Someone is going to get a good buy. With the insignificant defects, half of the bidders will be scared off.

WOW! My 6 letter comment that could have meant a host of different things was almost immediately taken by our resident grouch as an insult or slight that I had directed towards another member of this forum.

I've had a relationship with Chris for many years and have done business with him on numerous occasions. Before Covid I was to have traveled to The Netherlands on his dime to inspect his collection and offer suggestions. I've always found him to be a gentleman on all levels who is apparently having a problem with lost/missing paperwork. I wish him all the best.

In amongst all the negative comments about S30.World and their work on this thread, from where I'm sitting it looks like you're trying to hint at something without actually saying it. You want to have your cake and eat it, don't you? Always 'more on this later', but never actually committing to an

You tell us that you've had a working relationship with the owner of the company in question for "many years", and yet I've not seen you make a single post or comment in their support while all and sundry were posting uninformed nonsense about them here and dissing their work. Hmmmm indeed. I think I've got your number.

On the other hand, you might well want to be careful about associating yourself with S30.World on here. After all, our friend SpeedRoo might call you a "so-called expert" and Zed Head will be asking you if payola is involved.
