mcspool Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Anybody know why this collection is being auctioned? John Belfield is getting older (he's in his 70's, IIRC), I guess that has something to do with it. Hanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Seems to be the thing in Oz- Some one has a museum, gts old then sells it all off rather than preserving the collection for posterity. I was bidding on a DUKW last year under similar circumstances - alas it got to the point where, with shipping back to the UK it was unviable so had to drop out. Think the closing price was around Aus $ 70,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
