Auctioneer has lots more to offer
An expert in collectibles has just relocated to fakenham where he has opemed an Aladdin’s Cave for hobbyists.
It’s a business which grew out of his very first sale some 40 years ago when he bought an old sixpence (2½p) for 10/- (50p) and sold it the same day for £1.
That was in 1969 when David James opened his first shop in Norwich after a career in the Army serving in Borneo and Aden.
After a more recent period on Syderstone business park he has now relocated to Norwich Street, Fakenham, where 5000 square feet of storage space houses thousands of items such as postage stamps, cigarette cards, medals, bank notes, coins, postcards, old maps, prints, books and much more besides.
“We have one of the largest stocks of collectables in this country, if not in Europe.” he said. As an auctioneer and valuer he is an expert in the many branches of collecting but also has at his elbow a team of 20 consultants whose specialist expertise gives the business a vast knowledge of the worth of anything and everything a collector might be after. That ranges from valuable penny blacks to ten-a-penny contemporary trade cards given away by companies such as Brooke Bond, Kellogg’s abd McDonalds.
At any one time the company has up to 500 items on eBay as well as holding monthly auctions and fairs around the eastern region. “We sell one tonne of stamp albums through our auctions every month and we’ve just past the 2000 auctions.” he said.
But it is also very challenging business where collecting habits can change rapidly. Cigarette cards are currently not in vogue unless they are early and rare. But anything containing either gold or silver is much sought after as the value of bullion rises world-wide.
It is also a business where big money is paid for rarity. Currently he has letters, sent before postage stamps were introduced in 1840 with the advent of the Penny Black. One, dated 1666, is valued by the distance it travelled: the greater the distance the greater the value. Marks on the correspondence record the total mileage with the recipent paying accordingly. Another lucrative market is old cheques and postal orders.

Auction for Bank Owned Properties in Owasso and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
Last Updated on Thursday, 26 August 2010 12:20 Written by a2e Thursday, 26 August 2010 12:20
National ResidentialAuctioneers [http://www.natresauctions.com] announces the auction of two bank-owned residential real estate lots in Owasso and Broken Arrow, on September 17, according to Stephen Karbelk, CAI, AARE, Broker.
“Bidders have a great opportunity to live in one of the best subdivisions Broken Arrow has to offer and build new on a lot with mature trees nestled in a quiet bend in the road. There is great potential here for spec home from a builder as well,” said Karbelk. “This property is only a few minutes from the Broken Arrow Expressway and a short commute to downtown Tulsa.”
Located at 29502 E. 63rd Street in Broken Arrow, the first property is a 2.40 acre residential lot in the established Woodland Hills subdivision. The lot was formerly improved with a single family home which was lost to fire and has been cleared to the concrete foundation.
The second parcel consists of two residential lots totaling 5.0 acres at 9902 N. 161st Street East Avenue in Owasso.
“These lots are located on a quiet road only minutes from major retail and Highway 169,” said Karbelk. “This would make an excellent private getaway that would still be close to all that Owasso has to offer. We’re offering both lots for one bid.”
The auction for the Broken Arrow property is set for Friday, September 17 at 10am, while the Owasso property will be auctioned at 12:30pm. Properties may be inspected any time.
Bidders must register prior to the auction. Please see the property information package for complete terms and conditions. Broker participation is encouraged. For more details about the property, visit http://www.natresauctions.com or call toll free (877) 895-7077.
