Hello everyone
I've just signed up, and having been browsing a few threads, I must say I'm sorry I didn't find this forum sooner (more later on why)
About me, well, I live in London, have two boys, one starting university soon and the other finishing. I also have a couple of labradors and a wife, and its fair to say none of them quite get the collecting habit I also can't believe it's almost 40 years since my dad took my younger brother and me to see Star Wars...Of course, we collected figures and toys, some then, some later> I kept going, on and off, getting onto quite a collection. I bought ungraded and graded.
Anyway, I'm at the stage of life when I'm thinking of downsizing, so sadly at the other end of my collecting career..I thought it would be nice to give my sons some cash towards university fees for the younger and a flat deposit for the older. So during the last few weeks, I've been selling off my collection on eBay - mostly the "lesser" figures, most of which are graded, including a boba fett (which I will miss, but I won't miss the ewoks), as well as graded die cast figures. Unbelievably, I only just found this forum yesterday...
In the coming week or so, I will be listing the core - the main 12 figures, all 12 backs, mostly A, some B and C, and all graded mostly 80, but a few 85 and 75, and all Kenner apart from R2D2 which is Palitoy. I will also be listing boxed vehicles, mostly unopened - X wings, Tie, Imperial Tie, Scout Walker, Land speeder, B wing. I'll apologies in advance of being a "one-off wonder"
Whilst Id' like to get the best possible price, I do hope they go to a good home. I'll add an eBay link, and if any genuine Forum members from here contact me, I'll provide an additional discount for them on the final sale price.
Best wishes
PS - will not be selling these but wanted to share how it all started for me ...I have the backdrop somewhere for the stand, somewhere. The case doubled up for a lunch box and carrying figures to friends houses for my brother
