hi chaps, do you know of any sites which specialise selling in antiques??
thanks for the abuse/help in advance

We really need to know what the antique items are. If it's your computer, then does it have its own shovel and has the boiler been certified this year?

its not for my steam powered typewriter .. a mate who is into his antiques is interested in buying & selling stuff from the uk

i did mention this place as we have a few old codgers

He'd do better buying in France and selling here . An average ride around the typical selection of stalls at Tynemouth Metro Station on a weekend suggests that far more is coming in from France than leaving for there. I buy loads of Radialva and other French radio sets from French and Belgian eBayists and the Metro Station crowds go mad for the stuff, but try selling UK sets of the same period to the French and they look at you completely gone out. It's not just electricals, French toys are big just now too as are French militaria, French clocks, French cast iron baths and French brown furniture which somehow manages to be less brown than our home grown equivalent.

i think thats his plan.. but there are things he would like for his personal collection

Whenever I see the words "personal collection" followed by a , I can't help but visualise Prince Harry in that fancy dress costume or hear in my head the delightful strains of "Springtime for Hitler"..

Surely this isn't just me?
