Hello people,
Thank you for your replies which have helped allay my suspicions considerably.
Truthfully I wish that I'd found this forum earlier because sales of the collection my father-in-law made have almost ended now, although inevitably there will be some items unsold. I would have loved to sell them to people whose interest was genuine and sincere.
I guess the reason why I didn't get here before we began selling them on ebay is because my Google searching was sufficiently successful so that all but a few badges were readily identifiable - without really needing to enquire of 'specialist' outlets. Not only that, my wife (who is exceptionally naive about the internet in general) can see her sales happening on ebay whereas sales here and in other outlets sales would only seen once perhaps an email arrives. I have to accept too that they're "her" badges to sell, not mine really...
I apologise therefore - if it's any consolation I'll do my best to offer you the leftovers. Not much help to you - although I wouldn't be surprised if some of you haven't already partaken in our sales on ebay anyway.
Regardless of the outcome, thank you again.
