Superb and generous offer Ron .. this carton offering sherro can't complain he was up too late to see it. Smile

Looking forward to some stiff competition from Waroff too I hope - and the others in the area.

I'll bid $100 right now, to kick things off, and keep them all honest down there. Very Happy

Maybe post the address of your shop here Ron, so others in MEL who might like to pop by and bid can find you. Idea

Just before we closed tonight,I added in a 1988 Bicentenary set of 5 books all with mint stamps inc,Face is around $17.00. Very Happy

if the bidding keeps going I will add more stuff,but will need to supply a Box as well. Shocked

The suitcase, by the way, is a old style,pre war jobby Question

,in good nick but minus its handle,normal size,NOT a little one, so you get an idea there is a fair bit of "Stuff",

Ron.

When Ron says it's stacked he means 'chockers'. He was adding stuff to it as he pushed me out the door and turned off the lights. There was a least 1 full sheet of NZ, lots of tins, some pages??

I'd say even better than the oyster from Glen.

I do not want to mislead any potential bidders,

but to the best of my Knowledge there is NO 5/- Harbour Bridge,or One Pound Roos,although I do remember a fairly good 5/- Roo going in,

Just remember this is really about getting some cash for Burma,
so as the bidding increases so will the size of this lot. Exclamation

Just to let you all know,

I have now started on 2nd Suitcase,not as big,about 3/4 size and this is well on the way to being filled too. Laughing

The great thing about this is ,,,,I have discovered stuff I had forgotten about, Surprised

also seeing shop floor that I have not seen in over 6 years,
another benifit to me is I am regaining some space, Razz

so the more you bid,the more space I regain,GO FOR IT
