Oh 'Nando,
The staff of all the leading English auction houses - Bonhams, Christie's and Tom Del Mar, in alphabetical order - know the forum and they promised me that they irregulary check at least my threads!
Whenever I have posted something on an item they sold they receive an extra link from me, just like all the other sales houses.
So I guess I have done my duty as a forum mercenary - btw, where's my pay? My Christmas check has not arrived. Last year the hospital I was in cashed it, and this year??
Best,
Michl
