Kalikat

Hello I was wondering if anybody could give me advice.
I have inherited a room full of items relating to James Bond
from corgi cars to lp's, books, dolls,movie poster stands, James Bond JR VHS,
Pens,watches everything u could think of. Photos are available.
Would anybody know a collector of this stuff so I could sell it as I have no use or room for it.
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to AJB, even if it is just a short visit? Perhaps you would care to post images of the collection to give collectors an idea of what you have...you may be sitting on a gold mine?

texas007

always shaken

Post pictures please ,and word of advice ,don't sell until the AJB experts have given you advice ,you could have some very valuable stuff,and you don't want some old tosher coming round and robbing you of its true worth,

Very impressive...where are you based?

Well, anyone who can put together a collection like that must have a very good idea what items are worth. Cool

I'm about 12 miles away so if fellow ABJers are wanting stuff I could assist in the shipping to the states or elsewhere etc

Well the first thing you should do is call the guineas book of records - they may have made a terrible mistake recently )

Seriously your relative has amassed an impressive collection and there are plenty of items that have some value though the rest are probably destined eBay..

There are plenty of toy experts on here ( eg poormansajb) who will be able to help you with valuations or even be keen on some themselves.

One thing, the ppk looks like a umarex (reck) equivalent as per this site - I think I can make out perfecta and possibly el Alamein ( though the flash seems to be obscuring that) - just flick down to the appropriate portion of the page

As such gun experts like asp9mm/donk might like to off you some (private) advice...

But congrats, there are definitely some nice pieces there

For myself, I'd like to see the right hand shelves which look like books....

The PPK isn't that collectable Bond-wise. It's an old Perfecta replica circa 1980's that fires 8mm blanks and is therefore illegal to sell except to specialists. Monetary value is around £120 to £150.

Some of those could definitely hold some interest...

There has to be one of those snazzy golden wonder watches in there surely, can't just be 15 year old crisps )
Very cool collection though, while we wait for the experts verdict I'm going to contact everyone I know called Andy just to be sure...

Kalikat,
Just wanted to say that its a very impressive collection and that the fact that you inherited it seems to say that 'we' in the Bond community appear to have lost a fellow collector. Condolences to you for I'm sure was a very close friend or relative.

Agreed, it looks a wonderful collection {[] and a lot of effort
Obviously went in to putting it together.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but it's a load of worthless tat. To help you out, I could come round this evening and take the whole lot of your hands for £50. That'll save you the price of a skip.

On a more serious note, that's an impressive collection. I have no idea about values but some of those items must be sought after.

Have you checked the garage? You might be lucky and find a real DB5 !

pm sent about the 007 auction in march .

Kalikat

Hey thanks for the response I am going to the property
After work to get photos of the books, they are in alphabetical order so
Will add pics in the evening
Regards
Andy

Kalikat

Thanks again for the advice so far, would like
To wish all in the forum a happy new year!

Where are the watches you stated were also in the collection?

Kalikat

Here are a few pictures of the books and other bits.

Bloody Hell! There may be some first editions there. There's quite a bit of money in that collection. Thousands easily.

welshboy78

Yeah - would kill for that lol

Kalikat

Sorry about the photos the seem to have gone upside down lol

Kalikat

Right way up this time!

Asp9mm

There is a LOAD of money tied up in that collection. Just don't sell it in bulk as you will lose out big time, you seem to have some rare and valuable pieces there.

welshboy78

Im no book expert but I spot several originals (multiples of same book) and FELs with slip covers - very nice!!!

themanfrombrussels

thank you Andy , my item arrived safely yesterday .

Didn't realize it was already being parted-out; thought a member here was helping to organize.
