specialvat Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Customs: Can you explain this amount of currency sir ? Buyer: Erm ? NO. Hope he got that lot out of a bank, imagine if some of those 50's were blag. Maybe thats my scouse sense kicking in Thought banks would not allow you to withdraw such amounts to combat crime ?

TeeJay Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Paying that much for a watch, is crazy... Having six identical mil-subs in a collection is OCD gone too far... A fun read, but I think I'll be sticking with reps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand collecting things, afterall, that's why we're all here, but multiples of identical items in a collection, that's a bit too extreme for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljesus Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I guess he takes pleasure in the very (VERY) small variations. And probably knowing the history of each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how DeBoers controls the diamond market. All Mike Wood has to do is sell one or two of at an inflated price at auction to his friend, then his other 17 jump in value.
