 Oops! NO MEDAL FOR PART-TIME ASSISTANT
A dealer, who has not been named, returned from his lunch break last week to discover his set of rare military medals had been sold. He went straight to look at his sales book at the Treasure Chest Antiques Centre in Norwich where he trades from to check the price and was aghast to see that the group had been sold for £18.50 and not £1850, the true price. The distraught part-time sales assistant revealed that she had misread the ticket and put the decimal point in the wrong place. The dealer, who has not been named, was selling his antiques through the shop, which is run by Pasquale Musso who explained "I am feeling terrible at the moment. The dealer's wife is six months pregnant and so they need the money. The assistant didn't realise the value, and it is my responsibility. The medals date back to the 1890s and are very rare; there are a couple of Zulu medals with a bit of history to them and they are all very collectable." Mr Musso is now appealing for the couple who bought the medals to return them and is offering a reward of £250 for their safe return.

Re: Oops! I wish him luck in recovering them. The person who bought them must be smiling all the way to the bank.

Re: Oops! Whoops! Oh"! Dear! but, I have done that as well, in a similar way, though not on such a large scale, nowhere near as much money loss involved.
