I would never deliberately mislead, but, I occasionally get things wrong For any purchase the buyer should make an informed choice based on the information provided and if they are in any doubt then do not buy it I am very tolerant of returns based on damage and loss but I will not accept things like: 'You said it was 1940s, my brother told me it was at least 1953 so I don't want it' 'I thought it was bigger'           'It's a much darker blue than I expected' etc  A lot of auction purchases are based on impulse and heat of the moment decisions, this can often lead to buyer remorse, if you are prone to this you should not bid at auctions I hope this never happens I spend a lot of my time attending auctions throughout the UK and I have built up a varied collection over the years. Due to lack of space I do from time to time declutter and sell items mostly, these days, through Ebay. I also buy things, that I see at auction which I believe to be a good price and that I can resell at a small profit, thus helping me to pay my expenses. I am not running a business but I am trying to pay for my indulgence. You can contact me through any of the recognised Ebay outlets Place a Bid!
