<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 9788440, member: 4654&quot;]I think ebay might have just paid the money to save 2 long term customers. What really gets me is why someone with over 800 100% feedback would risk me giving them thumping bad feedback? There was no damage to the box it came in, I defiantly didn&#039;t do the damage, they must have seen the damage if not done it themselves trying to open a locked box. They didn&#039;t know what it was, it was listed in boxes and tins (not in antique boxes) as &quot;Antique 19th C Brass Inlaid Marquetry Stationary Box caddy&quot; locked with no key. The start price was £80, fortunately for them it was spotted by more than one person who knew how rare English Boulle is. Lets hope in 8 days I re-post on this thread saying it&#039;s mine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. The pity is I will have slide a multitool between the lid and the body where the keep of the lock is and cut through the keep, I was going to try picking the lock but with a bramah lock you need to push a heavy spring in before being able to move the sliders, the box front just won&#039;t take that force and I&#039;m afraid the wood will just break off behind the overlay. I do have a bag of antique brass keeps so I might just have a replacement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
