I have a big collection of music including the entire now collection from 1-86 so far

 

 

 

Some of the early ones are very expensive now aren't they?

 

I had NOW8 on CD in mint condition (I think 7 was the 1st?)

 

When I had to move last year I had to sell it, I was happy with the £102 it raised.

 

On those lines I have (or HAD) as many U2 vinyls as I could get over the years...my prize one was U23  (out of control) with the original press (it was repressed twice more after that), for that I got £130.01...oh yeah the penny! lol

 

So to cut it short, U2 records!, got some good ones still..all I need now is a new 'record player'

I used to collect panini football stickers. One Saturday after getting paid from doing my paper round I had purchased a few packs. I jumped on my bike to bike home and decided to open a pack whilst riding none handed up the street. I was shuffling through my stickers when "BANG" I went straight into the back of a parked car. Luckily no one was looking lol

I obsessively keep every single mains charger cable that I find. Just in case.
Still not sure why...

Impressive collection you have in your garden.

As I collect telephone related stuff, I am very impressed/jealous of your 10!!! way arm telephone pole with porcelain insulators!!!!! plus top insulator with lead weather proof sheathing!! Fantastic Oh and birdbox LOL.

 

I go to a lot of antique and collectors fairs in my area. I found a very rare first edition Tim Wonnacot at a bargain price. How much is it worth at auction???

Ricardo I have an old BT amp meter knocking about the cellar somewhere, if you are ever near Rochester you are welcome to it.

As for the first edition Tim Wonnacot, I don't think they are worth as much as a golden Dickinson?????

[sulzerNed]

Thank s for interest . Im quite proud of that telegraph pole . I got the pole from a bt yard that my brother in law use to work at . The insulator s and arms are all railway.i do like the langdon s pot s.

[sulzerNed]

A K6 Telephone Kiosk would look a treat just next to it. With a blue and white enamel 'You may telephone from here' sign on the pole. Talking 'money' these days for such items though.
The problem with the internet and antique/collector programmes on TV, is that everyone now knows the value of everything!!!!!
 
Fruit machines included.

that s exactly the problem with the rly stuff too . Would like a phone box but as you say they are costly.occasionally a bargain does crop up still

[Zoltar]

I collect 1/70 scale models of buses. A bit odd you might think but they aren't toys. All with limited manufacture runs and numbered certificates. Quite an expensive hobby considering the average model costs about £20.

[corel]

back in the day I used to collect (by picking them of the street) 

 

Smartie tube plastic tops

Chip shop wooden and plastic forks

Fizzy drink ring pulls

Ice lolly sticks (ones with a joke on them)
