  1. Indeed Andy. I recently, with others, had to dispose of a late friend's modelling 'estate' and it was a long drawn out and intensive affair but we ultimately got a satisfactory sum for his family. Some years ago, I disposed of a vast collection for a relative of a family friend via Ebay (a lot of work!) and realized over £4000 (including mint boxed highly collectable Wrenn) when a couple of dealers quoted around £800 for the lot. That's the way of it.
  2. An amazing sale. I'm tempted with one item but am mindful of the commission rates .... Commissions*:35.94% Inc.VAT/sales tax which is the norm on auction purchase prices. Last week I bought two lots from a bankrupt stock auction sale and on a purchase cost of £220 I was charged £96.80 in charges, commissions and VATs. We moan, me included(!), about Ebay charges............!

  6. Ah, that reminds me of Junior Sailing on summer Saturday mornings a few years ago. Your Topper sailors are a lot hardier than mine ever were! That picture is the essence of kids having fun.
  7. My late father-in-law removed the last 'n' from his name when serving in WW2 although his father was Swiss. A Germanic sounding name seemed to raise suspicions.
  8. Uugh.. I can't now unimagine that image...! 🤢
  9. Surely it's entirely up to 'one-man-band' businesses as to how they accept payments. I still use a cheque book very occasionally for such things. All those who have bank accounts can request one. Obviously this would not apply to overseas purchasers. For that, the answer is uncertain unfortunately.
  10. Speaking of stops....one of Balcombe yard's long disused sidings.
  11. Looking good there Andrew.😀
  12. One would hope that the law will get him.
