Why pay FROM nearly £4 per item to have it valued when here on SGB we do it free

and from any leading auction house a valuation is free,

Very True John..

But You Know What They Say.

Fools And Their Money Are Soon Parted.

I noticed this advert / a similar advert in the Antiques Gazette.

Also you get the witty posters on Southport Forums free of charge as well!

and dont forget about yourself aswell advanced.

Briana, I think you will find that this site has gained posters in the long run with your presence on here. So congratulations! If I am wrong in thinking this - I have enjoyed reading through all posts posted by you. This is a learning experience for both of us, which I am just going to take the time to say thank you to Vanny for!

On another note. Vanny, what have you done with those pictures, just by way of interest. Maybe you could invest in some 17th Century old masters for me. I am sure that is wishful thinking.

Hello and Thank you, I have just got my valuation back from Valuemystuff and they said it is circa 1900 and valued between 200-300. I did send them a lot more photos though. It might look modern because I tried to polish it with bees-wax and pledge

The antique trade is full of opinions

especially when it costs nearly £4

As you can imagine, now that Qlocal is getting more sucsessfull by the day the emails I receive has increased.

Can I please ask you all to enclose a photograph of the item for valuation from now on or I will not be able to answere your question unless a photograph is attached

Thank you.

John Nolan Theantiquesman

This is an email I have just received
the photograph that I am showing is not the one on the email

Hi, as you know the item you have sent a photograph of is not an antique.
but IF it is an original Barry Macey water colour then it worth a quite a
bit of money. By the way your picture is very large on my screen.
Barry Macey was an in-house artist with Paddington & Co. Ltd. for a number
of years and did the artwork for quite a number of the older products and
some of the prints. He also illustrated "Paddington on Screen", a
compilation of stories from the Blue Peter annuals.
My advice is to take it to one of the major auction houses to verify the
item is not a print.
Unfortunately the art market is a funny world. in 2005 3 pictures similar
to yours came up for auction and none of the sold.

Uncle Bulgaria,
Paddington
Paddington Bear Reading The Sporting Times

There is a drawing advertised in artbol.nl
€ 3.150,37. This item I think may be over priced

good luck

hi,
Even though your picture is of the most famous person that has ever lived, I am sorry to say it has very little value.

But can I say, if the human race viewed the values of the person in the picture, your picture would be priceless.

good luck

John
