As ISMY has kindly agreed to run another More For A Score competition and given the all clear to start buying stuff to enter later It's probably worth having a thread for the stuff people might buy. (In other words I'm over excited and can't wait to start...)


For those who haven't played, the rules are simple. (and ISMY's decision is final so what I'm about to write is up for confirmation)

1) buy anything that tells the time for under twenty pounds (or whatever the local equivalent is).

2) New, old, pocket watch, alarm clock, Mickey Mouse watch, whatever you fancy.

3) Provide some sort of proof of purchase - this could be a receipt or, more likely a link to the sale - and lots of pictures of your bargains.

4) Try to keep the postage within the £20, (but in practice this is fairly elastic as long as it is not silly - don't miss out on something amazing for want of £3 postage )

5) Broken watches are fine as long as disclosed. Heroic efforts to repair, recondition and generally improve watches and clocks at home are encouraged.

6) the closing date will arrive by popular consent and then there will be a series of polls to decide the winning watch. There's a badge, bragging rights and whatever extra prizes members want to put in the pot.

7) there is no limit on how many watches you can buy, discuss and wonder aloud about, but you can only make one formal entry.

The more the merrier and good luck to all.
