I have several.
Only one do I make money on, the rest cost me quite a bit.
My money maker is collecting NICE LOOKING pottery made in UK mostly but some from outside of our island.
3 /4 times a year I give it to a pal of mine who ships mine and others who collect for him to USA and then he receives payment and I, we get our share, works well. the Shermans love it.
If I find a piece which I suspect is worth a decent amount I get it checked out and send it to London for auction.
2 years ago I bought two paintings because I liked them in Norwich and they fetched a few shillings
Gambling really.
Wish me luck cus it is mostly.

Stop trolling, derailing posts for your own weird pleasure and discuss the topic in the spirit of the forum.

Auctions in the city and farmers auctions too sometimes at the farmhouse involved and they're the best sometimes town and city auctions.
In the seventies I used to buy bankrupt stock almost weekly in the middle of Manchester.
For some reason I never got to a police auction.

i am discussing it in the spirit of the forum. you said you bought the paintings because you liked them in norwich. it's reasonable to ask if you would have liked them somewhere else, milton keynes say, or coventry.

The last actual farmers auction I attended I bought 8 bags of onions in error, mind you, they were cheap enough to give away.
In the middle 90s I bought a combine harvester for the engine, the local scrappy took it out and delivered it to my old man, his payment was the rest in scrap, we were both happy.
