Enigma Machine Up For Sale On eBay.

An Enigma code making machine is up for sale on eBay. Current bids stand at €9,980 but the seller is hoping for a final price of €40,000.
The auction is due to end on 3 April.
The machine was made in 1941 but the serial numbers have been removed, making it impossible to tell who it was used by. It is in working order and comes with two spare rotors. More details here.
The machine is being sold by an "eBay shop" in Munich which uses the online auction house to sell items for customers. A spokesman at the shop told us the machine had been brought in by a customer who got it from his grandfather. He said there had already been a lot of interest in the machine.
An Enigma machine was stolen from Bletchley Park, home to UK code breakers during the Second World War, in 2000. It was eventually returned and a man imprisoned on related charges.
The machines were first made during the 1920s and were used commercially before becoming synonymous with the Nazis.

Famed UK auctioneer Bonhams is into reviving sales of Indian contemporary art with gusto. The art house is fielding 70-plus lots of Indian paintings at its April ’06 sale of Islamic and Indian art in London. The total estimated value of the auction is pegged at £1-1.5m.
Bonhams has also designed the first ever sale of a single Indian artist in May ’06. The auctioneer will place 40 paintings of FN Souza exclusively under the hammer. “We have 71 lots of Indian contemporary paintings at the April auction. There is one catalogue for Islamic and a separate one for Indian art, which includes contemporary paintings.
Just like other auction houses, Bonhams had auctioned Indian contemporary art from the mid-’90s till the late ’90s. Sales stopped because they were not faring well. “The market is far better now and Bonhams has relaunched Indian contemporary art auctions in London from ’04.
The number of lots is increasing every year,” Mehreen Rizvi Khursheed, a specialist of Indian and Pakistani art at Bonhams, told ET from London. In the April auction, Bonhams is fielding top artists, including FN Souza, Tyeb Mehta, Jamini Roy, AR Chugtai and J Swaminathan.
According to Ms Khursheed, on sale is an “immensely powerful” work by Souza, titled ‘Last Howl From The Cross’. “It’s a disturbing image of the crucified Christ, making a last agonised scream from the cross. The painting is set to make a world record price at the sale.
The picture, which has been in possession of a British family since 1964, is estimated to sell between £200,000 and £300,000. The ‘Last Howl’ shows a skeletal Christ with the teeth of a skull,” Ms Khursheed said. The auction also embraces a collection of Souza landscapes, which reflect estimates of £60,000-80,000, £30,000-50,000 and £20,000-30,000.
There are a couple of nudes too, ranging from £50,000-70,000 to £80,000-120,000. At the same time, an ‘emperor’ figure is estimated at £80,000-120,000. All the Souza works have come from private collections and many have not appeared in the market since the 1960s.
On tap are also Tyeb Mehta’s ‘Pink Nude’ pricedat £150,000-200,000, a Swaminathan with an estimate of £60,000-80,000 and a mix of Jamini Roy works from the collection of late Austin Coates. The 11 Roy works have seen estimates of £10,000-15,000 on the higher side and £1,500-2000 at the lower end.
The dedicated Souza sale in May will witness a variety of paperwork. These paintings will embrace watercolours, drawings and oils.

Piece Of London Bridge Goes To Auction Attention.

