Auction Finds - More Militaria (and a dangerous find!!!)
Anything related to the military makes a popular collectible, and the field is vast. We regularly pick up bits and pieces among the auction job lots. Sometimes though, an unwanted item sneaks in! More about that a little later!
Rhodesian General Service Medal and a 1980 Zimbabwe Independence Medal, numbered and named. I have these listed for R395. ($30).
Military tin with buttons, insignia and a dog tag.
Gun cleaning set.
A few military photos.
Military souvenir ceramic tankards.
A large brass shell casing. People love to use them to store umbrellas, golf clubs, or walking sticks.
And old mortar shell. I briefly listed the 2 items above but had to remove them. There was nothing wrong with the listings, BUT we had purchased an additional item with the 2 above. I know somebody (as we tend to do) and had the third object checked out. This resulted in dire warnings of long term room and board at a correctional government facility, and/or alternatively a raid on the shop by a number of men in black and slavering dogs. We promptly packed the offending object back with the above 2 items above and sent it back to the auctioneer, who very quickly returned them to the original owner.
很不错的职位

The best part of the post for me are these vintage pictures! :)
I love old photos too, and have quite a few, but they are really poor sellers!
Ah i see! Wish you good luck with future sales!
Thank you @firepower :)
LOL Yeah the long term free room and board is not a fun option LOL
Crazy old army gear. WoW
Hahaha, yes!
I had a Friend whose Daughter went to a Teenage party , the one Boy's uncle was a Recce and the boy took a Morta, brought it to the party , where the kids were fooling around with it . Some were killed , his Daughter had very severe burns over most of her body and died a while later.
This is a horrific story. I was very irritated that the person who sold this item did not take my warning seriously, probably as I am a woman. But I had it checked out by someone who knows....and the information I received was scary to say the least. I sell military items because they provide a good income, but honestly the glorification of the military makes me sick.
I have always thought that when a Politician has a Problem with another Politician( foreign) , they should make them both put on Gloves in a Neutral Ring. See how eager they are to cause trouble then?
Yes, exactly!
We once sent an old children's chemistry set to an auction as it was not in a condition to send to the shop. The person who bought it allowed his young children to play with it unsupervised, resulting in serious burns to a young girl's leg. I feel awful until today.
Terrible , but still, The Parents should have had more sense.
I know, but we also learned a hard lesson. I believe you should face your mistakes in order to correct them.
