Tenders are now closed

I'll give you all a bit of a break from new listings until late July or early August.

To answer some of your questions about unsolds:

Most of the lots that failed to attract acceptable absentee tenders have already been sold through the Tender Center Ipswich or at the Fernvale market. When offered in live venues most tools sold better than on my web site -a definite incentive to spend more time away from the computer

 Few lots remain unsold and will either be re-listed in my other pages or sold at live venues. Overall I'm very pleased with the result which produced a 50/50 split between the buy now option and the bid now alternative. Thank you all for your support.

The new format will continue with one modification: There will be no more estimate range,  just one fixed buy it now price or a 'make and offer now' option, or both. Most of you should be familiar with the principle from eBay. I won't accept low tenders until I have them tested against the live venues mentioned. Successful tenders will be notified; if you don't hear from my by close your tender was not successful. I do not publish results or disclose tenders.

Past listings will be published in a new archive format. Over time they might provide a useful source of information.