Maynards has all sorts of exotic antiques for sale in its two-day antique auction, starting tonight.
A rare Irish salver (serving tray) dating to 1736 has brought international interest from Ireland, the U.K. and the United States, and is expected to sell for $50,000 to $70,000.
A beautiful 19th-century Chilkat blanket by the great Fort Rupert artist Mary Ebbetts Hunt has a pre-auction estimate of $30,000 to $40,000.
But the most exotic -- and oddest -- item for sale must be an elm pile from the original medieval London Bridge, which burned in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
The listing for the pile, a tapered pole one metre high and 45 centimetres in diameter, which looks like a giant wooden tooth, says "it was driven in A.D. 1176 in centre #1 abutment of London Bridge."
How do they know? When it was lifted out of the muck in the River Thames in 1937, it was presented to B.C. legend H.R. MacMillan, founder of forest giant MacMillan Bloedel.
"When they were working on the new wharf in London Bridge, they found this in the mud," said Hugh Bulmer of Maynards. "Presumably MacMillan was supplying the timber for the new wharf, so it was a present."
MacMillan kept it in his office for years. When he died in 1976, it was sold in an estate sale by Maynards. The winning bid was $1,500, and the winning bidder was another B.C. legend, Robert Bonner, who went from being B.C. attorney-general under W.A.C. Bennett to CEO of MacMillan Bloedel and chair of B.C. Hydro.
Bonner died last year, so the London Bridge pile is for sale again. The estimate is $1,000 to $1,500, but Bulmer says it's anyone's guess what it will bring.
"We sold it once for $1,500, so there must have been more than one person who wanted it," he says.
"It's a conversation piece. You can imagine it in someone in the timber industry's office. It's a wonderful conversation opener for anyone who walks in."
It definitely caught the attention of some of the people previewing the auction -- which begins at 6 p.m. tonight -- although they had mixed opinions on its merit.
"Even if they gave it to me, I wouldn't take it," Jim McMaster said with a laugh. "We don't have enough room."
"No, it's phenomenal," said his wife Jacqueline. "It looks like a very decayed tooth or something. From a walrus, maybe."
The pile does look quite decayed.
"It's been pickled in London sewage for many generations," said Bulmer.
To the collector, this may add to its allure. It's probably a thousand years old, and looks it.
"It's a great historical piece," said rare book dealer Don Stewart of MacLeod's Books, who figures its provence makes it a natural for a forest company executive.
Bulmer said the 641 lots in the sale should bring in about $500,000.
There are 19th-century swords from Europe and Turkey (estimate $200), a collection of 17th- and 18th-century marrow scoops (est. $1,000 to $2,000) and a pair of red chairs from the investiture of the Prince of Wales at Carnarvon Castle in 1969 (est. $200 to $300).
One of the hottest items is an elegant 18th-century Italian commode made of kingwood with marquetry inlay and Sienna marble. Bulmer has fielded several calls from Europe about the piece.
"It comes from an estate in Maple Ridge," he said. "The Italians will be fighting over it. It is probably going to make $20,000 to $30,000."

Beauty's double contribution to charity auction By Leeds lovely Nell McAndrew is putting one of her hats under the hammer in aid of a vital national charity.
Model Nell, who recently announced she is expecting her first child, handed over two pieces of headgear to be auctioned off in aid of the charity DebRA.
Nell forged strong links with the charity, which helps people with the genetic skin condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), after meeting Jonny Kennedy.
Jonny reached the nation's hearts with his bravery when he appeared in the award-winning documentary The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off. Five million people tuned in to the Channel 4 documentary, screened two years ago. They were touched by Jonny's good humour, bravery and determination to live life to the full. The film charted Jonny's death as well as his life, as he passed away, aged 36, in 2003.
Nell, a DebRA vice-president, has donated a butterfly hat she wore when she first met Jonny, as well as a stunning Gabriela Ligenza hat.
Awareness The Belle Isle beauty said: "I promised my friend Jonny that I would continue to support DebRA whenever I could.
"The charity's Celebrity Mad Hatter eBay Auction is a great way to help raise awareness and funds for such a great cause, by simply bidding for your favourite hat.
"I have donated two hats, the pretty Philip Treacy one I wore when I first met Jonny and a very classy Gabriela Ligenza hat I wore at Ascot. Make sure you bid and support DebRA and keep Jonny's dream alive of finding a cure for EB." Other stars taking part in the auction include Sir David Jason, boxer Amir Khan, Ronnie Corbett, and Ewan McGregor.
The auction will be launched on Thursday, April 27 and will run until Sunday May 21. For more details, visit www.debra.org.uk and click on the mad hatter icon, or to bid visit www.ebay.co.uk on April 27.
On Friday, May 5 people are invited to join DebRA's Mad Hatter campaign by wearing a hat for the day and making a GBP1 donation to DebRA.

