what do you reckon these would be worth,,, i`m getting old & a little out of touch with prices these days,,, things that i used to think were only worth $50 people are saying they`re worth $100... & so on

so,,, i have some early mini horn buttons & i have a few people interested in them, i`ve just taken some pics & want to be fair with my price as they`re not "Perfect" but they`re in pretty damn good nick all the same



the red "M" is fading bad on one of them but the "M" is still quite clear,,, & the other one has some funky stuff happening inside the plastic, but the "M" is still all there & there is "some red colour still left in most of it

the tube nut is still in tact & not brolen or wobbly, the earth strap is still good & attached etc,,, both will work fine & dandy

so,,, $50 each ???

what do you lot think???

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

I reckon you need a camera.

Those watercolours that you keep posting look nice but just don't show the fine details of the artwork.

it`s a contempory-abstract type of art,,, based on artists like Picasso

it`s all the rage now-days, it`s come back in vogue

blurs the lines between whats real & what`s not,,, sort of "mystical" photography

when attaching an interpretation on these pieces one needs to relax & let the mind wander into what it "could" look like if i had a decent camera

that`s just the ambiance i was aiming at

It's probably just us older folks that could relate to these comments, my question to Matt would be WHAT THE FRIG ARE YOU SMOKIN ? Or did you get hit in the head with your surfboard , as for the horn centre's i think you'd be close to the money.

hee hee,,, yeah i`m an old hippy from way back, born from 2 even older hippys from even more way back If you`ve ever been to my Dad`s place & see what he`s dressed in (or rather more what he isn`t wearing ) you`d know what i mean

funny enough , my Aunty (Dad`s Sister) lives in Nimbin, ( In a prpoerty called "Paridise Valley" up the back of the Rainbow Valley) we used to drop in there every May-day holiday weekend on the way back from the Grafton Hillclimb, great place, she`s re-plenished the natural rainforest,,, ripped out all the Lantenae by hand over the years she`s been there, Big Job but well worth it,,, it`s a truely "BEAUTIFULL PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" water falls & ,,, well it`s just Heaven on Earth.


ah well,,, now i`m babbling again
