I have collected many items over the years and it is now time to let some go as well as finally have room in an overflowing loft.

I have tried to give an give a fair appraisal of the items but please remember that I am going by my own standards. In other words if I say good condition then in my opinion the condition is such that I would be happy to buy it myself at the price given. Everybody has different points of view and I am no expert on condition types so please contact me if you have any questions.... I would rather you were happy before buying.

I will try and describe the item but I would like to state that the photographs are an important part of my selling...so please study them carefully. If you are are uncertain of anything please contact me and ask.
