  3. I have got to thank everyone who supported the show the visitors , traders and all those who haul there collections and displays around the country just to show off there great work just for the love of it , manny thanks to all those that donated prizes and those who put there hands in there pockets to buy raffle tickets and join in with the tombola , also thanks to everyone’s for there understanding of all the on going improvements the centre is going through this year but it will be all finished early next year so back to normal next year with breathing space and not cramming everyone in ,,, we had 650 adults and around 150 children through the door so numbers are getting better each year and there were quite a few who could not make it because of all the floods around Doncaster/ Nottingham and Sheffield, we also managed to raise £600 for the charity CLIC Sargent witch was slightly down from last year but my work will be adding a extra £250 this next week so all good . the last thanks are to all the help we get from family and friends,, Sam Wadsworth was a fantastic help assisting me putting the signs out and rearranging the tables , all in all the show would not happen if it was not for the joint effort from everyone so thanks again,,,watch this space for next years dates
  4. When did you last see a que at a uk farm model show like this
  5. I took some early on before everyone came in on Sunday but the tractor twitcher took all the official one that are going on Facebook on his spin off page doing show reports and on our Lakeland page but here is a taste
  6. Well if we post to manny photos than there’s no point to anyone visiting the show ,,, yes I agree come to our show for a visit it’s a great crowd
  7. Cracking meal tonight at the RAJ Indian restaurant in Penrith a nice reward after me a Sam Wadsworth put up the signage for the show in the freezing cold ,, but at least this year it was not raining,
  8. Hi guys week ends here again hope you good one and ready to spend a few quid
  9. This year’s show model is the Britain’s jcb 3c mk 3 as this standard model this is getting hard to get your hands on for a fair price now we have taken this opportunity to do a show model on this , the model is modified with custom made wheels and ribbed tyres , decals including rear chevons , Orange beacon in the roof and the rear bucket has been painted red these are on sale on the day priced at £55 each on a first come first served, no1 will be listed on eBay on the run up to the show on a 10 day auction this makes its fair for all to get no1
  10. I will tell you what is happening,, there are one or two out there constantly emailing me for these models 3080 masseys 6930 WIKING John deers then these people at bidding them up on eBay but they are never paid for ,, this then make everyone talk about these models thinking this is what they are worth,,, then genuine people get there’s from out the woodwork and put there’s on eBay and they don’t make anything like that sort of money ,,or if they do they are again not paid for ,,,£300 £400 , these dodgy guys are then buying them if they Finnish cheep enough or selling there own making the models look as if they are worth more ,, hard to explain but it is some sort of scam ,,,, I wish we could make a list of all the eBay user names that are messers of con artist because when I talk to other traders and my customers that sell models the same names come up all the time and the same MO ,,,
  11. Well I have managed to get some models knocked out for this show as we had such a good Christmas sale we have struggled to get back on top ,,, but never mind ,, looking forward to the first show of the year and what a great show it is ,, I will be organising a meal out and will post up the details over the weekend for saterday night ,,, see you all soon
  12. Seen this a the great Yorkshire show ,, I am not sure weather I like there beer better than there tractor or like the tractor more than there beer !!!!
  13. When I went to pick my new puppy up I seen this
  14. That's looks weird even for me ,,
  15. eBay charging the same % on postage as the auction end final price has only been in effect for just over a year this was to discourage sellers making up the eBay fees or extra income on the postage as you have seen more so in the past ,, but by the looks of it some sellers are still charging over and above for postage ,,, eBay and PayPal are benefiting from this ,,, there are lots of things wrong with eBay and I am so glad other auction sites as well as Facebook are taking off to compete with eBay , this might bring things in to line for all , On the new ray trucks they do look good and I am pleased to see new Ray and other company's are do more with the 1/32 scale trucks as Siku have discontinued the push along Scania low loader set last year ,,,
  16. The whole ebay charges are a pain in the but ....I have been selling on there for years and now they charge a % on the postage cost as well ,so once you take the paypal payment you are charged a total of 20% on the total sale and postage cost , I do see some expensive postage costs and understand the problems / frustration ,,,but the strange one for me is how the hell do some of the sellers on there sell say ,,, a standerd Siku model including postage free and still be competitive with price against retail price and other traders selling the same model plus postage ,,, and I know what the trade price is even with bulk buying and discount incentives,,, they can only be making aprox £4.00 a model ? Then pay the tax man ,, If you look on my ebay account my prices are marked up to accomandate the ebay / paypal fees but postage is reasonable,, then I have to send every thing recorded delivery so I am coved on the paypal buisness policy ,,, I as a buisness can not afford to sell on eBay and charge the same price as I do at the shows / web site ,, If any one wants any thing off me that you see on eBay I can always do a better price via my web site or even better contact me directly ,
