Star wars figures some fetch £100s now

thats just my way of thinking Sally, all my money investments have lost big time, so way not invest in medals etc and you also get a nice hobby to with it

I have a fold-away plastic box full of Lego.......if anyone wants to make an offer.......lol.....

We also had another box full of Star Wars figures, the original ones, but they have gone missing too.......my Son looked in the loft, but they were not there.......my Daughter was always good at car- boot sales though.....

When you think about it RB and Candyman, collections are hedges against inflation........if you can afford to buy when prices are low and people are selling at this time........people always collect stuff, and medals are good to collect, they are always in demand.....

and all them dinky cars etc i played with

must have spent £2000 on medals over the past 2 years. i did sell some of my fag paper collection, that covered about half of it.

People go through stages of collecting things RB.......and you only know if it is getting out of hand if you cannot get rid of things like old newspapers and such........ my Uncle's flat was full of piles of newspapers, bless him....

I collected coins when young, but gave up when a couple were stolen when we took our hobbies into school, to be judged by teachers, and it was then that the coins went missing......

I have a £l note a 10/- note a 5000 dinar note from the old Yugoslavia..... and a 20 Mark Reichsbanknote dated 8th June 1907......very dirty.......I also had a German banknote with ein millionen mark stamped across it, when inflation took hold before the war......bought it in a German flea market, but it could be a fake.......just looked for it, and can't find it.....

when i see what i think are bargains, just have to have them, i'v stamps, coins, fag paper booklets, medals now started on camera's when will it end

no sex today please i'm in big trouble

you all checked your 2008 20p, loads minted without a date on, worth £50 +, check now you never know.

I have a mint 1945 farthing somewhere the year of my birth.

morning Sally & Candyman, don't think the euro will far off, think its on par now 1 for 1, collecting money, i collect every thing, must go see the doc sure i'm not playing with a full deck.

I didn't know the sixpence had been around for that long RB......I do know the earlier ones were silver.....

I have been wondering recently, with them removing Brittania from the coinage, and changing designs of the coins, that we are being prepared to accept the Euro.....

What a great loss.

June 30th 1984 Last sixpence minted in Great-Britain (in use since 1551)
