    Give him a bed, chair, a spoon, a tin of cold beans and wall to wall Star Wars and he’ll be a happy man

    Today, I sold four carded figures and bought a…

    I had a choice yesterday, buy a Trilogo Luke Hoth or be a child and buy an expensive fridge with a pretentious door that goes transparent when you tap it so you can see what's in there. Obviously I bought the fridge.

    When and why did you stop collecting SW

    I don’t think I bought anything, or even got bought any more after about 86/87. I do vividly remember going into Dominoes toys in Leicester every two weeks from 88 onward (until at least 89, maybe even 90) and seeing a rack of Trilogos and never getting any. I was all about the market stall...

    Darth Vader Clipper Baggie ID

    I seriously doubt anyone was faking them in 2012 - and from my very basic knowledge it looks good

    Vintage investment collectors...30 years from now?

    This isn’t great to read - especially when you have given so much over the years. 100% agree on the copycat/expert bit though - I know who I would ask about a number of SW niches, and it almost certainly isn’t the people I see tagged on Facebook when questions arise about those niche items -...

    2023 Collecting round up & 2024 Plans

    There’s something to be said for not making plans - Hamill wasn’t at Celebration, and based on the prices for the other actors I’d comfortably say I wouldn’t have been paying whatever they wanted for him anyhow. 2023 - had a couple of nice pick ups, and much to everyone’s surprise I still have...

    Capital Gains Tax

    Do people honestly think HMRC are sufficiently resourced to go through eBay/paypal etc sales to then audit people? There’s no legal requirement to keep proof of purchase for every item you sell, you could just as easily get a few receipt books to say you bought x, y or at whatever toy fair, in...

    Capital Gains Tax

    Echo live would see more sales than FF these days I think. Alternatively you could arrange collection or drop off for cash, especially if you did a bit of a bulk deal - might not get FMV but if it wasn’t too much off and saved tax related issues then it could be beneficial. And cash may help...

    Capital Gains Tax

    As with any legal definition it’s often decided by test cases, or cited examples of x, y or z. Ultimately if it went to court its the strength of your argument vs that of HMRC. You could point to the grading and casing of figures and cards as proof that they degrade over time. There will be...