Churchill's Popularity Never Fades.
It is just as well, all things considered, that David Cameron promptly gave up smoking as soon as he was elected the new, squeaky-clean Tory leader.
What with a 9p inflation-matching rise on a packet of 20 cigarettes in the Budget and the forthcoming legislation to make smoking in public places illegal, lighting up is clearly not the done thing in political circles nowadays.
It was ever thus. Next month, a half-smoked cigar discarded by Sir Winston Churchill is coming up for auction at Outhwaite and Litherland in Liverpool.
According to the auctioneers, Churchill was told that he could not smoke it at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, so stubbed it out and handed the butt to a special constable.
It might not sound like the most appealing item of historical memorabilia (although the prospect of preserving a strand of Churchillian DNA might appeal to cryogenicists) but the auctioneers have given it a "deliberately low" estimate of between £100 and £200.
Churchill memorabilia is a collector's paradise. Seemingly insignificant items, such as a letter apologising for not making a supper appointment and signed 'W' (offered by the American company History for Sale), can fetch £4,000. A pair of his monogrammed blue velvet slippers reached £6,325 at auction eight years ago.
Interest has remained strong, especially from America where Churchill items hold a special attraction. Auction houses have seen a doubling in value for Churchilliana in the past decade: in 1998, Sotheby's sold one of his side arms for more than £17,000.
A mere four years later, another of his revolvers came up for sale and fetched a staggering £32,000.
A complete set of Churchill books could, at a pinch, be bought for about £1,000 in 1990. Now, you would be hard pushed to see change from £3,000 - and that's not even for first editions.
On eBay last week a rare four-volume, first edition set of The Selected Essays of Sir Winston Churchill dating from 1976 attracted 16 bids and went for £746 - to an American purchaser.
The normal precautions apply: mint condition copies are far more valuable than dog-eared examples. It is also worth avoiding copies that have been leatherbound by the owner - books in their original state are always far more attractive to collectors.
The most valuable Churchill books are first editions of the vanity-published Brodrick's Army and For Free Trade: a 1899 copy of Brodrick was sold for £50,000.
And then there are the paintings. In 1998, Lord Harris of Peckham paid a record £150,000 at Christie's for Churchill's Mimizan, Landes - a view of the Duke of Westminster's house in the South of France. It had been bought in 1965 by an American collector for £9,500.
As for that cigar butt, we'll just have to wait and see: never will they have bid so much for so little.

Seemingly insignificant items, such as a letter apologising for not making a supper appointment and signed 'W' (offered by the American company History for Sale), can fetch £4,000. A pair of his monogrammed blue velvet slippers reached £6,325 at auction eight years ago.
Interest has remained strong, especially from America where Churchill items hold a special attraction. Auction houses have seen a doubling in value for Churchilliana in the past decade: in 1998, Sotheby's sold one of his side arms for more than £17,000.
A mere four years later, another of his revolvers came up for sale and fetched a staggering £32,000.
A complete set of Churchill books could, at a pinch, be bought for about £1,000 in 1990. Now, you would be hard pushed to see change from £3,000 - and that's not even for first editions.
On eBay last week a rare four-volume, first edition set of The Selected Essays of Sir Winston Churchill dating from 1976 attracted 16 bids and went for £746 - to an American purchaser.
The normal precautions apply: mint condition copies are far more valuable than dog-eared examples. It is also worth avoiding copies that have been leatherbound by the owner - books in their original state are always far more attractive to collectors.
The most valuable Churchill books are first editions of the vanity-published Brodrick's Army and For Free Trade: a 1899 copy of Brodrick was sold for £50,000.
And then there are the paintings. In 1998, Lord Harris of Peckham paid a record £150,000 at Christie's for Churchill's Mimizan, Landes - a view of the Duke of Westminster's house in the South of France. It had been bought in 1965 by an American collector for £9,500.
As for that cigar butt, we'll just have to wait and see: never will they have bid so much for so little.

