Thanks for the replies. A waiting game then, as you say it's what someone is willing to pay.

I tried listing a couple of average dot coms on Afternic.com (a GoDaddy company apparently). The price was fairly cheap, 200 dollars, but zero interest after a couple of weeks. Is this just reflective of the large numbers for sale or is there a better avenue?

Star Wars: Andor The prequel series to Rogue One. It starts slowly but spins up by episode 3. I enjoyed it but perhaps it says something that my two favorite characters were his very likable droid and the flawed Empire officer. 7/10

Archangel BBC mini series from 2005. Daniel Craig plays a history professor in search of some of Stalin's documents. Twisty Russian set thriller that gives the original series of Condor a run for it's money. 8/10

Obi-Wan Kenobi Slow with a morose main character, 'I'm not the man I was 10 years ago'. Better than The Book of Boba Fett, not as good as the Mandalorian. 7/10 The Orville season 3 The Star Trek alternative seems to have more ideas and be better written than say the wincingly bad second season of Picard. 7/10

Halo Generic American-centric militaristic sci-fi. Big budget with nice effects but overall a bit lacklustre. 7/10

Raised by Wolves S2 The story of a group of children raised by two androids, set against the backdrop of a war between religious and atheist cultures (executive producer Ridley Scott). It begins, as with S1, with great visuals but a so so storyline. However with eps 4 and 5 there is a sudden change of pace, with aspects reminiscent of Prometheus.

The Book of Boba Fett Episodes 1-4 were so so, but 5 and 6 were essentially episodes of The Mandalorian, with it's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vibe. About half of 6 also featured a young Luke, impressive SFX.

A Discovery of Witches S3 Deborah Harkness's story of the forbidden affair between a vampire and a witch returns to contemporary intrigue after a weak second season.

The Witcher S2 Henry Cavill's wry dispatcher of monsters returns but this season is a step down from the first.

Foundation Asimov's seminal series, produced by Apple TV. An odd mix of the dull and the wonderful, I ended up FF about half of each episode. 6/10 Invasion Apple TV 'Earth is visited by an alien species that threatens humanity's existence'. Sam Neill, big budget, what could go wrong? Nothing much seems to happen. 2/10

No Time to Die Cary Joji Fukunaga's direction gives the movie a really fresh and edgy feel. Combined with Daniel Craig's Bond, with a fading machismo harness, makes it one of the best ever.

Many thanks, will check them out

I have a large Sheffield silver plated tray I'm trying to value. The only marking it has are similar to a hallmark, might anyone recognize the symbols?

Dune 2021 The 1984 version is one of my fave pieces of cinema, and also here the book has been divided into two, so some mixed feelings going into the preview. However it nails the scale, the characterization is precise and the graphics are both intriguing and inspiring. Wonderful, 9/10
