Weathered!! That's putting it mildly!!!

Looks more like it's been dropped in a can of undercoat. Is this guy serious? Even calls them 55's at one point, mind you it is hard to make out what they are with all that "weathering"!

That is probably the idea. All he has done is masked a previous rubbish paint job which is why he probably bought it for 75p at a boot sale, and can guarantee selling it as a 'unique' item for many times that amount until all the idiots have run out of money.

I like this one

Paul, it's funny that you should ask that, because what puzzles me is how comes so many people give him positive, in fact, glowing, feedback. It's almost like there are two separate sets of things going on at once. Perhaps Aldo has a split personality, with one persona running sensible, honest auctions, and the other persona being the Aldo we all know and love!

Cheers, Steve

Maybe some of them are Aldo's alter egos!

John.

i did toy with the idea of placing a bid and if winning then saying i would collect from torbay and could i see it running before cash payment?

just out of curisity you understand

and also if everyone put in a high bid on everything and then refused to pay the listing/selling fees would sting a bit!!!
