Didn't think Buck was that sought after but I'm obviously wrong as per usual

Last month :shock:

Wow, the Bedford junk shop got lucky there - lots of cash with no need to understand what he's selling!

The price for the first one - with no iron - was high enough - but the second is extraordinary.

To some extent that's the point of auctions (as long as you have two or more knowledgeable bidders)

Cunning plan after watching the iffy "Spier" mitre sell for big bucks last week.

Buy one of these

Stamp it yourself and then leave to soak in a puddle for a few weeks voila, kerching.
I'm joking of course.

I have to say, if I'd see either of the two planes in the first
post at more than 10 quid at a car boot, I'd have left 'em.

Shows how much (or little) I know.

I was watching that first one a couple of hours ago when it was at about £500, I thought that was ridiculous enough!

To pay that sort of money you've got to be either a dealer (prob USA) or so rich you don't know what to do with your money.

I wouldn't insult him, he has done a very good job restoring it.

I'd buy one of these and save a few quid

Not here yet my fault he's doing a few irons for me. $6 for a no.80 scraper blade and a few other bits and bobs.
