Re: [britains_floral_garden] Re: Floral Garden on Ebay

Hi Tracey,
To start with I couldn't understand why it was so expensive. I couldn't remember
any Chad Vally or garden that was ever sold in a box like that.
So I emailed the seller for some better pictures .... which he sent me.
The pictures weren't much better than what he had on the auction page.
Then I sat down with a glass of Pimm's and took a closer look at the pictures
........
I looked and looked and then I thought, that's not right .... that's an old
cutlery box! .... and on the inside that's an old wooden cigar box!

So I emailed him back and told him it was an old cutlery box with an old cigar
box and unless the cigar box was full of flowers the whole lot was probably only
worth £10-£20!

He emailed me back and said I was right! :-D :-D

<<Hi Diane....go on, let me in on it...!
Must say though, it seems a lot of money for what it is!
Best wishes, Tracey.>>
