Title: Blimey!
Post by: rmaddock on February 27, 2012, 11:38:36 am
I'm on tenter-hooks here! I decided to have a clear out so I put various bits of wood and unfinished violin on a certain auction site this time last week on the basis that if I got 99p for them and they got used that'd be fine. Otherwise I was going to run the stove on them for an evening.
However, I'm now glued to the PC watching people spend ridiculous amounts of money on a few sticks of wood!  :o
It'll not pay the mortgage off but it'll certainly bolster the model fighting fund O0.....if I can persuade my accountant, of course <*<

Sometimes, fleaBay's a total pain but when you want to buy or sell realy specialist bits then it's fantastic!

There are actually 10 lots, but the next to complete is one of four partially finished bows:

Indeed, yes. I'm very glad I didn't use it all as firewood now.  O0

Believe it or not.......someone sold an AIR GUITAR on ebay a couple of weeks ago for £140 quid, and then the idiot that bought it gave negative feedback when an envelope with nothing in it came through the post to him..............now which lunatic bought that???? %% %% %% %% %%
