I bet it was on a few people's radar before it was on mine, and I bet you probably got offers before you got advise!

I am interested though, looking at your auctions, where all this stuff came from. It looks like a typical British collection from bitd, but the ST1 is an outlier because of when and where it was available.
Was this your stuff, or did you pick it up from one place. Also (and I know it's a personal question so feel free to ignore it) how old are you and did you actively love all of this nonsense like many of us here did?!
Good luck
Carl

Hi Carl, I’m 52 and totally understand the people on here. Everything came from one estate that was cleared under probate. Located in Essex near Chelmsford

Just a heads up in case it wasn't obvious.
This should be packed well, flat and rigid between multiple cardboard sheets, and then stuch in a big box with bubble wrap.
The buyer deserves pristine delivery even if it's comped to him.
A lot of people selling high end stuff on eBay are lousy at packing.
Good price already IMO, and even if you hit £10K, I envy the person who gets this in their collection.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Thanks for the concern, its not my first Rodeo lol, I sell Jazz LPs first Editions

I've been out today, and got a stiff cardboard/plastic wallet, tissue, polystyrene sheets, then more stiff cardboard etc etc. Hopefully b0mb proof once shipped

Though you're 100 percent right, I'm hoping the person collects it, or I can meet in London, fingers crossed

Though if they want me to delivery, at their cost to fly me to their country, happily do that lol

Others have indicated $12000 dollars so fingers crossed, everyones starting to watch now 1200 views and 110 watchers on Ebay

Thankyou

£9K is a good price, and a great copy for the buyer too. So congradulations all round I think.

I remember getting a neutral feedback once because they felt the item was ridiculously overpacked and took them almost an hour to open it.....well you wanted it sent safe..sooooo......


Are we nearly there yet?

And to think I grew up 30 mins drive from Stoke-on-trent and the Garden Festival was a big thing and I ... didn't go :-(

I did go after it closed - many many times - as it became the site of our local multiplex cinema.

I wonder what happened to those three 'water damaged' copies that showed on eBay from the one seller in CZ or Bulgaria or somewhere. The story was they were rolled up and stuffed in that back of a trunk, but they looked like they had been rolled up and suitcased to smuggle them out of a camp. All the damage could have been there to hide the fact that they were fakes. I don't recall those auctions closing, so I wonder what happenned to them.

One of the buyers of the "water damaged" copies recently commented on his purchase on the Facebook Acaeum group.  He indicated that they were indeed photocopies.  He did get a refund for it.  Not sure about the other buyers, though.
