strangely I dont think I'd enjoy the experience of buying from John Manship, especially on his auctions. I believe Id have to give up allot of my personal info to him in advance of any bid, and the whole bidding thing just puts me off, I know I'm not going to get a bargain, so really whats the use.. you can buy big ticket stuff any day of the week from various sources...
I just see the whole things as tainted, old blokes or strange hermits tucked away in far flung places with big fat wallets, its a circus where you throw your money into the ring, hoping you might come out with a trophy for your efforts..
Thats not record collecting, and its not my idea of fun... I get more of a buzz buying a fiver record on here off somebody like Des, thats as good as a thousand pounder, I dont care if every man and his dog has it, cause I dont, and cause its the music that counts....
Now you can all aim your fat wallets at me and FIRE!!!
