The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I believe he did a full restore...

That's a problem itself.

Buyers want either original, no matter how tired, or a minty fresh restoration. There's no in-between for 90% of the target audience.

Thats an older resto that is now looking slightly tired, so it won't appeal to either side of the market. Someone'll be interested for sure, but the two largest sectors of the market aren't going to be interested.

That leaves those that don't care, who are in a minority, and those after project and want something that can be returned to minty fresh status. Those buyers are far less numerous, and neither will pay top coin. They buy cheap because they can't afford original or concours, and then put the time in themselves.

I found my car keys a few minutes ago. Two errors here on my behalf, the wrong hook and I told Mrs P.......🙄

In my defence they were in the kitchen, the right room, on a hook, the right place.......... I was very tired after Monday's epic.

I also had a wander up to the Co-op for a couple of things. For once something I enjoy has actually been reduced slightly. I like the hot smoked salmon fillets with a chilli flake covering. I think they hit £6 at once point but they are back down to £5. Not too bad for 2 fillets.
