Ok, bumping this cos the shirt arrived yesterday in a display case and with a seal of authenticity. Its pretty damned cool! I will post pics when I can.
Thing is, I am beginning to wonder how much I could sell it for? And how best to go about it? Go ahead and flame me for wanting to sell such a cool bit of memorabilia, but its actually pretty big, we have nowhere to put it, and if it could get me a fair bit of dosh then its all going in the wedding/house buying fund!

I'll give you a fiver. To be honest that's more than it's worth, doubt you'll get a better deal. I'll pm you my address.

 

[Jaberwocky]

Can we come around and sniff it?

 

[Uara]

I see your £5 and raise you to £5.05!

 

[mycenae]

I'm not selling it for a fiver...I was hoping for more like a figure in the hundreds if you thinks its possible. I know that people can pay a lot for memorabilia....

 

[Scouse]

Ebay with a 1k reserve

 

[MYstIC G]

I'd love to own something like that but hundreds unfortunately brings my head out of fan territory, i.e. while I'd love to own it, I'd rather go out and spend the money on having fun than stay in and look at a shirt

Would your shopkeep friend not give you a small fee for putting it on display? That way you could still own it, not leave it rotting somewhere, get a little something out of it and your shopkeep friend has something that might draw them some extra punters?

 

[MYstIC G]

Or sell it to one of these two: Collectors Edition | Features | Red Dwarf

 

[mycenae]

I've actually just contacted Movie Props, Memorabilia, Hollywood Costumes, Huge Exclusive Selection from film and television. Prop Store of London who said they would be interested in buying it. Now I have to try and figure out how much to ask for!

 

[Fweddy]

I'm willing to go as high as £5.20.

 

[mycenae]

hmm, related stuff on propstore is selling for between £400 to £700!

 

[JingleBells]

Drinks are on mycenae then

 

[Bahumat]

Where's the picture please? Would be cool to see it

 

[old.user4556]

ebay

yep.

 

[mycenae]

will post a pic when Vae gets home, as he knows how!

 

[Vae]

Pics!

 

[taB]

That's fucking cool. Remember if noone makes you a sensible offer my outrageous £5 will be available.

 

[mycenae]

I know, its really cool....but the possibility of £500 is also pretty cool.....
