Hi eug

I do get the odd one or two personalised to me, but generally they are not personalised and go into the charity pile for auction!

Hi eug

I auctioned some items just before Christmas, but the intention was to collect until the successes started to dry up.

Unfortunately (or fortunately!) they haven't, so I should be auctioning the rest in the next couple of months. It is really a matter of having the time to list them!

I currently have about 500 genuine autos which are going to take ages to list!!! I may well end up doing them in groups over a period of time.

just wondering Ian, how much did you spend for all these successes? sorry, im just curious.

Hi purpleyes

Good question! I have never really added it all up at once, but I am guessing it must be around £500 including the stamps, envelopes and photos (when I send them!!!)

I have collected about 800 signed photos and other pieces of memorabilia since March 2005, although I have now sold about half of them in two online auctions and the charity sold some at an actual in-person auction. The sales value has far exceeded the costs etc though

Cheers!

Hey Ian

From when you started, how much money have you earned after selling all of them on eBay?

I haven't seen you post many success's. . .I suppose it's a dry spell

What charity are you collecting for?

Thanks alot

Hi Ian,

Wonderful collection!
I've 2 questions:

Several autographs of your collection are red. (post #1) Why?

All of this autos are in ebay? Where? I don't find them.

Thanks your answer!

I can't find them on e-bay "/

Hi Ellen

Several autographs of your collection are red. (post #1) Why?

The reason for that is because when I started collecting for charity I kept list up-to-date, with the latest successes in red. Unfortunately about a year ago I realised I no longer had the time to keep the list updated, as my collection for charity just got too large

All of this autos are in ebay? Where? I don't find them.

I hold my auctions in large lots, and I don't currently have any on eBay. I hope to have an auction up-and-running in time for Christmas though, so I'll get back to you with information as and when I have it .

Thanks!
Ian
