  1. Combination of CGS dodgy grading and Ingram dodgy selling - I am not buying.
  2. That is a beauty! I would hang on to that one for sure!
  3. The suggestion of doing it in 1&1 is that by going through the process of creating the spam filter again, I suspect 1&1 will recreate the spam folder in Outlook for you. I know the problem is in Outlook, I was just looking for a way of solving it for you. I assume you have checked all the other folders you have in outlook, in case it has appeared as a sub-folder there somewhere? (I am not sure the search facility will find it as that is designed to hunt for emails by title or content, not folders.) For future reference, in most Windows applications if you realise you have done something wrong, if you hit "Ctrl Z" it will undo the last action. You can do this repeatedly and undo as many previous actions as the system stores - very useful when you have cocked things up in a big way. Sadly the history of things to undo is lost when you shut down and restart the application, so when you did this you lost the option to undo your move.
  4. Google seems to think 1&1 is the same as Ionos and gives this help page for creating Spam filter: https://www.ionos.co.uk/help/email/setting-up-mail-business/activate-or-deactivate-anti-spam-for-your-company-name-email-address/
  5. It sounds as if 1&1 created the folder for you - I don't use them, so I am not sure how this works. If you have a log in to an account with them, maybe there is something in there that will allow you to re-create it?
  6. I am not sure if this helps: The only folder that Outlook automatically includes for unwanted emails is the "junk" folder, and all Microsoft's automatic rules send spam emails to that. If you had a "Spam" folder, it sounds as if this was something you or someone else created and had home-written rules to send emails from particular sources to that. Was there any particular type of email that ended up there? If this is all correct then you can either allow the "junk" folder to continue to handle things, or you can create a new "spam" folder and create rules to send things to it.
  7. Ah yes - I see that now - that explains it! Thanks.
  8. Just out of curiosity, how does anyone see who is watching an item on Ebay? I have been selling there for years and never found a way of doing it - I can see how many are watching, but not who. Any regular Ebay sellers know how?
  9. Cynically one might suggest he resents releasing control of the commission bids as this allows him to bid up to the maximum, even when no one else is interested...
  10. You will probably get a little less for the brass than the bronze. Try calling your local scrap man to discuss before you commit to a trip out - whenever that is deemed legitimate! Still looks closer to £60 - and a lot less hassle than trying to sell on Ebay.
  11. I had 44Kg of the same sort of stuff before Christmas. After trying lots of different avenues, including here, I ended up taking it to the scrap man in town - I got £3.30 per kilo for it. I can sell a few at the markets when they are open - but only at 10p per coin to non-collectors or newly started ones. However, I still get more in as make weights in job-lots at auction than I can ever sell. I have already built up another 15Kg in spares! That is why dealers are so loth to take any more on.
  12. This is now on Ebay at: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353068280352
  13. Another band newly discovered in amongst a huge collection of CDs I bought late last year - May Blitz. Medium rock with some driving rhythms. This is my favourite track so far:
  14. I have said all along - I suspect this Coronavirus business is only a dress rehearsal for the real sorting out. I just hope I am not around for that one! It's being so cheerful as keeps me going! 😁
  15. This is the only one on Ebay at the moment, and as it is in Redruth, I guess this is the one he was plugging: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2015-Platinum-Proof-Penny-set-NGC-PF70/202980220885?hash=item2f42905fd5:g:Gc4AAOSw3aderGJ9
  16. For those of us tonsorially challenged, a hairdresser comes low on the list of priorities. To be honest, I most miss the markets - whether buying or selling, the joy of exploring a diverse selection of small stores, trading, dealing and chatting about coins or antiques with anyone like-minded.
  17. Yes I have used this many times before - I tend to use a cryptic crossword to put me to sleep at night. Often I fall asleep with some clue and awake with the answer. As Confucius says: "Man who goes to sleep with problem in mind wakes with solution in hand". (Or was that about something else?!)
  18. I woke in the middle of the night with a better answer: "inconvenience" which is 13. Strange how the brain works!
  19. Better pic of the 5 coins in the box (I will, of course, package them individually before sending!):
  20. The Sixpence - this has a stain, possibly from being rubbed with a leather glove early in its existence:
