  1. £200 for six tokens? I agree that would be a low estimate if sold by Saxby's but otherwise...
  2. I'll let him know.
  3. I know who! He doesn't wish to be named, though. Hopefully the buyer will see it...
  4. It wasn't me and it wasn't Dave. So I hope it was one of us...
  5. If you look at the listing it says he's had 15 enquiries - so I'm clearly not the only one.
  6. Already done. I have messaged him detailing the issue and I know that others have. The fact that he doesn't reply or edit the description says a lot about his character, unless he's genuinely not at his computer...
  7. But this private seller wouldn't have a leg to stand on as it'd be them guilty of misrepresentation or breach of contract as the item isn't as described. So, in this case, it doesn't matter whether private or business - he'd still have to accept the return or go to court himself.
  8. Yes, technically. It's a binding contract and so you're legally obliged to pay. However, it's also a distance contract, which means that you will have seven working days to cancel. So it's highly unlikely any court action will occur as it would just be wasting the seller's money on fees.
  9. Easiest way is to copy and paste from somewhere like this: http://russian.typeit.org/
  10. I'd love to see that film! Peter as Sid James, definitely. I'm not even going to try and guess who Hattie Jacques would be...
  11. But you'd need two people for that.
  12. I can assure you it's not me, guvnor. P.S. But maybe someone we know. Or maybe not. It might not be any of us. It might not even be anyone.
  13. Cough. Cough.
  14. This might be a good start for you: http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/penny.html
  15. I buy a coin and if it comes with any such details, then I'll note them. I don't buy slabbed grades or names. But having provenance on coins going well back into the 1700s is an added bonus!
  16. Apologies, Richard. If it's any consolation I can often remember where I've bought something...
  17. I very rarely record where I've got a coin from. I will only record it if from an auction house or notable collector/dealer, the only other thing that comes into play is a findspot and whether it's published in the BNJ, the Numismatic Chronicle or, more likely, on the EMC.
  18. I'm not sure I see the resemblance.
  19. Ah, you've got Dave's problem too - the AyePhone.
  20. Is that a specifically Jewish sylloge...?
  21. One of my favourites is: "Which size shirt are you? My friend saw you buying a large, but I thought you were a medium."
  22. I've been laughing at the trending hashtag on Twitter tonight #AskDerekAcorah. Such gems include: "Seeing as you are an expert on the spirit world, can you tell me how much absinthe is in Tescos please." & "If a ghost looks wonky do you have to use a spirit level?"
