Good spot! This was typically the trend of the seller that had 2000+ feedback and sold the £2m worth of gold Kugers that didnt exist a few years ago. Thats the least of it. I would put him on a blocked buyer / seller list. According to toolhaus he has multiple feedback to the same multiple names as a seller and then the buyer. Truly arthur daley. http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/item-fb?User=tonting944&as_Seller=Seller&Limit=0&Search=&Check=Check

Got and do not need Kew Gardens G/guides Boy scouts VC both deed and medal johnson dictionary olympic one with a wheelchair olympic shooting olympic judo olympic swimming the one that is part of the coat of arms Going for swap or face value + posting ( circulated ) VC both the award and Deed Girl guides ( looks like it has only had very little circulation if any ) Johnsons dictionary (2005) coat of arms ( 2008) I did have a lot more but as I didn't think anyone would want any I spent them in the week .

His feedback says a lot too me as well, over 73 with one buyer, 80+ from another and all his buyers seem to be multiples from many of the same names and I have never seen one seller have so many NLR's in their feedback either.

Says i have to wait up to 24hrs before i can play. Best go and start on the Penny pics Dave just noticed you have a typo in the web address in your signature Spoilsport !

Erm that is a rolleicord V Peck, mind you I also have a number of Russki copies of the hass and other brands here as well. Oh and a number of them new fangled Yashica Mat's and canons and erm, yeah, enough !. What was the difference between the 'Flex and the 'Cord anyway? I never used any TLR except the aforementioned Lubitel, so I'm not an expert. What I do remember - and lusted after at the time - was the very nice little 35mm compact that Rollei brought out in the early 80s. My first 35mm camera was the Zorki 4 - a very competent imitation of the pre-war Leica III. No lever wind, no meter, and a shutter speed dial from hell, but a great rangefinder and some very good lenses. I still have it, and its standard 50mm lens (the 135mm and 35mm lenses must have got sold off years ago). The flex had better lenses, bodies, auto cocking and wind of the film ( cords had a knob to wind te film so was not as fast as a flex when shooting), the cords also had no metering on them and the view screen was not as good or clear. Other than that just personal preferences I guess, I like the cords as they are cheaper to buy, but if I was to buy a rollei and mmoney was not a thing I would have a flex, I have a small 35mm Rollei round here somewhere, and one of those russian spy cameras as well, though how a spy hid that thing I don't know, they aren't exactly small. I have to go in the loft this week to sort it all out for selling so will take some pics before I do.

I don't know what is going on around Newbury, but there is a hell of a lot of new unc decimal issue around the town.

Dear Ebay police, this letter is to tell you that accumulator, ColinG and Azda are all the same person and are shill bidding on a penny coin owned by Rob. Right, now their taken care of - £5.

Back off boys lol 31 quid Typical, always the rich that get the goods.

Not ebay but Put that in your pocket and then ask why eveyone is leaving the lift !. http://coins.delcampe.net/page/item/id,145769513,var,GREAT-BRITAIN-1-FARTING-1908-1217,language,E.html

+10% on top from me.

I nearly fell of my chair then. Clarification from a tax officer !.

just the domain name first, when you get webhosting it wil usually be part of that package that you can set up an mx I do anyway, but I used to host my own sites for free with freedns direction and run my own mail server till BT got snotty about the open port.

Its something i'm definately thinking about, but not as anything for selling, probably on the similar lines what accumulator has done then perhaps sometime in the future eventually start selling. I realise it can be time consuming, but right now i don't think i have the nerve to sit here and plug away at a site, i spend enough time on the internet searching coins that if i spent even more time sorting a website that their might be a divorce on the cards (actually now i'm thinking about it) lol I have most of my pictures so far apart from the Pennies after my USB stick went tits up, i recovered most of it apart from the Penny pictures and will get around to redoing these shortly. So i guess design and style is what i need to work out, saying that though, i suppose a website would also safeguard the pictures i already have if the stick ever went tits up. So just to confirm, i'd need a domain name first of all (whats the cost of these and where do i i register one)? Then a webhost. I get mine from LCN.COM if its a .co.uk domain I get them for about £6 for two years, if you want a .com domain go to godaddy or such in the states and its a lot cheaper, I find that .com purchases in the uk are a lot lot more to buy.

