:( Now that is a shame, why would anyone in their right mind become a spammer? Beats me. Now I can understand why Mike has such tiresome task of weeding them out. Got to be good for the legitimate collectors though, more power to Mike's elbow I say!

Sorry that you did not win everything. Still it does generate a little excitement and I suppose that is half the fun of ebay. I recently got pipped at the post for a comic card and emailed the winner to congratulate him. A couple of messages later resulted in him sending me a few unwanted comics tha...

Which brings to mind the most irritating phrase on Ebay "I cannot be held responsible for items lost in the post" (or similar statements) I understand that this is downright illegal for a business seller (sale of goods act) and extremely questionable for anyone else. In any other area of ...

:D Incidently Moonraker, what is your particular subject? "John Boy" "Military Wiltshire 1897-1920". (OK I know it sounds like the specialist subject in Mastermind.) Moonraker Like I say Moonraker, to each his own, although I must say "Your Chosen Subject" does sound l...

Doesn,t exactly instill confidence in the postal system does it. I send and receive material on a regular basis to Athens and have done for quite a few years now. Up until now I have been most fortunate not to have had any packages etc. go astray. It makes you wonder though, where do all those undel...

:D Four times the fair price? Wow! More money than sense you suggest? I'm glad you said it but can't help agreeing with that! I limit my bids and will not go beyond that. It can be argued that if you want a particular card bad enough, then you should be prepared to up the stakes a little, but where ...

Re: This Site

:D Hello everyone, "John Boy" here, a new addition to the fold so to speak! Just an introduction really. Initially a stamp collector but awoke one day to see the light! Visited Sunny Skeggy a few years ago, picked up a few comic postcards on the prom. The rest, as they say, is history. I ...

One can always write opinions about certain postcard fairs, although comments about specific dealers may not go down too well if they are negative ones. I prefer to talk (type) about my specific area of interest. I know much about castles, but probably very little about the actual postcards and the...

Where is everybody?

I see that we have 200 registered users of this very nice site and yet the frequency of members posts is not that great. Hasn't anybody got anything to say about our great hobby?

:D Hi Andrew! If your castles collection is getting so that it is difficult to locate ones that you don't have, suggest you add another subject! How about comics? Then that will make two of us !!!!!!!!
