Dear All - just wanted to tell you how very impressed I was dealing with Advertising Antiques.
Never heard of Adv.Antiques before - didn't know anything about you but through the wonders of modern technology and your guidance - we completed the deal easily.
My dread was how to get three heavy enamel signs to you - but through the wonders of Waitrose who gave me packaging materials,a load of parcel tape and a cracking courier collection service - we did it.
Excellent service Al - would recommend Advertising Antiques to anyone!
best wishes

Hi Al,
Thanks for collecting the enamel signs as promised. Nice to meet someone who's obviously passionate about his business and we are pleased you've got another old sign you can add to your collection. Much better you had it where it will be appreciated than sitting in our shed! Your valuations seemed fair and there was no messing about with you as can happen with ebay. All the best. Roberts, S. Glos

The professionalism of Alex's site says it all. We had virtually agreed a price for
my two elderly 'Tea Lady' enamels before I took them to his house….thereafter there
was no tedious haggling, just a fair price. I had expected cash as we'd never met before
..let alone leave some priceless enamels with him !....not unexpectedly, the cheque he gave
me instead went thru' quite seamlessly. This guy comes recommended

Re: Old Enamel signs
Al
You wanted a piece for your website concerning our recent deal. Try this:
"I collected a few, good quality enamel signs in the 70s. Earlier this year I moved house and wanted to sell the signs. I had no idea of their value. On the internet I found Al of Advertising Antiques. He offered my a surprisingly high (and very fair) price for my signs. He kept a few and sold on the rest. He was very happy with the deal and I was very happy too. On top of that he was a pleasure to deal with. I couldn't recommend him more highly."

Good luck in the future.

Dear Alex ... just wanted to say thank you for the fair price you quoted & subsequent prompt arrival of your cheque, in respect of the items you purchased from me. I hope I shall be able to tempt you again with other things, when I've done some more turning out!!

It was a pleasure to do business with Advertising Antiques. I was quickly offered a fair price and once the sale was agreed, I received a cheque within a short time. Although I found Advertising Antiques on the web, it was simpler and quicker for me to sell direct rather than use an online auction.
Best regards

Sincere thanks once again for another rewarding purchase from Al at 'advertisingantiques'. I am finding that the site can produce results without the uncertainties that are involved on ebay for example. Although we have never met, I am impressed with the honesty demonstrated when dealing directly with Al, regardless of how big or small the item or amount involved. The integrity shown is equalled only by his enthusiasm for the subject. I offer this post as encouragement for the continued development of the site. | |

Al - this is to confirm for you that we are delighted with the courteous and
business-like manner that you discussed and completed the recent purchase
from us of 18 enamel advertising signs that had been on display at the above
pub. It is rare, in my experience, for a transaction to go through so
fairly, smoothly and amicably.
You came on the day appointed with the cash, as arranged, and removed the
signs as planned.
I thank you for your interest and hope to deal with you again in the
not-too-distant future.
Best wishes

It was great to meet up with you this afternoon 27/01/07 viewing your collection and talking about the hobby & bottles was a pleasure, after 30 years of collecting I was very pleased with your offer for my sign coupled with rapid email advice this made for a great transaction. I personally wouldn't hesitate to work with you in the future.

RE: poster for sale
Please do not worry about doing business with Al. I was a little concerned myself about selling on line but needn't have worried. Al was friendly, helpful and very encouraging AND he gave me a very fair price for my showcard. I would recommend Al to anyone. Anne.

Thanks for meeting me halfway despite the traffic. I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone that wishes to conduct business in your specialist area. Thanks

Al from Ad Antiques bought my enamel signs from me for a good price and did not try to reduce the price on the day. Nice genuine guy who is passionate about what he does!
