Rare item for a bargain?
« on: May 30, 2012, 23:08:51 »
I don't know how rare it actually is, but it seems very rare to me. I had never seen it before but in catalogues.
I won it in an auction for 3 pounds and received it today :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
It was a bargain wasn't it?  ???
Anyway, I LOVE IT!!

I love it too!  :love:
I've seen them go for more than this; in fact I've been outbid a number of times on ones like this and similar ones and I was bidding more than you paid.  :(
So yes. I think you did well and it was a bargain.

there were others from this series from the same seller, but those went for a lot more... around 12 pounds each  ;D

You pick up a great set at a bargain price. I like and wish to someday find many of these red ribbon series

Congratulations

That gnome series has a lot of really cool sets in it. You really found a nice one, tonguello. I think these normally are quite rare, indeed.
