    Ladies and gents, I've finally managed to get 30 of the 90 online via eBay.

    It was not as easy as I thought; I guess a number of policies must have changed since I last used this selling account some 8 years ago.

    Unfortunately part way through I was advised that there is a limit of 30 items per month! I have also had to vary the price, as keeping multiple listings at the same price was also problematic.

    As such, there's 30 ready and I'm exploring options other than eBay.

    Perhaps I will have to revisit the suggestion of selling these outside the Coningham Arms. Not such a daft idea given the time its taken to get these posted up! <laugh>

    Thanks sb_73 - I'll get these posted out tomorrow.

    I echo your comment in regard to the design - an absolute classic from DT Footspa / TWGWTDT.

    They photographed well - and look even better on!

    Me too, although I note the shipping cost to Canada is £3.95 for each pin (not combined), so I just went with the one for now. A great design, am looking forward to receiving & proudly wearing it

    Kilburn - this should allow multiple purchases at the same shipping cost - as I can send up to 10 in the same packet and it remains under the weight threshold. It seems to work ok for the UK.

    I had a few gremlins when I was setting this up, and the shipping was one of them; hence why it took me all afternoon. Selling on eBay seems to have got a whole lot clunky since I last used it.

    If you would like me to ship more with this one, please send me a PM and I will setup a new listing to test the multiple shipments to overseas customers, and mail you a link to test it out.

    Sku The design files i will send will be eps or ai cc so maybe the next batches will be of a cleaner cast
    This version was taken from a jpeg
    The design albeit simple required exact maths to look clean and balance IMO I know from experience that this isn't always obtainable on casting
    Stroke weights are a bit thick but i am a real fussy ****er
    There are a few compromises to the design I would question but overall the simple idea comes over well and they already look like they have been around for years .. that is good
    brilliant work Sku never know this batch may be worth something one day mate

    Thank you all for your feedback.

    I have dispatched all those ordered before 1.00pm today with the exception of the two overseas.

    I am unhappy with the logistics for overseas. Not being able to combine postage presents very poor value [and I have obtained a price saving to pass on] - so I wish to make a few changes, but I'm mindful that eBay is notoriously difficult to do this after the point of purchase.

    To this end, if the two that have ordered to Canada and Australia can PM me, I'll sort out a better arrangement; especially if you want more than one and were put off by the postage.

    Beth and others - I will be around pre-match in the Coningham - but with childcare to arrange on matchdays, it's sometimes tight, especially if there's a delay en route.

    Would a meet up by the ambulance at 5.00pm on the exit of Ellerslie Road stand be a better idea??
