Memorabilia

Last weekend, 22nd and 23rd saw us at the NEC and the Autumn Memorabilia show. And what a good show it was!! The atmosphere was buzzing, most of the folks doing the signings I had actually heard of. To be fair most would know Jeff Wayne, he of the War of the Worlds, Lindsay Wagner, she of the bionic limbs, Gareth David-Lloyd, he of Torchwood, you know the welsh one and Henry Winkler, the Fonz no less. Well actually abit more these days as he seems to have filled out a bit!! But then again don't we all at his age. And then there were Doctor Who folks, Bond girls from the 60's, Sports Stars 'n' all.

I listened in on Jeff Wayne's talk and found it enjoyable, but then I'm biased as I've seen his Live show twice, thoroughly recommend it to one and all.

Oh in between all this we had a successful time not only selling, but I managed to pick up a few bargains that have since enjoyed a wee bit of a mark up. But that's business for you.

If you've not been to Memorabilia before then try and catch the next one in March, you won't be disappointed!! And if you do you'll always catch a bargain from us.

Spalding Toyfair 16 November

Well it was back to Spalding today and due to other fairs around there was a wee lack of traders, however that didn't stop us, besides the other fairs were further away, though it did mean we missed out on Doncaster, one of our favourites.

On the whole though we did ok, thanks to the Doctor Who and a little touch of magic from the faeries. Maybe the Doctor should return as a Fairy after he regenerates from David Tennant, then we're assured of success at toyfairs up and down the land.

We also managed to bag ourselves a couple of bargains, but we can't say what they are otherwise you'd go looking for them!!

Collectormania, Midlands

The last two days, Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd, saw us at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry for Collectormania. Unfortunately it may be the credit crunch or the lack of star names but the two-day event was a bit of a damp squib, and not just for the poor weather.

Not too many folks turned up and those that did weren't putting their hands in their pockets to buy all these wonderful items we had for sale, nor anyone else's by the sounds of it. We did better than most but then we didn't do very well, so it doesn't take a mathematician to work out how the others did.

Still it's back to the toyfairs next!! See you at Spalding, hopefully.
