Re: This takes the biscuit

Oh, and postage is extra.
Obviously not much profit in the booklet.

Re: This takes the biscuit

I love it when they leave the images on a decent resolution so you can get 80% of the benefit of the information for free!
Is this one on the Archive anyway?
Pity about the annoying stickers...

Good evening all. 'tis the season of mists, mellow fruit-fruitfullness and madness. Elsewhere on the auction site there's a OO gauge Hornby Diesel shunter 'for spares or repair' £1000!

Re: This takes the biscuit

But what a fantastic idea. Over price everything. If something does sell, big profit for little effort. You could mess around for ages selling bits and bobs for a pittance, or... the chap seems to have a pretty good plan.

Re: This takes the biscuit

The book may be expensive but this looks high at £5m for an Big A7, sold as well.

He must have put the £5m price on it when it sold; I looked at that a couple of hours ago and he was asking £4,950!

I only hope they don't charge him sellers fees on the final sum! That would wipe the smile...

Selling a car you pay a one off fee at the start
