But who would act as referee between Steve and Jerry?

And then of course a large awning would need to be erected in the car park to catch all the pig s**t falling from the sky.

Yes, that's exactly what I've done! Perhaps I need to invest in some specs, sorry everyone.

Thank god for that, what a spin we were all in......

Don't know what was the matter with me yesterday, I also read the clock wrong & got to the pub an hour early.
Although that wasn't too much of a problem.

I beg to differ.

I was also reacting to a verbal snippet passed to me from a different direction recently.
I hope they are both wrong.

And to think, we might have put the idea into the Elephant's head.

There is now an entry form available to download from the website:

http://www.vintageamusementsauctions.co.uk/

I shall be sending out an update to all those on the mailing list, hopefully sometime tomorrow.
In the meantime, just a note for some of our regular vendors who contact me through my personal email address rather than the site address (info@vintageamusementsauctions.co.uk) - that's fine, but please use my gmail address rather than the old tiscali address, because that will bounce!

That doesn’t narrow it down in the slightest !

Gutted I can’t make it. Mothers Day is a definite no go and before anyone asks, she really couldn’t travel anyway. So disappointed but I’m sure it will be well attended. The Coventry Auction always has the nicest and best price machines. Have a fabulous day all!

Any movement on the catalogue yet?

First two pages are up, a third to follow soon, according to Jerry.

Yes, page 3 is on the way. There's some nice stuff coming up, but a lot for which I don't have full descriptions or pictures at the moment - I'll hopefully be able to fill in the blanks in the next couple of days. So the catalogue's coming along, but I really do need some more entries before you all rush in the day after the closing date.
Please get your entry forms in ASAP, to save me sleepless nights next week, stuck in front of the computer

Jerry

For those who have not yet noticed, page three is now up online. There's some nice stuff, including a full set of Bryans 3 Ball allwins, all in superb condition.
There's more entries coming in, so page 4 should be online in a couple of days or so - but it's coming in very slowly! So please, if you have stuff to enter, particularly machines, do get in touch ASAP. Suitable lots might include a big box of spares for example, but if you have just a few bits, let me know and we can probably sell them on my table during the viewing time.

For those who didn't receive the latest update from me, there's been a change in policy re. spares. Having had a couple of conversations with others, it's been agreed that we will include individual spares in the auction. So if you have any bandit, allwin, electrical spares that you wish to enter, please let me know in the next couple of days.
Page 4 should be ready to view later today, with more lots coming in - it's shaping-up to be another great day!

Jerry

Page 4 now online, with number 5 well on the way. It's shaping up nicely, but we could still use a few more lots (particularly machines of course)! So if you have anything, please let me know in the next couple of days.

oh wow that Past The Arrow is sweet
