Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.
As anybody who has dealt with me in the past knows, I'm a one trick pony where Bond is concerned (although what a pony!) and will also know that I'd hoped to get my "items" out to as many fans as I could at an affordable (or reasonable) price. Luckily, some of you took me up on that and I hope you are all still pleased with the ones you bought and that the majority of you are still happy with any that you got from me (or at least made a decent profit if you sold them on). Even better if all past buyers are still happy but it's impossible to please all so I'm not going to push my luck and assume that all are.
Thanks to a couple of factors beyond my control (trust me, I tried my best), that stopped and although I never wanted to go down the auction house route as it would have made them much more expensive for the "average" fan, needs must, so I have put 2 lots in with Ewbanks and I am "plugging them" here, sorry. The only other ones of note that I have listed were with Omega which were then resold at a decent markup, typically, which is fine as I have no problem with people making money on them as long as they "keep them honest" which has not always been the case, unfortunately .
They are still reasonably priced (in comparison) and the starting/guide prices are a lot cheaper than many others that have sold through the auction houses in the past plus in better condition than many of them too, believe it or not.
I just wanted anybody who missed out when they first appeared to have the chance to get hold of some if of interest. Obviously, I still hope to find more of the ones I still have appreciative homes but the shine has sort of worn off due to some not so good experiences over the years but hey, it happens.
Thanks for your time, take care and thanks again to all that have dealt with me over the last 5 years or so.

Hi Garin, I hope you are well.
It’s good to hear from you and I’ll happily say that the casino plaques you sold to me are the best Bond item I’ve ever purchased and are jewels in my 007 collection. Your expert knowledge about the plaques and your courtesy were also extremely welcome.
For anyone who hasn’t yet purchased a plaque(s) from Garin, you do not want to miss out, believe me. You will not regret it!
Really glad to hear that you are still pleased with them (and that they are jewels in the collection) and thanks for the endorsement, appreciated. Plus, it's great that they went to such an appreciative home which always makes me (stupidly) happy.
Hope all is well and that you have a great week. Thanks again for the kind words.
