  3. I'd go the opposite way round Peter, Poor/NF
  4. Maybe you can Test various other chemicals Stuart while you're at it, just so we all know what is good to use and what is'nt.

    So kookaburra is Aussie slang for a gouge? That's odd, I thought it was a native bird 4 Negs and 1 Neutral does'nt exactly fill me with confidence either in his short ebay life They were over a year ago.Since then he has redeemed himself. Maybe so Peter, but obviously he did'nt list anything for a while as they're still visible

  7. Looking about i spotted an Edward VI 1551 Halfcrown which i thought i'd seen elsewhere before. I did a little digging around on the site where i initially thought i'd seen it but it was'nt the same coin. So more digging on coin archives i eventually found it. I realsie dealers have to make a crust, but it seems at the expense of upping half a grade when the auction house in my opinion gave a perfectly fine grade for it. So here's the coin in question sold at St James`on the 19th April this year http://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=1157747&AucID=1066&Lot=154&Val=9fc76a441ce1fc8c3c15fa2c83b92e33 Observe price and more importantly the grade Now the same coin which seems to have gone upwards in grade............... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360453293423?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D360453293423%26_rdc%3D1 Yes i know people have different opinions about grades, but obviously St James`cannot grade or buckscoins is looking for a 1000 profit.............Based on SPINKS PRICE GUIDE (notice i added GUIDE) for Fine 750 and VF 2250, so adding half a grade certainly boosts profits. Whats the hammered guys opinion on grading?
  8. Yes Stuart, UK eBay, thats where i sell a few coins on and My fees over a £400 sale were £40 but they have now increased to a Maximum of £75. I think you'll just have to Trust me on this one.
  9. I think you're under the assumption Stuart that its 10% in every pound for eBay fees, its only up to a Maximum of £75 Fee for private sellers and £40 for a Business seller
  10. £40 was the set fee for all sellers on auctions over £400 its still the same now for Business sellers, but eBay has just raised their limit now, so for private sellers the fees are now still 10% but up to a Maximum of £75 fee instead of the Old £40 fee the new £75 applies to private sellers only, business sellers are still at the Old £40 rate until eBay decides they need to rape more cash
  11. You'll be a private seller Stuart and not a business seller, business seller Rates dis not increase, hence the £40 fee, for the rest of us its 10% up to a maximum of £75 plus 3.5% in PP
  12. EBay will take £40 Stuart and if paid with PP about £60. He's had 1 offer already, but if Robs grading is correct then its already at its money when he bought it
  13. Edward the VIII did'nt like to conform to tradition, if you look at George VI, he also faces the same way
  14. I bought this one for the little guy last year and is one of my favourites of his. I bought this on eye appeal and the lovely olive green tone it has..........
  15. That is a beautiful portrait, I have my eye on one of those. I just hope it is not sold when I get the money together! My favourite too! Was this one 110 quid Paul, bought just last week or the week before from ebay graded as aUNC?
  16. Thats only the UK Peck, its Euro Millions, so add maybe Another 100 million people for the other countries

  21. He's not actually selling it as original. In the heading it states Commems which would be commemorative i assume

    Dave, what were you doing up at that time? I was in bed before 3.15am surely. But i work late shifts everyday and don't finish until 12.30am and get home at around 12.45am but obviously can't go directly to bed, so i'm normally up for another hour, sometimes longer
