If the mods/anyone else takes offence to me posting this in this way I am happy to remove/have the thread removed - I am only thinking of doing it this way to stop me spamming the board with advert after advert
Some people may know, but I am clearing my Granddads place after he died a couple of years back. He owned a VW main dealer from the early 60s through to early 80s, and even outside of that was a man who liked to collect basically anything that passed beneath his nose of a mechanical bent - As a result, I have a whole property and yard full of stuff that I am having to get sold and out the way - Two years in and I have to step up the pace a bit, I cant afford the extra Council Tax forever, and the council is about to double it on account of being an empty property!
I am listing this all on ebay - I originally started putting it all on different websites, forums I am on etc, but basically I feel like I am just putting ads up rather than actually contributing to any of them so I don't want to keep doing that. Having said that, I am sure that some of the stuff I am listing might be of interest to people on here, so if its OK with everyone, I will put a link to my ebay profile and just drop a note on this thread going forwards if I put anything of likely interest to people here on there?
I will also say, I have put them on ebay at ebay prices - I am more than happy to sort RR prices instead on here and save on fees etc too, its just easiest and cleanest to have them all listed in one place. My only proviso is that if someone has already bid on it I wont pull an auction, as I think thats a bit of a d*ckhead move.
If everyone is cool with that, my profile is
www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=186470849231&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211&_ssn=dan95x
so far there is stuff from NSU factory manuals through circular saws, lapel pin badges, bits of automobilia, vintage car parts, some NOS ford stuff (although what I have found so far has gone - There may be more), fairly obviously NOS Audi/VW stuff, old hoovers/parts, some of his model cars - All sorts.
I would love to keep it all, but I am not exaggerating when I say it literally wont all fit in my house - I am keeping a fair bit, as is my brother, but we just cant keep all of it!
If anyone is interested, the stuff is all in Walsall, West Mids, or I can easily get to Cardiff as I go there each week for work. Equally I am happy to post stuff at cost. Shout on here either on ad or on PM and we can sort a more RR price for things
Like I say, any problem at all with doing it this way, and I will happily take this ad down and consider myself chasitised, I just genuinely figure its easier for both me and anyone looking at stuff to do this way