How Lennon Sailed Yacht Safely Home And Found His Muse.
FOR THE FULL AND UP TO DATE LIST OF UK AUCTIONS VISIT THE FREE NEWSLETTER AT: http://www.uk-government-auctions.co.uk/template.html
A ship's log depicting a remarkable voyage in which John Lennon steered a yacht to safety amid a tropical storm is to be auctioned next month.
The log is one of three lots which represent important moments in Lennon's life.
It is to be sold alongside a school exercise book in which he showed his first recorded interest in Lewis Carroll's The Walrus and the Carpenter poem, and a letter signed with fellow band members George Harrison and Ringo Starr marking their managerial split from Paul McCartney.
The 1980 sea voyage is especially significant because it marked an end of the former Beatle's 10-year writing block and led to his final solo album, Double Fantasy.
Lennon, whose father and grandfather were sailors, had always dreamed of making an Atlantic crossing.
When a visit to an oracle in South Africa suggested that the safest voyage would be in a south-westerly direction, Lennon decided to charter the 44ft schooner Megan Jaye and make for Bermuda.
Just hours after leaving Newport, Rhode Island, the vessel found itself in the middle of a ferocious tropical storm and, one by one, members of the crew fell ill.
When the final crew member, the ship's cook, also succumbed, Lennon lashed himself to the wheel and steered the vessel to safety.
Upon landing in Bermuda eight days later, on June 11, 1980, he described how he had regained his courage 15 minutes into the tempest and began reciting old sea-shanties recalled from his childhood. He likened the cathartic experience to performing on stage.
"At first you panic, and then you're ready to throw up your guts but once you get out there and start doing your stuff you forget your fears and you get high on your performance," he said.
Freed from his writer's block by the experience, he completed Double Fantasy just weeks before his murder in December 1980.
The log, on which Lennon wrote the words "Dear Megan, there is no place like no were" includes a doodle of him sporting a beard and is expected to fetch more than £20,000.
The auction also features a letter co-signed by Lennon, Harrison and Starr in which the three, seemingly fearful of McCartney's dominance in the band, formally reject management by the music lawyer Lee Eastman, the father of McCartney's wife, Linda.
Written in 1969, the single-page typed letter is expected to fetch more than £70,000. It states that Eastman was "… not authorised to act as the attorney [sic] or legal representative of The Beatles or of any of the companies which the Beatles own or control …"
The most personal item reveals that Lennon was artistically gifted at a young age.
The exercise book, which significantly is entitled My Anthology, was completed when Lennon was just 12 years old and contains 10 illustrations to poems - including The Walrus and the Carpenter.
"It reveals the inspiration behind the 1967 Beatles classic I am the Walrus,'' said Ted Owen, the director of acquisitions at Cooper Owen auction house.
The exercise book is expected to fetch between £100,000 and £150,000 at the auction, which is due to take place at Madame Tussaud's in central London on April 19.

Borg Decides Not To Sell Wimbledon Trophies.
FOR THE FULL AND UP TO DATE LIST OF UK AUCTIONS VISIT THE FREE NEWSLETTER AT: http://www.uk-government-auctions.co.uk/template.html
Bjorn Borg has decided not to sell his five replica Wimbledon trophies and two rackets he used during his winning streak at the tournament.
Borg had said he was putting the items up for sale because he and his family needed long-term financial security.
"After great consideration and reasoning, I have decided that I will never sell my Wimbledon trophies and racquets and I have withdrawn them from sale," the Swede said in a statement on Monday.
"I now realise how closely connected they are to my success as Wimbledon's winner in 1976-80 and this revelation has caused me to reconsider my earlier intention to sell them."
The trophies and two of the racquets he used in that winning streak had been expected to fetch up to 300,000 pounds at Bonham's auction in London of sports memorabilia on June 21.
U.S. tennis star Andre Agassi had expressed interest in acquiring the trophies and racquets to keep them out of the "wrong hands."
"Trophies of this kind have a meaning that goes beyond my comprehension of the victories, as they emphasise the bond between me as a player and all the people, family, friends and fans that have stood behind me through the years -- people that have my love and respect," Borg said.
Dubbed "Ice Man" by the media for his emotionless performances on court, Borg raked in millions of dollars in prize money during his career before he retired in 1984 aged just 26.
But he could not repeat his on-court success in his fashion business ventures.
Bjorn Borg Design Group crashed in 1989 and he is being sued for 11 million crowns ($1.42 million) by former business associate designer Lars Modin. They case is due to come to court next month.
Borg still makes money from the branding of his name, most notably on a successful underwear line.

Bjorn Borg has decided not to sell his five replica Wimbledon trophies and two rackets he used during his winning streak at the tournament.
Borg had said he was putting the items up for sale because he and his family needed long-term financial security.

The Publican Launches Charity eBay Auctions.
We love freebies at The Publican. We're quite pathetically grateful when we get sent cases of beer, boxes of crisps, chocolate, tickets to major sporting events, trips to exotic destinations and similar goodies. PR companies take note.
However, some of the stuff we get sent in might be high-quality branded merchandise but, for one reason or another, it fails to find an owner.
So we've decided to starting flogging it on eBay, the auction website that appears to have been invented for the sole purpose of shifting unwanted presents. And we're going to donate the profits to a worthy cause - the Licensed Trade Charity.
To kick us off, we've got some stylish bits and pieces from our mates at Heineken, sponsors of the Champions League and, coincidentally enough, the Heineken Cup. The auction includes a floppy sun hat, a pack of playing cards, some cool sunglasses, a zip-up bottle holder and some ear-plugs (don't ask). Also included is a very rare, highly collectible, Proud Of Pubs/National Pubs Week beermat...
You can find the auction on ebay.co.uk by clicking on the link below, searching for our user name, thepublicansales, or by auction number 6265126417. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6265126417&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:UK:31
We'll be adding more auctions in the weeks to come, all in eBay's "breweriana" categories, and we'll keep you updated on the amount we've raised. Remember - bid early, bid often. Jolly exciting isn't it?

