    Auction - Haynes Manuals

    Following on from Jimbo's great idea to auction off his Andy McNab prize. I've decided to auction off a few books I've recieved courtesy of A_G, and his tremendous work through the book review section, for the Mongke's_Fist trip across Europe and Asia.



    HMS VICTORY - £21.99
    SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE - £19.99
    MILLENIUM FALCON - £14.99

    Brand new this set will cost you £56.97, which is cheaper than a very worn copy of The Red Sailor. Whilst the proceeds of this auction isn't going to pay for the fuel to Guz, every inch makes up a mile.

    The auction will run until next Sunday the 19th, start of the afternoon watch. Good luck!

    A sound gesture; someone has to open so I'll kick off at £60.00.

    Wow Bob!

    If I'm being honest I thought this would only make 20 or 30 quid max.

    I and the Mongke's_Fist team salute you sir.

    While you shouldn't need to read the reviews for these great books as they are to an extent self-explanatory, I have added the links to the reviews so you can see the depth that Haynes have gone to to bring these manuals out in a humorous yet interesting and informative way.

    If someone wishes to bung an extra couple of quid in then I am happy to add to this list with
