Just had a weird thought today
Ok us Tinplate guys seem to take our collecting seriously , and we all love showing off something new and sharing experiences, add to that we all ( anyhow hope its not just me lol) love the thrill of the chase .
Anyhoo the idea goes something like this ... I am sure in our travels we all see stuff we like available for purchase or at auction that for whatever reason , too far , too expensive, not in exactly the condition I want ,whatever ... and we move on in search of the next "New thing"
And that "bargain " falls by the wayside , but what if it didnt ?
What if someone on this very forum can give it a good home or it is exactly what THEY were looking for , but did not find?
Case in point .. I came across this item today
(ebay link removed by forum software.....)
and I immediately thought of my US buddies here ... its prohibitive for me to buy due to postage and I dont have an "Erector" hard on as some might ...
I am however aware this idea might prove open to abuse , with members posting their OWN things for sale , but I would hope we are above that gents ( besides you can put it in the classies here instead !!! )
Is this viable ?
( I will point out I DID go thru the posting guidelines , and I think its ok? )
Apologies in advance if I HAVE messed up posting this , but I think it could be of value to the community and membership?
