Roland Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Well a few feather merchants - fanciers, obtain belgium rings and ring their youngster here, and sale them on later after a year or two ... I wonder why that is!
peter pandy Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 The rings they were selling caught my attention as they were a multitude of colours so stopped and browsed. Was I the only person who noticed they were selling Unicon and other ETS rings advertised at 5p each.I wanted to buy the packet of 100 and offered them £5 for the lot, however they produced a calculator and asked for £50.00. or 50p each which I declined as their was no way of telling if they were genuine although they appeared to have a chip inserted. If Dougie Bald had been in attendance on the Unikon stand I would have had him verify their authenticity. Bottom line !! I kept my money in my pooch.
sapper756 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 Opposite to pb meeting andy they were also selling clock rubbers, http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif yes at a bargain i believe
