SANDBACH, CHESHIRE, UK / July 22 2008. iAuctionShop Ltd has formed a sponsorship relationship with the Cheshire branch of Shine Africa in The Gambia and will be promoting their work with children and schools in The Gambia.
Shine – Africa is a U.K. registered charity that helps support Nursery Education covering the age range of three to seven year olds in The Gambia, West Africa. As a charity it works closely with families, communities and the Gambian Education Department to assist Gambian Nursery Children.

Ian and Glynn Jones from Weaverham, Cheshire visited a nursery school in Mandirani when they were on holiday in 1996 and found that it was in desperate need of a new building and educational resources. The generosity of the Gambian people despite their poverty inspired them to raise funds on their return to England for them to build a school. The need for educational resources became more obvious and the gratitude of the people who see education as a gift rather than a right encouraged them to continue with the project. Funds continued through many people’s commitment and involvement and when the school was established with furniture and equipment Ian and Glynn realised they were able to assist other schools in the Gambia, as they too had a great need for the ‘gift of education’.
WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED SO FAR?
· They have built and funded three nursery schools:
· Mandinari Village Nursery School
· Bundung Serrekunda Shine-Africa School
· Saaba Shine –Africa Nursery School
· They have upgraded 2 other nursery schools
· Provided a village library at Mandinari
· Upgraded the village clinic and provided equipment including baby scales, blood pressure monitors, stethoscopes, instruments for examining ears, eyes and throat, diabetic testing machine, crutches and medicine etc.
· Have helped the local economy by providing locally made tables and chairs for the 3 nursery schools.
· Provided school equipment for many nursery schools- exercise books, pens, pencils, crayons, reading books, counting equipment, footballs, various sized balls, children’s blackboards, chalk, teachers equipment, paper, visual aids for the children with number and alphabet cards, providing educational posters besides helping with much needed reading books.
· Given out more than 3,500 mosquito nets.
· Provided a clean, safe well for Mandinari
iAuctionShop Ltd’s aim is to help raise more funds that will directly affect the lives of Gambian children. A £3.50 gift of a mosquito net will save lives, and a £22 annual sponsorship of a child will provide two school uniforms, annual school fees and a mosquito net.

SANDBACH, CHESHIRE, UK / June 1 2008. iAuctionShop Ltd has been engaged by one of its clients to market a historically important Newman and Sinclair 35mm cine camera. It comes in working order and complete with three lenses, filters, original tripod and fitted case plus four additional magazines again in a fitted case.
Each main part is matched by serial number, (766). This was bought by an Edinburgh photographic dealer from the now-defunct Ferranti plc where it was employed in their film department.
Items included in kit:
· Camera assembly serial number 766 twin clockwork motors and fitted magazine
· 2 inch lens serial number 766
· 4 inch lens serial number 766
· 6 inch lens serial number 766
· Four filters (Kodak)
· Original fitted case marked number 766

· Additional four magazines in original fitted leather case
Newman & Sinclair cameras were the choice of professional filmmakers all over the world. One accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary on his ascent of Everest and Stanley Kubrick famously used four during the filming of A Clockwork Orange. Their unusual twin clockwork motors allowed a full 200 feet magazine to be filmed from a single wind.

July 12th, 2007

SANDBACH, CHESHIRE, UK / July 12 2007. iAuctionShop has today removed its last listing from eBay. From a high of 6,500 product lines in 2005 and in common with many professional dealers, iAuctionShop is turning its back on eBay as a sales outlet.

Having been fully engaged members of the eBay community since 2002 and at one time running its full-time business almost entirely on eBay, iAuctionShop has finally removed its last listing from that site. iAuctionShop Ltd’s Managing Director Simon Russell stated “…it was a very straightforward decision to make in the end. Buyer apathy, ridiculous pricing expectations, fraud and ever increasing fees and tinkering from eBay’s strange management team combined to make the profitability of the eBay marketplace woefully poor. It was actually quite a sad day for us. My wife started the business part-time in 2004 and we enthusiastically embraced every innovation, idea or piece of advice that came out of eBay, opening a store, eventually upgrading it to Anchor level and investing thousands of man hours into making it into a great place for eBay buyers to browse. When eBay’s much reported removal of Stores in Search combined with the huge increase in Stores fees finally hit, the management team resolved that iAuctionShop’s relationship with eBay had to come to an end.

The margins being achieved by iAuctionShop on eBay had been steadily eroding from a high in 2004/2005 to the unacceptable levels being seen during 2007. Fewer visitors coupled with the attitude ‘I’ll only buy it if it’s really cheap’ and the ever-present threat of PayPal chargebacks by fraudulent buyers caused iAuctionShop’s management team to concentrate on its own websites and other on-line marketplaces where the company’s commitment to Customer Delight would be better appreciated. iAuctionShop Director Rebecca Russell read a well-researched article by David Steiner of www.auctionbytes.com titled ‘Data points to Problems on eBay.com’. Rebecca commented “The article’s content absolutely mirrored our own experience in the eBay marketplace over the past couple of years. We were receiving scores of emails and telephone calls every day telling us that our prices were too high as ‘one sold on eBay last month for a couple of pounds’, and ridiculous offer after offer at perhaps 10% of the listed price. eBay really had become the new car boot sale where everything has to go for pennies and customer service is not valued”.

