Antique Paid Cheques

Got several of these, £5 each including postage

 

Hi Ziggy, just seen your post - have you tried Ebay, there seems to be a market for such items.

See link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Banknotes...ique+cheques&_catref=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m1538

a-a

 

Cheers Alex,

Still a bit scared of ebay, its my age, but Daughter & me are just trying it out

 

Feardy
Even I give ebay a go, no problems yet for five years touch wood

Latest was Haddon Hall dinner set,(not wanted contents of deceased MILS house)
Dealer Pennies
ebay Fighting for it, buyers even advised increase of delivery cost, to improve packaging

Go for it man

I'll give it a go tommorow my friend.

 

Yes good luck with ebay.

One thing I will say, often things are not worth what you thought / will let it go for.
I paid around £400 for some kit, (doesn't matter what it was now) I really hardly used it, but the most that was offered was £50, I was looking for around £150, it never sold.
I also look for another bit of kit, and I have to laugh when I see it starting at £90 when if you look around you can get a brand new one for £30, and other sellers are starting auction at 99p, I often wonder do they sell any at £90

 

Cheers Watergarden, it all looked a bit scary to me.

 

Its not as bad a s it looks. But do take into consideration postage, although the buyer pays it, make sure you have quoted how much it really does cost to post.
I sometimes get quibbles for my postage, when I am selling some "expensive kit" I want to know it will arrive in one piece, is insured and must be signed for, I already know that is £18, so that's what postage is on some stuff I sell, but I also offer collect it instead.
Oh, paypal, that's another subject.

 

When buying make sure you look at the delivery first

Some sell plants at £1 but postage is £15
same with selling make sure your delivery cost is covered
No good selling a heavy planter at £12 and it costs you £15 to ship
Check feedback when buying anyone over 95% is puka

Mostly it is all genuine, just watch the above
Most newbies say post £8 then when they post it it is only £4 and they put £4 in with the package to recompense you

I have and do buy very expensive Camera gear from China
Arrived within two days and genuine products

My daughter bought a wedding dress and five bridesmaids dresses ebay china
total cost £400
She showed them via websites the style, and the material
They sent back samples of the material chosen, and to email specific measurements on a card
She accepted and returned details

Two weeks later
We got a parcel, it was just a cubic foot in size
OMG we have been done, and got Barbie doll dresses

Nope they were vacume packed, and expanded into the most beautiful perfect copies of the £2000 dresses same material and design with no flaws

I must admit I was sweating on that one though

Aye Jack tiz only cause you wish it was Barbie and ended up with Ken.

 

It would be no problem if Ken arrived as I would just

And the Tax man, and the VAT man? Although it does seem odd, I have had some kit from China, no worries, but kit from America and the courier holds it / sends a VAT import duty bill.

 

it's all pot luck, however I have never been caught for import duty and tax from china but will always get caught from America

 

As a taxman myself I always pay my dues to my collegues
VAT Value Added Tea, they get a free choccy biscuit with their tea

ID Import Duty, they get sausage rolls Imported Dutifully from my oven

Only joking apart from the tax man bit