LONELY HEART HUNTS ELIGIBLE BIDDER.
A lovesick singleton from Kent has launched a unique new bid to land Mr Right by putting herself up for sale in a fundraising online auction.
In a posting on internet charity auction site 15minutesauction Hayley Williams, from Sevenoaks, has pledged to give her heart away to the most eligible bidder.
The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Great Ormond Street Children's Charity.
The 36-year-old singleton said her ideal man would be an independent and caring bachelor who likes the outdoors and is prepared to get involved in charity work.
Ms Williams said: "I'm looking for a man who is single and around my age. Preferably he either has children or would like them. I also like animals and don't smoke - although it doesn't really bother me that much. I can be very spontaneous so he has, ideally, got to be the sort of man who can pick up and go with an idea.
She added: "Looks are important but not the most important quality. I'm not very tall so it would be great if he was over five feet seven inches."
The unusual auction has already attracted bids from across the UK.
A spokesman for 15minutesauction.com said: "This is quite an unusual item to place up for auction. But as it's going to a good cause and Hayley is an adult we wish her the best of luck in finding a partner."
The posting is sponsored by celebrity chef Gary Rhodes's restaurant, Rhodes W1, in the Cumberland Hotel, London.

UP TO SPEED: LEFTROVERS FOR SALE.
THIS would make an interesting day out if you're not doing anything tomorrow.
The administrator in charge of disposing of MG Rover assets is holding an auction to sell off old stock from MG Sport & Racing Ltd - the high performance arm of the defunct car company.
All sorts of tantalising stuff is going under the hammer. One item that would look good in the garage is the MG ZT estate that managed to do 227mph at the Bonneville salt flats in America.
It's got a huge V8 under its bonnet that must sound fantastic. It's an utterly useless car, but so what? It looks the business. There's also one of the few expensive MG SV supercars the firm got round to building.
But there's lots of smaller stuff for sale - boxes of MG Sport T-shirts, baseball caps and other promotional goodies.
For the techies there are dozens of engine bits and boxes of brake pads and discs. There are also lots of tools for sale, which would raise the pulses of men in sheds all over the country.
The auction is being run by Wyles-Hardy at Groveley Lane, Birmingham B31 4PT and will start at 9.30am.

Now Your Dinner Is Up For Auction.
FOR THE FULL AND UP TO DATE LIST OF UK AUCTIONS VISIT THE FREE NEWSLETTER AT: http://www.uk-government-auctions.co.uk/template.html
Restaurants are embracing the eBay revolution by offering customers the chance to bid online for meals from only 1p.
The novel idea has been cooked up by Sukhvir Dhillon, 30, a Glasgow entrepreneur, with the backing of Alan Tomkins, the former chairman of the Glasgow Restaurateurs' Association.
In what is believed to be the first website of its kind in the world, www.priceyourmeal.com has recruited an eclectic mix of more than 50 of Glasgow's top restaurants – including Rococo, Red Onion, Paperino's and
Kama Sutra – to allow customers to bid online to buy meals at the lowest possible price.
The website goes live today and if it is successful Mr Dhillon, who worked with his uncle Charan Gill in his Harlequin chain for five years as director of operations, intends to roll it out across the UK.
Mr Dhillon, who was born and bred in the city's west end and lives there with his wife and child, said: "I got the idea of bidding for meals from eBay where I've bought and sold lots of items over the years.
"Priceyourmeal.com is based on the same principle but simply applies it to matching diners with restaurants.
"I've spent the past year writing most of the software, testing it, then going round restaurants persuading them to let customers bid for meals."
Mr Tomkins said:"I subscribed for a small share in Sukhvir's business because I could see its potential not only here in Glasgow, but right across the world."

