A very nice bottle of Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc.

 

[The Big Shrimp]

Having hot water and hot rads! Not the repair bill, mind!!

Gig last night, our drummer forgot the snare stand (She's totally dizzy at times but love her to bits!) So putting my Blue Peter skills to the max, I made one (stand, not drummer) from a bar stool, 6 drum sticks and duck tape. One relieved and happy drummer!

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Had the chain saw and splitter axe in play and I now have an overflowing wood pile ready for the wood burner. All very macho stuff!

 

[RobM]

Ooh, you are awful...

 

[Special Blue]

Cheered me up after yesterday.

Sorting out some of heaps of old rubbish in the family home loft, & found a box of Beswick pottery Birds, which my late estranged wife had put up there.
They were wrapped in 1994 Evening Echo newspaper, we were still 'an item' then, i dont remember us having them, think they were her Nan & Granddads.
Anyway looked up the value on a web site called Antiques Atlas, & their total worth is around £400!
Would be quite happy receiving half that amount for them, but where do i take them?.
Dont do E-Bay, thought of Battlesbridge Antiques centre?.
Anyone on here sold things over there?.

How about trying a local auction house ?

Good idea, thank you. Stacey's have regular auctions, i'll contact them.

They are easy to work with, very professional but they do take a high cut of the sale. Good luck with a good, fast sale.

 

[kaymac]

Yep, think their commission is around 20pct on sales / purchases. Staceys hold regular free valuation days, probably a couple coming up soon, but there's no commitment to listing your item(s) with them. I've bought many items at their auctions over the years, as MG says, they very professional also nice people to deal with..

Yes, definitely go to Staceys, they were brilliant when I had a few bits to sell.
