investing cash in items

[djinuk]

Well i like the idea of investing cash in a few items and something i speant a few quid on last night was 3x lego sets from the late 80s early 90s, all of which are boxed and 100% complete.

Just wondering if anybody else invests in items and what items exactly.

[tonesGTT]

Im hoping, possibly in vain, that some of my vinyl will gain value. I know the early Nirvana vinyl/CD's (pre Nevermind) i have are already worth serveral hundred quid :)

Technic Lego was where it was at ;) Anyone remember the car chassis one? Man that was an epic build as i remember :laugh:

Grandmaster Flash, dance music pioneer!!! White Lines wasnt it or was that someone else? And no, i could never sell ANY records so i guess that doesnt make for much of an investment as such :crap: Just a way of chucking money away . . . . Same could be said of the 5, i see that as an investment, but would i ever sell it? Cant see it happening in the near future. I guess that makes me a poor businessman :laugh:

[clee]

Yep ...Duran did a cover of White Lines but ' The message' was the seminal track :cool:

Would love to, but no money left after buying the cars. Run out of space.

[Shane P]

Not sure if you are getting warmer of not, i think i am gonna have to dig out an O.E prize for the correct answer :D

[Mart]

Encyclopedia or coin set?

[TrixNFlix]

70's dining set :scared:

[Shane P]

Encyclopedia or coin set?

Unfortunately no :)

The contents is more a celebration of English engineering workmanship during the industrial revolution, although these were never sold new in the UK, they were made by the Germans.

Hmm, only new O.E parts i can find are a steering U/V joint and a towing eye covered painted Raider blue :crap:

[TrixNFlix]

Show us some pics from inside then shane :p

[Mart]

Ironically, I need to replace the squeeky steering uj on my gtt :D

:cry:

[clee]

I'm getting irritated now .....could be any bloody thing ....clues are required :rolleyes:

[Junglist]

[Scoff]

Britannia coins :)

[rs250nut]

Eightys porn stashed in a nice box:jerkoff:

[Bigfoot]

The other doesn't say britannia though. So i recon 5 different boxes for different parts of industrial revolution. How do you give something a value of £2k when they are the only 2 you have seen?

[Andrew Cooke]

:agree: that was going to be my next guess

[Shane P]

Because i know how much they use to cost when they were being sold new, the demand of them was high then. I am also very aware of how much collectors like me are willing to pay to obtain them now, as complete sets, as i would pay nearly the same :)

[Hoolio]
