That sounds like a good job, surfing Ebay all day. I can do that, where do I apply?

Yes, the Treasure Items would be fun to track down (but mostly they're described as from an "old" collection or not British so I doubt if you'd earn any bonuses for getting people's collars felt. Laundering by description is a piece of cake.)

And it would be a depressing job - as you'd also notice the 600 British non-treasure antiquities, often museum quality and mostly unreported, on offer perfectly legally EVERY day.

Roger Bland reported some success 'negotiating' with the seller/buyer when they spot things. Also if they give the nod to Ebay, they will pull the item. Ah well, it's a start anyway.

Do you have a link to see what's on offer on e(vil)Bay please Nigel? Just for research (and training) purposes. I'm not going to auction my small ?flint tool? honest.

[Please use proper quotes Nigel. We know you can :-).]
