A Warning for UK collectors

[Peter Laidler]

Go on then, someone in the UK, tell me in laymans terms just how do you put a bayonet on that auction site now. We want to dispose of a 'few' and it just seems to come to a grinding halt......... as much as I enjoy a good grind, that's all I seem to do...... come to a grinding halt if you'll excuse the phrase!

Should I open another account, in say South Carolina with a SC address - or just ask a SC resident to put them up with 'item located at BA10 1YZ England? Wierd or what!!!!!!!!!!

Here in Germany, almost all e-pay Enfield items are closed off (they are not shown and blocked off by a text stating that the items are "not permitted to be sold in this area"). Even tools or webbing items etc. are blocked. So don´t know why gun items are ever entered.

The positive aspect is that there´s a reputable and reliable gun auction site here that works for buyers and sellers from any country: http://www.egun.de/market/browse.php. The only problem is that it´s in German but only minimum language skills are necessary and items are very often described in English. Enfield items to be found under the heading: Sammlerwaffen/-munition

Never use the e-b*ggers any more!

Hello Peter, there have been two spike bayonets listed & sold on ebay.co.uk in the last week or so (I bid unsuccessfully on both... ), but I reckon only because the sellers managed to sneak them 'under the wire' somehow. The first (Item number: 220871460026) avoided all mention of the word bayonet & was listed as a 'letter opener', which seems to be an acceptable category, while the second (Item number: 140620919838) was entitled a '"Pig Sticker" Bayon.' & listed in 'Field Gear' (although it was actually described as a bayonet later in the listing, which seems to have been strangely missed by eBay).

I've just done a quick search for 'bayonet' & there are several on there from what appear to be UK sellers - see item numbers: 320779320977, 320779322578, 220881974593 & 140626575560, for examples - but they're all listed in US Dollars, so perhaps that's a workaround (or they've been listed on ebay.com, of course). Maybe a message to the sellers might bear fruit?


Hope this helps,

Kevin

No need for another account, you just need to log on in on the USA site, go to the bottom of the home page, all countries listed at the bottom, you know when you are in as everything appears in $$ as long as its not listed in Knives or contain Knives in the listing category then not a problem to anyone in the UK wishing to bid and no need to provide ID etc
