I expected them to sell for about £55, so I put on £111.58. The underbidder expected them to sell for about that too, but not to me. I paid £57 for them.

I wanted to be challenged, which is probably why I went out with so many mad women later.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-71774372882548694322016-05-29T03:39:02.764-07:002016-05-29T03:39:02.764-07:00Hello Moll - where have you been?Hello Moll - where have you been?Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-81020525737558724142016-05-29T03:38:06.380-07:002016-05-29T03:38:06.380-07:00A once in a lifetime opportunity - 3 times so far....A once in a lifetime opportunity - 3 times so far.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-80247226357596299822016-05-29T00:32:42.510-07:002016-05-29T00:32:42.510-07:00I like the picture on its side.I like the picture on its side.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-1775808614498204562016-05-28T21:16:15.527-07:002016-05-28T21:16:15.527-07:00My old antique dealing partner, Justin de Villeneu...My old antique dealing partner, Justin de Villeneuve, could sell anything to anyone.

Not necessarily dishonest, but you need to be able to put a kind of story about the thing over to people, and make them feel they are missing out if they don't join in.

It's good that you have these strong memories of a particular time and place. Thank you for sharing them with the rest of us. The vintage photograph also tells a story.<br /><br />Funny to see today's picture of the resting candlestick and to discover an interesting post about buying and selling. We now have a political candidate who claims to be a champion deal maker. He certainly doesn't impress me. I thought of him when I was reading the last paragraph of today's post.<br /><br />Best wishes.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.com
