I had a look at all them Britains models and most of the boxes was in good condition and so was models inside ,plenty of customers was buying from him ,yes he might have been £10 per model dearer than other traders on the day but if you are looking at a certain model to complete/add to you collection then you wont the best there is and you pay for quality

without starting an argument trigger, define overpriced ?… seems way to many want stuff cheaper than its prob worth of late , those pics all show to me what i would say is classic britains  items and look mint , these sellers need to make a living and may well do that by selling this stuff .  if its to pricey for your pocket go else where, you aint made to buy it  as we always say on here, no ones got a gun to your head ,well that we know of when the “got to have mist “ kicks in 😂😂😂😂 

No not saying anything wrong with the price off stuff but as a model collector some stuff getting to dear to buy and keep . Very good run show it looked to be .

A lot of the prices were fair and reasonable. A few items I saw I thought were over priced for the condition but if it is a model you have been after for a while, you would pay the price to add it to the collection. Plenty of sellers and a great variety to choose from.

I am more buy it when you see it otherwise it will be gone!

Here are my purchases

So sorry to hear that Nige. My parents farming friends lost 2 of their three sons in tragic accidents at different times, the eldest left a wife and young daughter, the youngest with his other brother who was driving and another drunk local farmer ran into them, how one lives with something like that ,I don't know. One of them was born the same day as me, that's how they met - in the maternity ward.

  Sussex tractors former owner lost his daughter suddenly to meningitis in her twenties (I think).

Best wishes, Nige.
