Tip:
If you win the bid or press BuyNow, you don't need to ask for my name/address.
Just go to your 'My eBid' and click 'My Closed Auctions (I bid on)', then click on the name of the auction that you have won.
My name and address appear below the item details.


Tip:
Sometimes people have e-mail trouble. If you go to eBid's Forums section you can PM me.

· very good - not distinguishable from new unless you look carefully.
· good - perhaps only slight wear with age.
· pretty good - a bit of wear with age and/or use, but still good second-hand condition.

One last thing:
I have noticed some people in this country are using US words. Come on, make an effort!

I should tell you that I have nothing against US English - it's fine when used in the US; I just don't want to use it in this country, that's all.

So for the benefit of those who are not clear, below is a list of just some of the words whose British and US spellings are different. Be sure to use the correct ones for your country!
See how many more you can find. Hey, it's fun!

So, if you live in Blighty, please use:

armour, not armor
blond (of a man), not blonde
calibre, not caliber
centre/centred/centring, not center/centered/centering
cheque (money), not check
chequered, not checkered
colour, not color
defence, not defense
dialling/dialled, not dailing/dialed
endeavour, not endeavor
enrol, not enroll
favour, not favor
favourite, not favorite
fibre, not fiber
fulfil, not fulfill
harbour, not harbor
honour, not honor
humour, not humor
instalment, not installment
jewellery, not jewelry
kerb (edge of the path or road), not curb
labelling/labelled, not labeling/labeled
labour, not labor
lacklustre, not lackluster
manoeuvre, not maneuver
marvellous, not marvelous
medallist, not medalist
metre (of music or poetry), not meter
modelling/modelled, not modeling/modeled
mould, not mold
neighbour, not neighbor
odour, not odor
offence, not offense
programme (TV or scheme), not program
pyjamas, not pajamas
rumour, not rumor
sabre, not saber
saviour, not savior
sceptical, not skeptical
skilful, not skillful
splendour, not splendor
valour, not valor
vapour, not vapor

Of course, there is still the matter of proper nouns, such as Congressional Medal of Honor, but that's for some other time.

Yes, I know you have seen some or all of the US versions of those words in British magazines and even occasionally in official government or school documents. But the fact that a lot of people get something wrong doesn't make it right. :-)

Kind regards.
