It has nothing to do with the item.'Most of my collectionis one of a kind. I bought the items because I liked it for myself. They werenever intended to be resold. Each item has a story and when possible I handcarried in my luggage from all over the world to bring back to Australia. Someof the items have travelled a long way away and some of the items has been withme for 65 years. I am now retired and need to downsize. I will not be able tobuy a similar item again and definitely not able to sell it at the same price.If you buy an item from me it most likely is the only one I have.
