“I took them home, gave them a wee clean up and went online." Looks like he did OK -- but I flashed on those "Antique Roadshow" episodes where someone scours an antique with steel wool to make it look nice and fetch a higher price. D'oh!

Well that wasn’t hard at all, now was it? Like those who win the lottery buying their first ticket.

Good one - hadn’t thought of that.... Very good play on it
