neddy Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I used to have a Derby Gazette dated friday March 25 1864 with the Sheffield Flood story on the front page, I'd picked it up at an antique fair, got a mention in the Star at the time.

Guest nevynd Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I love the way they have highlighted the ****NO RESERVE**** as if it is a bargain, and then put the starting price on at £500.00. Genius.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I love the way they have highlighted the ****NO RESERVE**** as if it is a bargain, and then put the starting price on at £500.00. Genius.. Better and better - It didn't sell (what a surprise!) so they've now relisted it at £499! And better still, if you follow the link in the original post, eBay says the sale has finished, but lists another copy at 99p! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
