Hi there
no reserve is at the lowest end of discussion, if it doesnt sell i will put it into the sale offered at Bonhams.
It now has 78 watchers but has completly dropped off ebay pulse on all catogories for some reason, it was on ebays feature page yesterday and the day before.
many thanks
michelle

Hi Michelle

You appear to have had two or three serious bidders, as predicted!  But a reasonable result, I think.

Now, how many more of these antiques barns do you know about....? And where are they....?

Don't forget a Pantin at £7 and a St Mande at £3.   And there must be something out there for a fiver.   Happy hunting!  My mission in life is to find a Clichy swirl for under a tenner ...   :fr:

The under bidder and the winner had most likely left automated bids with a "sniping program", so there was no risk from their personal connection going down or even not being quick enough on the keyboard or mouse.

Does anybody these days really try to manually enter eBay bids within the last minute of an auction?

Actually, I do.....  I like doing it manually... always have.....  I always figure if my connection goes down I was not meant to own it....  and it never has......  and I just got a vase from Michelle with 3 seconds left on the clock... gotta love it....   :chky:
