"Approximately" 40 used dartboards. Could they not get someone to count them beforehand? Maybe an inside joke for how shit the BDO was run.Safc wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 3:49 pmThe Ginge Reaper wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 3:20 pm 40 used Gladiator dartboards go for £430, plus VAT, plus fees.

They are probably moldy aswell
I'm seeing the Inventory list for the first time right now and I'm flabbergasted. What have I just missed? Not even BDO pens amongst that lot of pony.The Ginge Reaper wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 3:51 pm Well thats is, bar the final lot which has just gone to £230.
Assuming that stays the same, these are the final prices
£58,150 in total, with 4 lots unsold. 13 lots were sold after a single bid.
Loads of keyrings and magnets though. The BDO eggcup, alas, was fake news. I custom built it for Emu.Suspect Device wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 9:57 am I'm seeing the Inventory list for the first time right now and I'm flabbergasted. What have I just missed? Not even BDO pens amongst that lot of pony.
Surely they were scrapped years ago when they stopped using them, unless they were beyond stupid and kept all old equipment rotting in the warehouse.Suspect Device wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:11 am Many original items weren't included in the auction. Eric and John were given WC trophies to keep. Who funded all the replica trophies?
The original huge segmented dartboard operated by a human hand that lit up for the crowd to see where the dart landed currently resides north west. This is an iconic piece of memorabilia that remains in darts.
Haha I remember the shop. We were last there the night Crocodile Dundee found a way to grab defeat from the jaws of victory against Duzza. My daughter purchased several tat items including a couple of bdo darts shirts. Hello ebay!Rogg wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:06 amLoads of keyrings and magnets though.

Looks like something Del would have made Rodney model down the market.
The bdo fanatics sign too. They were a pathetic bunch. I walked past their table with their overloaded crap signs making out they were the true darts fan. They really thought it was all about them
Fantastic. I get very giddy when someone confirms that the BDO was real.Suspect Device wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:17 am Haha I remember the shop.

Look at the state of those ladies. Couldn't be bothered to do up their ties. Mr Potter would not be happy.Rogg wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:06 amLoads of keyrings and magnets though.

One of the best pics ever. The beeb gave us so many golden moments that no other darts org could ever compete with.Rogg wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 10:25 amFantastic.

Do you recognise this pair of quality street legends? I'd have bid a grand for that tub:

So much going on in that picture: her garb, Wayne hiding his face, the rows of empty chairs....
We were robbed. I think it must be this:
