Well in programme terms I had a total bargain from Bonhams of Chester yesterday. Having seeing both the Hamburg and a very rare Torpedo Moscow programme come up for auction I braced myself for a very expensive afternoon.
The phonecall came and with the estimate at £150-£200 I expected the lot to fly, I almost fell off my chair when I heard "lets start the bidding at £50!!! The bidding did not go up much further from that and with commission I won both items for £100.
Not a bad afternoon considering the Torpedo programme sold for £870 on its own on ebay last year....As the saying goes you win some you lose some...thankfully I was the winner !!