At its peak on eBay, *iAuctionShop was the largest pottery and porcelain outlet in the UK as evidenced by eBay Pulse, listing some 6,500 product lines. These lines are now listed on www.rscollect.co.uk, www.iauctionshop.co.uk, www.specialistauctions.com and as an Amazon Merchants@ partner iAuctionShop on Amazon.

iAuctionShop Director Simon Russell intends writing a more detailed account of the ups and downs of his company’s experience of utilising eBay as a sales outlet and the methods that eBay has adopted to keep its sellers too busy to look outside the eBay marketplace. Please contact the author to reserve an advanced copy of this account.

SANDBACH, CHESHIRE, UK / Dec 8 2006. iAuctionShop, having located a large number of impression and printing stamps and bought them to keep them from the forgery market is to donate them to the Wedgwood Museum, Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire

iAuctionShop Ltd (trading as Rebecca & Simon’s Antiques and Collectables) of Cheshire, UK is to donate its collection of factory backstamps to the Wedgwood Museum. A senior executive from Wedgwood contacted iAuctionShop Director Simon Russell after hearing an interview given by him on BBC radio.

Agreement was made between the Wedgwood executive, Gaye Blake Roberts, Director of the Wedgwood Museum Trust and Simon Russell that a presentation ceremony will be conducted at the Museum before Christmas this year. The press and BBC radio will be present.

The backstamps will form part of a specific display in the Museum when it reopens after a £7.5 million refurbishment.

During World War II, pottery and porcelain manufacturers were banned from producing decorative items for the domestic market.

The original press release detailing the initial purchase of the backstamps can be found here. For further information on the backstamps themselves, click here.

iAuctionShop acts to protect pottery market from possibility of fakes

SANDBACH, CHESHIRE, UK / Nov 15 2006. iAuctionShop locates over eighty impression and printing stamps from major and minor Staffordshire pottery factories and buys them to remove them from the marketplace.

iAuctionShop Ltd (trading as Rebecca & Simon’s Antiques and Collectables) of Cheshire, UK acted swiftly when they heard about the availability of a cache of ex Staffordshire pottery factory backstamps. About 80 stamps are in the cache from manufacturers such as Aynsley, Coalport, Royal Doulton, Susie Cooper, Wade, Wedgwood, the Wedgwood Collectors Club toefther with a large number of smaller factory marks.

Concerned with the ever increasing number of fakes and forgeries appearing on major on-line auction sites as well as at traditional auction, iAuctionShop immediately offered to buy them at an inflated price aiming to protect the marketplace.

As large suppliers of pottery and porcelain figures, iAuctionShop along with other dealers has become concerned at the rise in fake Beswick, Doulton and Worcester figures in particular finding their way from the Far East to western markets. The effect has been to dent buyer confidence and to drive prices for genuine pieces down. The stamps are being stored in a secure location but are available for inspection by appointment. iAuctionShop Ltd trades as R & S Collectables listing about 5,000 product lines across several internet sales venues;

THE ONE-STOP AUCTION SHOP
WHAT STARTED OUT AS A PART-TIME HOBBY FOR REBECCA AND SIMON RUSSELL IS NOW A SUCCESSFUL INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

From rag dolls to robots, paperweights to porcelain, iAuctionShop offers replacement tableware, antiques, traditional clockwork and tin plate toys, glassware, paintings, pictures, postcards, ephemera, books and much more. The website has a stock of about a quarter of a million replacement tableware items, with new items arriving daily from the many auctions iAuctionShop staff visit each month.

Rebecca and Simon Russell formed iAuctionShop Ltd after their part-time hobby –R & S Collectables began to occupy all of their spare time. Simon left his job as a director at a computer manufacturer towards the end of last year to jointly head up the team that includes Rebecca, Janet Milner, Chloe Nuttall and Chairman Stuart Russell. Having begun operations from a converted garage at Rebecca and Simon’s home, iAuctionShop now operates out of a 200 year old mill in the historic Saxon market town of Sandbach, in rural Cheshire – close to the Staffordshire Potteries, whose auction houses provide much of iAuctionShop’s stock.

PERFECT PLATES

As well as offering a wide range of antique and collectable dolls and teddies from its own stock, iAuctionShop has a commercial client whose items also appear on the site. iAuctionShop has a number of clients for whom it sells, and many have become personal friends. The company is interested to hear from businesses or collectors with excess stock of high value items who might wish to use this selling service. Please note, however, that iAuctionShop rarely buys from individuals and is unable to offer free valuations or other advice. The company has a stock of several hundred collector plates and more than 200 figurines. If you are hunting for a plate or figure to complete your collection log onto www.iauctionshop.co.uk or send an email to collectorplates@iauctionshop.co.uk.

Since iAuctionShop visits auctions regularly, it will only be a matter of time before your plate is located. You might even spot Rebecca on Flog it! or Bargain Hunt as she is bidding on it.

iAuctionShop is fortunate to have retained the services of Pete Hancock, an ex Royal Doulton artist and model maker whose restoration work is of the highest quality. We will happily quote for the repair of a cherished item. For an estimate, please send good quality photographs to repair@iauctionshop.co.uk.
