Perhaps.

"Or Best Offer!"

3,500 sounds fair, Try working on describing provenance, give more details, provide pics, so on ................

To protect any potential buyer I have privately contacted the seller and can confirm that the Prov is genuine.
I am not financially in a position to buy it but I can vouch for its legitimacy if anyone is interested in it. I wanted to make sure no-one got stung on it.
However, Pseud, I could swap for a dface DSTQ canvas!!

Will there be biscuits with the tea? Orange Clubs?

[Zippy]

He's a US seller so probably not aware of the delights of the English biscuit.
I believe the Americans are not aware of the Wagon Wheel, Club, Breakaway, yoyo or the mint viscount.
Feck me, we are lucky to be British!!

I'm guessing one of our American friends will come back with a list of their classic Biscuits (cookies - whatever). There will be some initial banter followed by some 'slagging' which if we're not careful could actually lead to a real war. 'The Great Biscuit War of 2007' or titled by American historians as 'The Great Cookie War of 2007'. Which I should point out England would win.

Thanks Zip I appreciate the reference.

I was trying to keep this thread Biscuit Free but there is a UK imports shop a five minute walk from here, so sure, I'll include biscuits to sweeten the deal.

The War On Cookies?

1st post again:

Previous deal fell through due to the purchaser using his funds elsewhere. Need the cash to close on a new home. Must-sell situation.

numbered in the 200s, full prov, mint condition, stored flat in archival materials since purchase from POW.

Shipped from the US in an indestructible tube, fully insured.

£3800 or best offer.

Thanks.

i guess you needed to re-posit it as any reader would have forgotten what the thread was about by the time they had read it!

england might be winning but then the scots would join with their american cousins in 'The Great Shortbread War of 2007' and the english would be doomed!!

anyway, have a bump on me.

I'd hold on, £4k seems to be the going rate on Ebay at the mo.

[pseudonym]

I see that, but no one was biting at 3800, so here we are. I need the cash. Buy it from me and put it on ebay for 4000 if you'd like.

[©hief']

Ok, can I pay you after I've sold it

[pseudonym]

Credit Cards accepted!!

[sausageboonwee]

3.5 is a fair deal - I think some people might look back on this after the Hospital show and kick themselves.

[pseudonym]

3.3k +shipping. These have been going regularly at around 4k on the bay recently.

[lastpost]

Why don't you put it on Ebay then??

[pseudonym]

I prefer private sales when possible as they are more friendly, as well as avoiding fees.

[pseudonym]

SOLD for £3.6k Packed and Posted. Thanks for looking and all the biscuit banter. Buyer requested penguins.

[Zippy]

too much sugar in them and they dont taste liek they used to.
I wouldnt trust him/her.
those penguin eaters...hhmm......

[Ågentßacardi]

This biscuit/cookie thing is hilarious!! ;D

Now the reason why the Brits will win isn't because they're gonna use air biscuits, is it? If so, we're doomed!!
