I have quite a few genuine Neve drawing prints from when I was there in the 70s. Maybe I could make them into unique jigsaws and sell then for a grand each. Any takers?

Cheers

I'm not sure if you're serious, Ian, but please don't cut those. Just put them in a frame. I'm sure some would pay a reasonable amount for those.

BTW, if you can't tell, I'm serious.

My best friend's mother was the accountant at a local tractor and implement dealership back about 20 years ago. They had a big display of straw hats, of the sort that farmers usually wear. They'd been there for several years, but only a few were ever sold. She asked the owner if she could mark the price down from $12 to $5 to get rid of them. He replied, "Put $20 on 'em."

She thought he was crazy, but they were all gone within a few weeks... It seems that potential buyers believed that the hats must be of very high quality if they cost that much.

I saw a sign recently that boiled down to "buy one, pay two". I asked the sales person if it worked. He hadn't even noticed the sign was wrong.
