Blackburn Rovers v
           Huddersfield Town - Cup Final 1928
 This item was brought to my attention by a friend who supports Blackburn Rovers. I don't think he was the winning bidder though...
Description : Match programme in very good condition from the FA Cup Final played on April 21st 1928. The programme is 28 pages and has no writing or otherwise.
Cover price was 6d and there are adverts for Sunripe cigarettes, Bovril, His Masteres Voice amongst others.
This programme will be a very good aquisition for any collector and has been in my collection for over 16 years.

 As I've said many times before there were large amounts of these programmes sold on the day and a good few will still be tucked away in "grandads" cupboard. If you are in the market for making a few bob then ask the old boy if his dad went to this game, it may just be worth your while.

It's essential you check the sellers feedback, also the items the seller generally sells as we are talking serious money here. As a matter of interest I checked both the sellers and buyers feedback and like my own they are both top class which is as good as it gets. 

Auction finished with a winning bid of £1,229.00 - WOW

Manchester Uni£ed are not a club I admire, me being a blue  mooner but I do appreciate the fact that I can make a few bob off their fans. According to popular belief Uni£ed supporters come from far and wide and this is backed up by my Ebay sales. As yet I haven't posted any to Manchester, indeed I think Yorkshire is the nearest. I do have a couple of regular buyers in Thailand and Hong Kong who buy shirts and programmes.
The programme on the left was a bit of a surprise, I bought about 300 United progs from Grey Mare Lane Market in Gorton (Manchester) for £20.00. I have sold 8 which covered my outlay and then this one, a friendly against Hull in Dec 72 netted me a cool £18.56 to a buyer in Scarborough. This was obviously a hard to find issue which are always likely to raise the ante.

Airfix Austin Healey 1/32nd scale Plastic Model
This Airfix plastic 1/32 scale model kit has been wasting it's time away in my study for over 30 years so I thought it was about time that I let someone have the benefit of it. One Sunday evening there was an Austin Healey Sprite exactly the same as this one parked outside the leisure centre in New Mills, my home town. I was tempted to offer it to the owner but when I saw a young girl of about 20 get in it I decided she would probably think I was some sort of pervy so I gave it a miss. However hopefully an enthusiast who will appreciate it has bought it, especially as he won a well fought auction with his winning bid of £15.02. Another example of niche products, I think I paid about 1s 6d when I bought it with the intention of converting it into a Scalextric car. I bought a Vauxhall Viva at the same time and converted that, perhaps I should have held on to it.

   EBAY QUALITY SALES
 

The most sought after European Final programme the very rare Man City v Gornik Zabre Cup Winners Cup Final. This doesn't come up very often as there weren't that many sold. On a dreadful wet and windy evening many were ruined and discarded.  However there are quite a few about tucked away in cupboards and drawers in Manchester. It bugs me that this is the only major Final of City's I have missed since 1955 and would love a copy to add to my collection. I do have Man Uni£eds Final Prog v Benfica at Wembley if anyone out there wants to swap.
 

This old 1950's or earlier wooden football rattle in excellent condition for the year and in perfect working order. A great piece of football memorbilia not to be missed. Very noisy - present bid £4.99 finishes Dec 4th 02  17:58     FINAL   Price £13.25
Now that was a bargain - one that convinced me to hold on to my own old footy rattle that graced the open end at Maine Road during the fifties.


 How to obtain your favourite Music for free or better

A while ago I decided to get some decent quality Rolling Stones Music to replace the old vinyl one's I own at present, but I don't want to pay for it. Well there are no free lunches, or so it is said. I spotted an excellent copy of 'The best of the Rolling Stones - Jump Back 71- 93' CD in a local shop costing £2.99 so I purchased it. The first job was to turn it into MP3 files of a good quality, 160Kbps is fine, using EasyCD Creator. I can then burn them back onto CD and have a copy for my computer. A visit to http://www.cdcovers.cc/covers.php (sadly they had to remove the audio section - use google to find another - UPDATE.... a cover request section is now available on cdcovers, quite useful) to download the covers and label and drop a copy of them into the mp3 file ready to make my new covers with EasyCD Creator label maker and Bob's your uncle. Now place the original CD on Ebay with a starting price of £3.00 and any higher bids puts you in profit giving you free music or better.
AUCTION ENDED - The auction ended with a good profit, final price £6.50. There were 9 bids with a late flurry on the last day but, yet again a last minute raid took it. So I end up with a good copy and £3.50 profit plus my money back to buy another one on Monday. This is what Ebay is all about, fair trade and fun.
