Slowly regaining the Paul Residence from the influx of Action Men it seems Paul? Or is it that you keep finding more shelf space?


HA! the truth is somewhere in the middle Steve-o!

Two cheques are in the post.

When they arrive, that will be the entire lot - SOLD!

Not bad for 6 weeks.

When I bought the entire collection [£2.2K], I had plans to keep 'a few hundred pounds worth' and sell the rest on.




End result: I've kept about half!

But I have sold half!

Moneywise, I've made back about £1800 quid which is superb.

I've gotten over a grand's worth of Action Man for a few hundred pounds! Re-Sult!




I am, however, sick to the high teeth of packing stuff up.

And I don't want to go the post office again for at least a year or two...





Seriously, if any of you fancy making a few quid. My advice is:

Take out an interest free credit card [Halifax do a 9-months one at the mo...]

Buy the full 40th collection from Modellor's Loft: £2,150

Break it up and sell individually.

You'll get back about £3K because some of the stuff has shot up in value.

It takes a bit of time and effort but it's free money at the end of the day to spend on those Shadow armies...

Don't sell on ebay - I hardly touched it [only sold £200 quid's worth there] - uses the AM forums and sell privately. Ask for payment in cheques, it worked for me!





Many thanks to Paul463, SteveD and anyone else who bought from me - much appreciated chaps!


Money Guru,

Paul

Excellent result my friend! I can't believe you got all of those lovely action men for less than five hundred quid! Top notch!

Apparently I'm going to be on the next series of The Apprentice...

My hats off to you sir!

Wow, well done Paul. If I tried that it would be divorce for sure.

I'd hate to imagine how much I've spent on my Actionmen..
