How much to have Inverbervie fish and chips packed and couriered to my door?

I'll run a quote through Pack and Send. My estimate would be £263.78 if you want insurance and salt and vinegar

In Scotland it’s Salt and Sauce on the East coast , Salt and Vinegar on the West Coast...I’m not certain about the NE of Scotland but be sure to budget for a deep fried Mars Bar in those shipping costs! 

No, salt and sauce is just a southern thing that they only do around Edinburgh.

In that case, it would have to be Arbroath smokies for me.  

They do a battered smokie at the Bell Rock apparently

I guess if there's enough interest from tFB members we could club together and nominate someone to go along and bid on all of our behalves. Having said that the only one that floats my boat is the Eko.

I had to look that up.  Sounds horrible.  And until now I really liked Edinburgh.

Other forums tale a dim view of spammers like this, likely wouldn’t get a second attempt. 

I am not a spammer I posted this because I was interested and thought others may be!
I have no interest in the outcome except that I want one of the low end acoustics.
I have built instruments for over 35 years and tried to play for 60 but when you are old and wrinkly it is sometimes good to talk even via forums!

You joined the forum yesterday and this is your first thread. Looks suspicious to me

Or, somebody just trying to put people who like guitars in touch with somebody who has some guitars to sell. Doesn't seem that under hand to me

Why not just post the facebook link in the OP, instead of all these mysterious fluffy hints and promises that we will be "gobsmacked" at something amazingly rare and exotic. Hilights include Stagg, Encore, Vintage...

He was amazed to enter a small flat and find that the deceased had amassed a collection of nearly 50 guitars most in very good condition

For an uncomfortable moment, reading that, I thought I had died.

Nope, otherwise I'm sure you'd be hearing stairway to heaven and knockin on heavens door!

Just looks like far eastern tat to me. The Ric looks out of place amongst the rest so I'd be suspicious that that's genuine.

I can't see anything wrong with the Rick' - and I spend half my life looking at them

If he hadn't spent all that money on cheap tat, he might have been able to afford and play a decent guitar before he died.

Uh-oh! Looks as if somebody has prematurely published the obituary for HarrySeven.

Wasn't sure whether to award a LOL or a Wiz, but I went with a Wiz. Genius.

I just got a quote from Pack & Send, out of idle curiosity really to see how much the packing and sending would be on top of what could be a low bid for something. For a 10kg guitar sized parcel....£194.62!!!!!
........
I would have thought if someone was really keen on a hard cased guitar then Overland Express with their special insurance and a chat with a local  and perhaps an offer to cross their palm would solve the dilemma.
