    Not a very good picture is it ? Wrapped in cling film ?

    Second hand I'd buy off a known member off a forum over auction any day, you have very little idea what you are actually going to be getting, like all those fire damaged Weihrauchs that have been put through auctions.

    If you can organise with the auction house, I am happy to collect and post.

    Only just down the road from me.

    Not the mannequin, I'm already collecting that, for a friend obviously.

    Don't worry, I'll look after her for you. Probably need to run her through the dishwasher after handover though.

    I've bought a few from the saleroom and missed out on far more because I will not bid high when factoring in fees and possible faults.