Rugby League Fans Set To Raise Money for Sharon Beshenivsky Fund.
FOR THE FULL AND UP TO DATE LIST OF UK AUCTIONS VISIT THE FREE NEWSLETTER AT: http://www.uk-government-auctions.co.uk/template.html
Rugby league fans are getting the chance to bid for 2 signed rugby league shirts to raise money for Sharon Beshenivsky’s memorial fund.
The shirts have been donated by the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and Hull FC and have been signed by the players from each team.
They are now being advertised on the clubs’ websites and whoever sends in the highest bid wins the shirt.
PC Dave Dosdale who organised the auction said: “I was aware that a number of officers from the Wakefield District are running in Hull on 19th March to raise money for Sharon’s memorial fund and I wanted to do something to assist with fundraising.
“As I have contacts with Hull, I approached them to see if they could donate a signed shirt to the auction fund and they gladly obliged.
“Since then we have obtained a signed shirt from the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats to add to the auction.
“I am delighted with the support from the clubs and we are hoping to raise as much money as we can from the auction.
“If anyone wants to make a bid, they will need to send the amount they are bidding for the shirt to my email address david@daviddosdale.wanadoo.co.uk by 26th March at 8pm.”
Superintendent Ian Whitehouse said: “The auction is an excellent idea to raise money for Sharon’s memorial fund. Officers are also raising money by running 20 miles around Hull on the same day. We hope that everyone will give generously so we can raise as much as we can.”

Shed’s Heaven For The Discerning Palace Fan.
FOR THE FULL AND UP TO DATE LIST OF UK AUCTIONS VISIT THE FREE NEWSLETTER AT: http://www.uk-government-auctions.co.uk/template.html
A unique item of Crystal Palace Football Club memorabilia has kicked-off a shed load of bids on internet auction site ebay.
The On Me Shed Son' game has become a half-time hit with Eagles supporters. A roofless shed is placed in the centre circle of the Selhurst Park pitch and a lucky member of the crowd at every home game is given the chance to kick two out of three balls into the shed to win a new kitchen worth £2,500.
But last week the shed was put up for sale on ebay to raise money for former Eagles captain Geoff Thomas's leukaemia charity.
At the time of the Croydon Guardian going to press the highest bid for the shed stood at £245 but this is sure to increase before the auction ends on Saturday afternoon.
As well as the shed, the highest bidder will also win a signed Crystal Palace shirt, a signed ball and a signed Crystal Palace centenary book.
Gordon Law, editor of Crystal Palace fans website Holmesdale Online, said he was not surprised by the level of interest in the shed.
He added: "I think someone who is a die-hard fan would be interested in buying the shed, but it is definitely going to go to someone with more money than sense.
"It has not even got a roof, so I haven't got a clue what the buyer would do with it. Some fans will buy anything Palace-related, so it doesn't surprise me."
When asked if he had bid for the shed, Gordon replied: "No chance, I've got more sense than money. But because it's for a good cause I'm sure some people will splash out even if they can't use it as a proper shed."
To bid for the shed visit www.ebay.co.uk and type Crystal Palace shed' in the search box.

MR Charity Auction Goes Online.
Forget e-bay (just for a while?) - this year’s auction for the UK research workers’ charity, the MRBA, is being held online. Lots range from a new Apple iPod nano and a 'framed painting of a nude torso' to a week in a holiday home in Port Charles Coromandel, New Zealand. Bidding stays open until 2pm on Friday 24th March.
The Market Research Benevolent Association exists to help those in need who work or have worked in market research in any capacity, whether as researchers, interviewers, or office staff, as employees or independents, and whether members of the UK’s Market Research Society or not.
The auction is sponsored by Pulse Train and can be accessed via the MRBA site at http://www.mrba.org.uk/ (follow the link to the on-line Auction) or directly via the rather less memorable address http://70.86.232.98/~mrba/
Once you have given all your details, wait for the confirmation e-mail and follow the instructions to ensure that your registration is completed - then you can start bidding. If, for some reason, you do not get a confirmation e-mail (perhaps your anti-spam system has eaten it?) just email mrba@patmolloy.net from the e-mail address you are trying to register and the team will attempt to manually enable your registration.
Text or telephone 07710 493280 in the hour and a half after the close to check your bids and/or make further bids. Please note that merely sending a text (sms) message does not guarantee your bid has been received - it must be acknowledged. People attending the Research 2006 conference will be able to bid personally up until 3.30pm when the Auction will close and the lucky winners will be notified.
If you like what you see and wish you had donated something, it’s not too late – contact the organisers and help make more money for the MRBA.
The MRBA wishes to thank all those who have donated and given such an interesting variety of lots.

