. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2009.
The Pitch
Simon and Gaby Luckner walked into the Den in 2008 with a online auction house. They were asking for £150,000.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Simon and Gaby Luckner left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Luckner's Auctioneers did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2009 — just a year after appearing on the show.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Luckner's Auctioneers Still in Business?
No. Luckner's Auctioneers is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2009).
