Rats collection for sale
Permalink  
 


Have decided to offer up vast majority of my collection if anyone is interested?

Planning on keeping CD box set and a few other items but other than that feels like right time to pass on as all vinyl, posters/cuttings, badges/patches etc are not really seeing light of day, and many CDs are duplicating what I've already got.

If anyone is seriously interested let me know and I'll do a proper catalogue. Would include all UK regular issues, various imports and rarities so will use eBay as my overall price guide. All the vinyl is at least VG, some of it hardly played. Every UK 7" is original pic sleeve.

Posters range from Jackie and Smash Hits centrespreads right through to full size gig posters.

Finally, not overly interested in breaking collection up to sell so for now it's an all or nothing offer.

I'm not. Will be looking to sell privately.

Only mentioned eBay as a likely price guide for things like the Mondo Bongo 5 track promo, Go Man Go 7" etc etc

Will try to snap anything unusual - the rest is commonplace enough

Unfortunately can't really justify doubling up on a lot of the vinyl and CDs I've already got or I'd be all over the posters/badges etc. Good luck!

Might be able to do something there. Got someone asking about vinyl only so 2 way split is fine...just reluctant to sell piecemeal.

I'll try to catalogue roughly what's available this weekend.

In which case, colour me interested. A ball park figure of what you're hoping for would be good too.

I thank you should target a USA fan. Due to the fact the Rats did not make it big in the good old US of A. So would be hard to pick up what you have for sale. I'm sure there would be some die hard fans here that would love to get there hand on your catalogue. Plus you might get a better price

It's a fair shout but my concern there is P&P!

I'm colouring Tango in for the memorabilia stuff as requested (in Blackpool tangerine obviously) and hoping delivery by hand will negate need for P&P to outweigh cost of collection

She might be the only one on forum who could actually fit into those tour t-shirts anyway!

Not heard anything about that, but in meantime I've started to snap collection for bits I'm offloading. Only really keeping box set and anything signed to me personally so there's quite a bit going. Have broken down by genre, and will follow with select posters and so on, but still 'flattening' those for pic purposes, plus trying to track down a couple missing in depths of loft  

On basis these are 'worth what people are willing to pay' I'm happy to take any offers via PM. Will also consider delivering depending on location as Rats are on the road over next couple of. months so detours possible. Preference remains to sell as job lots, at least by genre, but if anyone makes an offer that can't be ignored for individual items will consider separating.

Just want these to go to a good home really, ie. not from me to buyer straight to eBay.

Pics to follow.....

Vinyl 7" - all uk issues plus selected imports. Dun Laoghaire and Eva Braun both B sides of Clockwork. The clear flexi is Christmas message to fans. Haven't included my Dun Laoghaire flexi as it got creased so not sure it's playable.
