I have a few bits here, strings, pouch, tuner, leads..... bidding starts at 10 quid ! (they must be worth that !) whoever offers most by end of the month I will send them to and I will pay postage....
Winning bidders payment goes straight to Bob in forum support... and if you leave it to the last minute to bid, your bid will be cancelled ... This ain`t Ebay !

Strings comprise of Set of George L`s E9th complete plus various loose strings of different makes and a wallet to keep`em in ... Tuner is a Korg DT2 with case working order, there are two George L type leads the ends alone retail about 4 or 5 quid each..... there is also a no name tone bar not pictured but very nice (and so useful to have a spare I speak from experience having played a night with a borrowed 17mm chromed long reach socket! ) ;)

What an excellent gesture JD, if these sell then any donations are, as always, very much appreciated.

I've "stickied" this sale so that it stays at the top....which gives me another idea....is it worth offering to "sticky" for sale items for a fee, if the seller wanted to have a "premium" listing? I'm thinking £2 - £5 to stick at the top for a month? Just thinking aloud.....let me know what you guys think?

Very good idea Marc, and very reasonable ,,,, I quite often put buyers in touch with sellers and always promised "a drink!?" that seldom if ever comes .
I would much prefer these people.... AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE..... To send something in support of our wonderful forum....
The other "Beef" I have is how do you combat apathy?? 46 people viewed my "auction" none of them thought it worth a gamble (post free) for a tenner with the result going to the forum,,,,,,, come on you guys DO I HAVE TO BUY IT MYSELF???????
:evil:

Think I'm going to have to make an Irish gamble here and put the tenner up..

I had a job at a bakery once because I kneaded dough, but this is ridiculous!! :guitar:
