I won a couple of items in the early Ergatoudis auctions, but the prices have climbed steadily with each phase and are now out of my range. (One of his sons also works at the BBC in London, albeit it in a different building. I must look him up one of these days.) Nice to get a rough idea of the "value" of some of my boxes though. They would have turned out to be a good investment, except ... I can't bear to sell them at the moment.
All the best - David
Just joined up here. Interesting picture. I have a few puzzle boxes by Kagen Schaefer, Akio Kamei and Ninomiya. Nothing by Trevor Wood though I'm afraid. New to Staves. Very different types of puzzle, but the same great quality and craftsmanship I guess.
I see you're working Knight At Stavely Castle. Ijust solved mine which had been on ice for 12 years.
Best of luck with it.
Cheers,
Noel
Intersting to see your favorite choice of Berry Nice Place. We haven't shown that for awhile, maybe it's time to pull it out again. Oh - did I mention I work for Stave. :-) I've probably talked to you before.
T.I. is in the works! We'll keep you updated - it's well worth the wait!
