An item is only worth as much as someone will pay.
As a vinyl collector i'm with you on this Fred, i've stumped money up for vinyl some consider worthless. I honestly couldn't give a fuck if something i've spent £50 on is only worth 50p, i pay what it's worth to me, not what the market states. I often simply have to own it, i don't buy it as an investment, i buy it because i love it, i need it, appreciate it ten times more than someone else and wouldn't part with it for anything. Put simply, it gives me pleasure.
Good on you. I've got some interesting vinyl......do you buy for the music or covers? I'm open to offers starting at 50 quid an item.

She could do the ironing while she's there.

Good on you. I've got some interesting vinyl......do you buy for the music or covers? I'm open to offers starting at 50 quid an item.  My taste is "acquired" shall we say! I do have some old Beatles tat, some which is actually worth a few bob, but that was given to me as a gift and lives in my old dears garage, because the beatles mean nothing to me. I'm sure you're only joking, but i used to pretty much pick stuff up for no reason at all, often not even liking it, i believe years ago, i was a true "vinyl junkie". Fortunately i have kicked the bulk habit and now only have my finer, loved items. I sold about 1000 pieces on eBay a year or so ago for about £60 because i needed to have a clear out. It seems silly now, but i seemed to childishly believe everyone loved vinyl as much as me, so used to buy collections for £5 at jumble sales and stuff, and then just let it rot! Crazy thing is, the bloke who bought the collection i sold on eBay, said he buys more than 20000 records a year on eBay and has 2 rooms in his house full of vinyl most of which he's never heard. I didn't believe him until i looked at his eBay feedback which was entirely massive record collections purchased from eBay. It made me realise i'm but a child in comparison!  Jesus, i'm a bit like a bird, why use 2 words, when you can use 5 minutes, a story and find 15 points to digress upon?

I used to often pop into the big one by the post office at the top of Vic Hill. You get some mint stuff in there. Star Trek IV, VI and VIII on DVD, a Master System with a couple of games, some cook books, Ally even bought a rug. I wound him up and told him somebody had probably died on it. I was only winding him up, it was a good rug.

ages ago i bought a sin city-"that yellow bastard" print off ebay
it's limited to 100 and i've got one, i paid £6 for it. i get it and next time my mate is round he looks at me and asks where i got it. "ebay". "you twat, you could've gotten it a lot cheaper, i was trying to outbid you"
£6 for a 100 run of a print, of an ace comic (was part of the sin city film).
i might put it on ebay just to see how much i could get for it now the film is cool
