I've been watching this one for at least 6 months. The price he was asking was $3999. I made several decent offers (I thought) but never was enough. It is the real deal for sure in my opinion. What did you offer him? |

I paid 1550$, import duty and Vat will add at least another 200$. Too much considering the damage? but I couldn't resist and with Christmas coming what the hell.
How do I tell the Wife! |

Funnily enough I was just browsing the BBR auctions catalogue for Nov 1998 ( as you do )and there was one in similarly good condition, 30 ins x 18ins - which went for £1550, it was described as one of only two examples recorded.

Well its arrived, and its better than it looks. Was very surprised no add ons, import duty etc, then realised the cheeky chappie put the full value down in Indian Rupees rather than pounds.
Does anybody know who made this sign |