Rare Pistol Given To Napoleon Up For Auction.
A historic pistol given to Napoleon Bonaparte by a flamboyant English army officer in 1802 is expected to fetch £25,000-30,000 when it is sold at auction next month.The gold-inlaid, 120-bore, three-barrelled flintlock pocket pistol is one of a pair and thought to be the only weapon ever given to Napoleon by an Englishman.It was presented to the French general and 'First Consul' by Lt Col Thomas Thornton when he visited France during a lull in hostilities in the Napoleonic Wars.David Williams, head of arms and armour at Bonhams auction house, said: "It's absolutely fascinating. The pistol itself is beautiful with all the gold inlay. They were usually rather more restrained at the time."It's interesting in its own right, because of the decoration, because of it's three barrels, which is very unusual, and it's in very good condition, but also because it has this interesting history."Any connection with Napoleon and people are very interested. It's extrememly rare."Thornton was famous as one of the most dedicated sportsmen of the 18th and 19th centuries, dividing his time between hunting, racing, shooting, angling and hawking. In his words he had "a greater quantity of sporting apparatus of the most valuable and curious manufacture than any other sporting gentleman in England."He was also well known for his many mistresses. One of these was Alicia Meynell or Massingham, the 'Norwich Nymph' who was famous in her own right for her horse race against Captain Flint at York racecourse in 1804, and again on the following year when she beat Edward Buckle, the top jockey of his day. Thornton bet 1,000 guineas on the first race, which he lost but reneged on the bet, leading to an inconclusive court case. He then put 2,000 guineas on the second race, which Alicia won, after which Thornton was publicly horsewhipped by the disgruntled winner of the first race.Thornton visited France with his mistress before the Revolution and again in 1802, when he made a sporting trip through the country. The journey was possible because of the brief peace created by the Treaty of Amiens, which followed Napoleon's victory over the Austrians at Marengo in 1800.Thornton presented the ornate pistols, made by Durs Egg of London, and featuring engravings of Thornton's family coat of arms on one side and a scroll with the battle honour 'Marengo' on the other, to Napoleon's aide-de-camp General Duroc. Soon afterwards he met Napoleon himself.It is thought the gift of the pistols was an attempt by Thornton to win support as he fought to rebuild his reputation after he was court martialled over an incident when his soldiers pulled him round Roborough army camp in a gun carriage. He wrote his side of the story in a pamphlet called 'An Elucidation of a Mutinous Conspiracy entered into by the officers of the West York Regiment of Militia against their Commanding Officer in year 1794'Mr Williams said: "Thornton himself was a very interesting guy. He was quite an eccentric."He was fairly enamoured by Napoleon and ended up living in France after the war. He was a francophile. He even styled himself Prince of Chambord and Marquess de Pont."The other pistol was sold in 1986 and its current whereabouts are unknown. This one is being sold by a private collector.Mr Williams said: "It really is a fascinating thing and it's a direct link with history."We don't know where other one is. It would be quite interesting if the sale of this one throws the other one up."

Officers Back Auction Room Move Bid.
PLANS by Gorringes to move its long-established auction rooms from North Street and Garden Street, Lewes, to land and farm buildings at Overs Farm, Barcombe, are being recommended for permission.
Lewes District Council's planning committee, meeting on Wednesday, will be told by officers that, should it get the go-ahead, the well known auction house intends to offer a minibus service to and from Cooksbridge Railway Station to encourage sustainable modes of transport.
The auction house attracts antique collectors from all over East Sussex and beyond, but it has outgrown its premises in Lewes where it has been operating for more than 60 years.
Thirty-one jobs will be lost to Lewes if the company moves.
The auctioneers plan to convert one-and-a-half acres of land and farm buildings to a regional auction gallery, complete with parking and restaurant.
The council's planning committee will be told that Barcombe Parish Council had made no objection in principle but was concerned about parking provision.
Seven letters had been received about increases in traffic, congestion of local roads and unsightly parking.
But the applicant's agent said the main three-day auctions occurred only eight times a year. Weekly auctions also occurred which attracted between 30 and 50 people.
An officer's report states: 'The site is in the countryside and some distance from the nearest services.
'However, the proposal would result in the re-use of redundant farm buildings which are ideally suited to provide a large display area for the auction gallery.
'It is considered that, with the minibus service, the proposed use will not generate unacceptable volumes of traffic.'

