Collecting stuff

[Venod]

You need to have a look a muzuma mobile (they are according to reviews the most honest and reliable) I sent 2 old Blackberrys to them and got £120!..... depends on how old and how popular the phones are/were

I don't think the ones we have will be worth anything, I sold an old Blackberry on eBay, I was surprised how much it sold for.

Donate them to a museum like The Museum Of Brands and they will be saved for future posterity.

I used to do that sort of thing with coins and notes, but ended up spending them in a time of skintness!

As a kid I used to collect Smarties Tubes - You'd be surprised the amount of different designs they had at one point.... Still do in fact, even if it is the Hexatube now.

When I was at sixth form, we had a sort of game in the biology lab. I can't remember how it started, but it involved 'hiding' Smartie tubes in clear sight. Like lying down along the top ledge of the blackboard, or standing up on a bookshelf, among the spines of books. This went on all autumn term, and then at Christmas we strung loads of tubes on string and hung them like garlands across the ceiling!

I'd have taken them home afterwards because, although I collected them mainly as a kid, when I was older, I still knew my collection could be added too. I would have taken them in secret so as not to be laughed at though.

Dust. Not me personally but my house in general. And spiders. As soon as I finnish dusting its back again. And spiders. No matter how many I get rid of (kill) there are more. Does that count. ?

I've got about 30 - 40 years worth of Country Music People magazine, most of it came from an old boy in North London who wanted to pass it on to another idiot music fan.

I remember at College they had quite a few old photographic magazines from the late '60s/early '70s.

Seemingly, if you wanted to sell just about anything in those days, all you needed was a picture of a topless woman!

I still have a couple of NMEs from the seventies (not because I kept them on purpose, they went in moving boxes with books and stuff and have followed me around from place to place).[/quote]

It's great for LP reviews

I used to collect tinplate toys, vehicles mainly but I sold most of them.

I hope you've indexed and begun digitisation. I can recommend a SAN to store it all on.
