Hi Stu,
They would never go that cheap over here! I still think you should open a branch office!

Have to keep some of the good stuff back for the Kiwis

Looking at this and his other items there is a dominant reddish brown patina trend.

I just want to know if anyone has ever bought something off the wonderfully optimistic Woodyjob: Antique Spoke Shave adjustable blade brass knobs | Trade Me

He's has stuff there for the best part of a year without selling. You'd think he'd get the hint...

The best part of three years

I've even complained to Trademe about him. There's a requirement to shift 10% of your listings, which he fails to do, but they're toothless . So now I just don't bother looking at any listings from Waihi.

Cheers (and grumbles), Vann.

This one's been listed weekly since I started rust hunting back in October 2008.

www.trademe.co.nz/antiques-collectables/tools/auction-480134293.htm

It's a Rapier 400 (made in Gateshead, UK). I bought one the same (missing irons and lever-cap) for $2.40, and a second (missing only frog adjusting screw) for $10. So at $75 this is a real bargain .

So "be quick".

Cheers, Vann.

[NZStu]

His listings really clog up the tool section too. Complete PITA.

Here's a common or garden Record No.04, with a repair down one side (and possibly the other)

Attachment 211139sorry it's upside-down - it was like that in the auction, and I can't rotate it here

I decided $12.50 for my top bid - figuring that if I lucked out I'd just get a handful of screws, frog and lever-cap, while if I lucked in I'd also get a usable iron and two handles as well.

It sold for $18 .

So I didn't rate my chances with this one...

Attachment 211140

...which I thought was a Record No.05. I put on a $10 bid (the reserve) and waited for someone to trump me. And waited... and waited...

www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=479814004


Ten bucks you beauty . And even better, it turns out to be an 05½.

Go figure.

Cheers, Vann

[NZStu]

Repeat after me: you don't need any more Record 04s! That 5 1/2 looks good though...

That WS spokeshave you were bidding on looked interesting. He had a reserve of $30 on that, which I don't think did him any favours.

[Vann]

I don't need any more Record 04s,
I don't need any more Record 04s,
I don't need any more Record 04s,
I don't need any more Record 04s....

...of course I do. Another dozen at least .

Cheers, Vann.

Nice little adjustable clamp on fence for the knock off #10 but I think £95 is a bit steep. £94 too steep
