A new seller on ebay

Post by badpenny »

I've just spotted a new seller who is offering (without photo) the following: -

one arm bandit unknown founded in my grandad's loft when he pasted away takes old penny

don't know if it works,its got a orange front looks 60s but i don't know as to young,don't much about it,buyer collects

Now then ......
A) I'm not interested that his grandfather was a decorator
B) I am curious though that he started a machine manufacturing company in his attic
C) I'm not sure he "Much" about anything to .....err two .... I mean too

Apart from that, move over Saatchi & Saatchi the world of marketing is slipping through your fingers!

LOL!!! ........... the ultimate proof of succesful marketing is the quantity of folding golden splonders he gets. If he is succesful at that point then I for one will start rephrasing my adverts to accentuate the bottom fingering of my grandad's orange front. :P

How much did he get for it?
It would serve me right if it had been a Watling Rol A Top that somebody had pitched a tin of orange emulsion over. :dammit:

It was an old red/orange Sega HiTop in need of some love and attention, but all there.

All for £50 as well, what a bargain........

I thought it would end up being some kind of 1960s children's Japanese money box, well I guess not far from the truth...

Nice one, should buff up nicely. It was too far away from me to have been viable, that's why I merely decided to extract the "orange water" or should that be "red water" :roll:
