New commemorative 50p

Parliament is our constitutional democracy, elected by the People. The Executive - which used to be the Crown and is now the Government - is separate from that. So, this is the complexity we now have: the Referendum Act passed by Parliament made it advisory only, i.e. not legally binding. The Executive, with no Parliamentary authority, decided to make the result binding and stated so on the ballot paper. That has created a divide where the legally passed Act has been modified by Government without the consent of Parliament, and it's the same divide as caused the Civil War, i.e. who has power, Parliament or the Executive? You can insult Parliament all you like, but they are your democratic representatives, not Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and Jacob Ree-Smogg acting from their own interests.

I think the comments made by Courtney are only going to be about the BSJ site of which he has given the oportunity to mail him / them should anyone wish to do so. The tab on the Baldwin site directs you to them and they have nothing to do with the Baldwin site. Both are completely seperate and different companies not even in the same building. About twelve months ago i had trouble logging on and a phone call soon sorted everything out ,of which since i have never had a problem. The baldwin site has been in the same format for years and the BSJ added on only about eighteen months. If anyone feels something could be improved or alternatively is Rang then comments IMO are better directed straight to either of the two companies rather than expecting them to discuss any issues on here. I should perhaps also mention as a positive i have sold over twenty lots with them and been more than happy with the prices realised (on most ) and the service.

Re: emboldened text above - that assertion is factually incorrect. Even on the first page of this part of your website here not only are currency denominations chaotically mixed up together, but additionally, the first penny on the first page is dated 1862, another further down is dated 1858, and another beyond that, dated 1861. By logical definition that is not chronological order. There is no confusion about the app. Any confusion clearly rests with you, as my paragraph above illustrates. If you're going to promote an app, it is odd not to make it available for all devices. Especially since it's conversely possible to access the website via tablet or smartphone, without the need for an app. As far as the quality of your photographs, you might like to examine the high resolution archive images available on LCA, DNW or Colin Cooke. But.......your call at the end of the day. Just be aware that cyber footfall to your website and thus your auctions, will be lower than if the valid criticisms were sympathetically taken on board, rather than condescendingly dismissed. That's all I have to say on this issue.

The joys of predictive text, made me laugh so much! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PADDINGTON-BEAR-AT-BUCKINGHAM-PALLACE-DIE-ERROR-UNCIRCUMCISED-50P-COIN-2018/123596187940?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I think you give them too much credit. I don't think they considered for one moment that we might actually vote to leave.

The title of the thread is that everyone seems to be having difficulty with being approved to bid. I've just taken a look through the full thread again, can only see a mention of the app not loading on your PC. The app is only for phones and tablets. In terms of our website, bsjauctions.com is our main auction website. The two most used tabs are Auctions, which lists current and past auctions as PDFS with prices realised, and Bid Live which takes you through to the Live auction site - This is only available once a new auction is running. If you do have any specific issues, please give us a call at the office and we will be happy to talk through.
