You might give folk a little longer than twelve hours, Jon!  Unless you're selling a green 406...?

Yur.

 

People are on here all hours of the day. 12 hours is normally enough time to get a comment, an offer.......something.I'll have a look for forest green 406s for you. Can't guarantee it'll be insured or that the door shuts will be perfect, mind.

Sadly, I think models are absolutely impossible to sell - unless you've got lots of nice new shiny ones and a shit load of patience. I guess mine will be staying in the loft for many years to come.

Agree... I have several lovely examples but seemingly worth very little nowadays going off eBay prices.

Shame really. Back in the loft then.

That's LJK Setright's dad, that is, as any fule kno. 

[John F]

Be a good chap & pop it in the "Non-motoring" section, Jon, won't you?

 

Much obliged.

[Tamworthbay]

I would love the ticket machine, but sadly I think the price is a bit off what they make. Unless it's an unusual one in some way.

I have missed a couple at £40-50 but most seen around the figures you mention. The one on here looks to have been polished with wire wool or similar but I could be wrong. I only want one for nostalgic reasons, I remember them being used on bartons buses when I was a kid.

[Inspector Morose]

it's the case that's worth the money. B.M.M.O never sold on their machines or cases to the public (even when Midland Red West, the last of the ex BMMO companies to use them, finished with them) Cases only appear if they were secreted away when engineers or drivers nicked them to use as tool boxes. Ones from that source usually are battered to buggery. This one isn't so is a pretty rare thing. The machine itself could be from anywhere. I've looked at it and tried to cross reference the serial numbers to no avail. The problem is that the Mk.3 Setright was used by just about everybody, from independent to large operator. It's a pre decimal one so 50's or 60's but more than that, I just don't know. It's fully working and runs nicely with lots of life left in the ribbon (I used to rebuild these for operators) so definitely worth considering if you're on the look out for one. The rivets on the case are when the ticket punch has been removed and is a usual mod by operators.

 

The models? I have no clue to their worth as I don't collect them but I'd have thought a Birotor model is pretty hens teeth.

 

Motoring related so definitely in the right section in my worthless opinion. Others may disagree. Bite me, I don't care.

Yeah, but this forum isn't anymore what it never was to begin with, or sum such.

[Jim Bell]

The machine shows a fare of 03?  Are you sure its SETRIGHT?

 

I think it looks amazing and is worth £200.

No. These are motoring related items. Bait rejected. 

 

 

[dugong]

Think I might split the machine and the box up as the advice goes.

It wasn't bait, I genuinely thought it would be better in the non-motoring section or in sales / wants.

 

BTW the ticket machine is genuinely ace, and easily worth what you're asking - good luck with the sale.

[chaseracer]

Stop chuntering, Burgess, and stick up some photos of the GZ, stat!

Nope, but it's a nice thing.

Otto GS linky here -

The Otto stuff is in general very, very good and the GS Birotor sold out very quickly. Couple of years since it was released and is a very rare thing now.

 

I'd bang it on French eBay rather than UK as thats where most of the buyers will be.  No idea on values of the Solidos - I hate guessing values of older stuff but they don't sound unreasonable to me. Ebay is probably your best bet though (immediate payment req'd and sent 'Signed For') as they'll get a lot more viewers than here.