Seb, I noted all the above and will do as instructed regarding the settings, after posting I went and had a good in depth look around, I am glad to see that many of the sellers are selling their run of the mill circulated stuff for peanuts ( well lot lower than the 99p ebay minimum ! ) so that pleases me immensely, however I have one further criticsim, there is no shopping basket, I went into one sellers shop, saw a lot of coins I liked at 20-50p and decided that I might like to buy them as fillers, but it means clicking on each coin and then clicking buy, I find that a little annoying, can you put a shopping basket on the site please. So far contrary to my initial post, it seems a nice site apart from feeling clunky to me, that may be down to being used to the ebay format, I don't know yet, but if you can promise to keep the forgeries out or at least declared as such in their own section then we can have a happy partnership as venue and buyer.

Ok so I thought about it and it seems that it may be workeable. If any daft beggars in here are collecting those infernal decimal 50p varieties ( olympic or other ones) I would like to propose a swap for them, or you can buy those I do have duplicates of for their face value and 1st class postage/recorded delivery. None of those I have are uncirculated or proofs, merely those I got from the bank or my wifes shopping travels. I know, their not worth a lot but hey some of us are driven to collect even if it isn't pre decimal. Let me know what you think, insults on the back of a George III twopence please.

Is this gone now ?

Thats my kind of talk, they probably got enough "Tax" on it in its lifetime if it has chaned hands a number of times in and out of the country.

Seb, sorry, I took a look at the site just now, and I find it very unhelpfull and clunky, not to say that some if not a lot of the coins I looked at are way to high in price compared to the same item on ebay, 1877 shilling for over 108 euros !. The format is, I don't know, chunky is the only way I can explain it, and I also do not like the fact that if I want to see a price in sterling I have to run and convert it. If I just happen to log in and find a coin I like that has seconds or so to go, I don't want to lose it because I have to do a conversion, i would rather see it in front of me in my currency and click buy fast. Having said that I registered out of decency for your posts and the fact I spotted a nice 1898 shilling after I said the above !. Next criticism. Why would I want to credit my account with £4 to become verified, my paypal account is already verified to me and my home address and that is how I pay, if it's good enough for them it should be goood enough for you.

Erm that is a rolleicord V Peck, mind you I also have a number of Russki copies of the hass and other brands here as well. Oh and a number of them new fangled Yashica Mat's and canons and erm, yeah, enough !.

ESC is ok but I think a little dated now. The rarity scale is a fair reflection, though milled is not my thing now, but like the Spink price guide the ESC is only a guide too with regard to rarity, for example a few years back I owned a 1825 shillig with the roman I in date which is classed as an R7 in ESC...hmm R7 states one or two examples but I have seen probably at least a dozen the amount of these in the last decade...so worth thinking on!! Okay, will probably just stick with the Spink 2012 and Coincraft 1999 that I've ordered for now, and will try to "digest" these first. BTW I found the Introduction section of Davies very educational, especially the Historical outline, hope there's more useful background material in Coincraft and Spink, not just coin lists (though they're useful too, of course). Whatever else you think of Coincraft or their catalogue, there is a phenomenal amount of useful background information in there. Not just good articles as appendices, but in the introduction to each denomination and reign. It has the added bonus of recommending what grades are best collected in each series. It's a mineshaft of information. But which copy of coincraft is best, the latest ( 2000 ) or previous ones, not all newer versions of something are better than the past ones.

next to you're whips and spanish fly cream? You been peeking in the wifes wardrobe !.

That poor rolleicord is still waiting for me to put some new leatherette on it !. The leather has been in my drawer waiting for at least a year now

Thats ok Peter, I missed an identical one yesterday for £6.99 All in.. Well I couldn't make my mind up on whether I should or not and lost it.