Borg To Auction Off Wimbledon Trophies.
Bjorn Borg, the Swedish legend who wowed Wimbledon with his charm and powerful tennis is to sell off his five trophies for "financial security." The former world no 1, who retired at 26 is known to have amassed close to £40 million during his career, but was forced to declare bankruptcy after he went through two divorces.
The Wimbledon trophies, which were won in consecutive years from 1976 to 1980, are expected to fetch £200,000 to £300,000. "Obviously it is not easy to part with the trophies that symbolize all the tremendous effort, both physically and emotionally, that it took to win Wimbledon on five occasions," Borg said in a statement.
"However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me and now believe that the time is right for the trophies and racquets to pass to either a tennis collector or a suitable institution where they can be appreciated by a wider number of people."
The 49-year-old Borg, known as The Iceman, also won the French Open six times in a career that glittered in the 70s. This is apparently the first time that a Wimbledon champion has put up his trophies for auction, a statement that perhaps underlines Borg's financial situation.
“Even though the symbols of my victories are being sold, what I will always retain is the knowledge that for such a long period I was the supreme world tennis champion," Borg's statement added. All items will go under the hammer at Bonhams, London, in June.

Hospice Cashes In On E-Auctions.

A HOSPICE that serves the Potters Bar area has taken its fundraising drive online.
Staff were inspired to turn to auction site eBay after being donated a signed first edition of the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
The book had been given to the hospice by one of the author's relatives, a hospice supporter from the Watford area, who has asked to remain anonymous.
Author JK Rowling signed the book for the winner, and watched the bids clock up on the website.
The book was sold to an overseas bidder who paid £4,500 just before Christmas.
And since then staff have been using the auction website to sell items donated to them and have managed to raise £8,000.
Steve Rose, director of shops for the hospice, said: "Through eBay we are able to sell literally everything - from a small ornament to a bath!
"eBay gives us the opportunity to sell anything to anyone anywhere in the world and make a significant extra contribution towards funding The Peace Hospice.
"It is really easy for people to look at. They can either go through our website by visiting our shops page on the website http://www.peacehospice.org.uk/ and there is a link which will take you directly to our pages. Or go via the eBay website."
Much of the profit from each sale goes directly to the hospice, less a very small charge from eBay which should shortly be reduced to virtually nothing for charities.
To make a donation to be sold on eBay contact Steve Rose on 01923 330340 or donations can be accepted at one of their six hospice charity shops, whose addresses can be found on their website.
- The Peace Hospice is currently looking for suitable premises to open a charity shop in Potters Bar.
If you know of somewhere that might be suitable please let hospice staff know.

New UK Auction Goes Up Against might Of eBay.
A UK centric auction site has opted to go up against the might of eBay offering auctioneers the chance to bid for lots on their mobile phone.
Huntforit.co.uk’s mobile texting service allows anyone on any network to bid for any item via text and earn 5 pence each time a text bid is sent and they can list all items for free.
Users will also be able to receive mobile alerts when items of interest are posted on the site for sale. Buyers can register to receive a text if a Britney Spears video or Artic Monkey concert tickets are posted for sale.
The site has been created by father and son team, Rikki and Martin Hunt. Martin Hunt, 16-years-old, pitched the idea of creating an eBay rival site to his serial entrepreneur father and current Chairman of Swindon FM.
Rikki Hunt, Chairman and CEO, Hunt For It: “Hunt For IT offers much better deals than any other online auction site whether you are buying or selling. Our site takes less commission than competing sites which means better deals for everyone”.
Those people registering on the site for the first 2 weeks automatically enter a competition to win some fantastic prizes including a guitar signed by Brit band Oasis as well as hundreds of iPods and Sony PSP’s.
Hunt For IT goes live on 1 March 2006 with an estimated 15,000 items across thousands of categories from day one.

According To Governmentauctionsuk.com eBay Could Be Force To Vet Every Sale.
Tiffany the jewellers are suing eBay in a case that challenges the very formula that has made the online giant such a success.
If Tiffany win, it could mean eBay having to vet everything sold on their site, a measure that would threaten their very existence.
The case, Tiffany (NJ) Inc versus eBay Inc, should be heard later this year. The jewellers have brought the action after years of working with eBay to prevent the widespread sale of faked Tiffany jewellery on the website.
Despite eBay agreeing to remove the fakes when spotted, tens of thousands are thought to have slipped through the net in a matter of months.
eBay’s success has been built on the premise that they provide a platform for sales but take no part in them – and thereby have no legal responsibility if things go wrong. This has allowed them to built a vast marketplace, racking up enormous revenues earned on transaction charges.
Earlier attempts to challenge eBay’s protected status have failed, but Tiffany argue that eBay have a responsibility to prevent fraud, and yet are aiding and abetting it, first by allowing fake Tiffany to be advertised prominently on their site in a bid to attract buyers and, secondly, by knowingly profiting from commissions charged on the sale of faked items.
