You know you're getting old when... You recognise none of the above ^^.

Full of fluff, I shouldn't wonder.

Wooden Ships (Crosby, Stills And Nash...)

Ain't Misbehavin' (Fats Waller...)

Good evening, Natexxo, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

No panpipes..? That's Lenny stuffed straight off, then.

Sorry, I've never sold anything, so I'm just stating what I've gleaned from here and there over the years. You've more knowledge of the subject than I; I stand corrected.

I believe that it's to do with the way Ebay charge the Seller's fees. It costs less to place the ad if the starting price is low. The 'reserve' price prevents the item from being sold at a silly, 'knock-down' price, which would be the risk if no reserve was placed. In essence, it's Sellers being 'cheap-skate' whilst hedging their bets. Happy to be wrong.

Thanks, folks. There were others that had merit; it could have gone either way. A Good Bunch, this month. In 'Other News', a picture for the October Challenge has been sent in; t'will appear shortly, so prepare your starting blocks, and have fun with it. Meanwhile... Keep well, stay safe Douglas

Jake the Peg (diddle-iddle-iddle-um...) (Rolf Harris...)

Has a reserve price; don't know how to see what that might be in advance.

And the winner is... Dad3353 (Me..!)..! Here, then, is your my Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2020_09.pdf ... which looks like this (but I knew that anyway, of course..!)…

How would one know..? Maybe, at home, those 'old blokes' don't wear their trousers.

Over The Rainbow (Harold Arlen...)

Better Things (The Kinks...)

Not a fan before, nor now.

Good afternoon, MM, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. There are no bassists like Stanley Clarke. ...

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (Beatles..)

Off topic, but Good Luck with the move back. You have your reasons (I don't need to know 'em...), but it's inconceivable for me to even consider such a step. I really can't imagine how I could go back now. I sincerely hope it works out for you and yours.

Out Of The Cradle (Rush...)

S'going to fetch more than I'd be willing/able to part with right now. I predict beyond £500.

Probably just a skewy photo, but if not, it's pretty easy to detach these arch-top necks and put it back properly. No big deal.

That's right up my street, as a complement to my other arch-tops. Watching...

Good afternoon, DB, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
