Coventry Auction: Sunday 26th November 2017

[treefrog]

You guys having problems with your puters......full catalogue has been online since 2pm........


Lot 223 looks interesting, not sure how they will get it through the door though

[badpenny]

The tide is ebbing, you'll have to wait for the next Spring Tide

As it happens TF, lot 223 is in fact in many pieces, bit of a puzzle really.

All I can see is 5 pages and no lot numbers, is that correct ? I’ve not seen one of your catalogues before.

Must have fallen off the trailer....

I was wondering if JC had sent you out to top up the internet meter for the auction site. Do you need some change?

[badpenny]

Anyone got a bob for the meter?

Whilst I fully appreciate that most of you will be in bed by now, the online catalogue is now ready to view.......BUT, if you attempt to view with a mobile phone, the catalogue pages will be all over the place - I'll sort it tomorrow, but for the time being, I've had enough!
I shall also provide a PDF text only catalogue, which you can print-off and bring to the auction with you - again, I'll do that tomorrow.
There are loads of pictures still to be added, which I'm either waiting for from vendors or I already have and are waiting to be photo-shopped. These will be added over the next couple of days.

But hey! Have we got a great show in store for you or what? We have some great machines entered this year, including some real rarities. And there's tons of other great stuff, including some very hard to find books, lots of interesting spares and bits & bobs, plus plenty of ever-popular coins.

Here's a direct link to the Auction page:

You'll not want to miss this one!

When JC says we're photoshopping the pictures he's referring to placing the vendor's photo against a white background.
So don't expect to find any Sega Birds of Paradise or Bryans Workshops from the 1940s complete with wood shavings on the floor and a foul smelling pot of horse glue on the bench.
I echo the quality of this auction is superb and my Grandma will shortly be appearing on Gumtree.

Some very nice machines on offer this Sunday. Just a big shame the EE auction is held on the same day. Looks like I will have to rush to both again just like last year.....

[dutchboy]

I want to wish for all who will visit the auction(s) a joyfull day! So many machines for sale in a small area, it must feel like heaven. Does it?

[treefrog]

It will be a busy day....so what’s your favourite item for sale tomorrow, I know what mine is but of course not saying

[dutchboy]

Sadly I won’t be able to be present, so you can say I'm a bit jealous . But the Gold Seal should look nice here in my room.

[coppinpr]

Only one machine i really want and thats....a secret!!
In an attempt to get more bidders i have offered my services to bid and take charge of machines wanted by at least 2 bidders in europe,you could still be the the 3rd DB!
You know its heaven with a curry to follow DB,you sat with me all day last year
