I was interested in this one, but had two other lots I was determined to get and won them both. Didn’t think of you being there, should have had you pick up my stuff!


Hi Nick, yes, had you called I could have picked them up for you and boxed them today.


I hung around for an extra hour to bid on the Lake Breeze fan for a friend who left at the end of the morning session.
He said if I could get it for at or under 1000 including tax and premium, he would like to have it and would give 1000 no matter what my cost was. So I owned a Lake Breeze Stirling Cycle (hot air fan) for a grand total 30 minutes and put 101.20 in my pocket on the way home.
