Selling up my Joe collection.

Hi guys due to hard times and lack if funds and enthusiasm I am selling up my much loved Gi Joe collection. I have sold all my boxed vehicles and now I am left to sell literally hundreds of figures and most are complete and in great condition.
First come first served, I have lots of international figures and convention figures. It is easier for you to tell me what your after rather than me typing out a huge list so let me know if you are interested and what your looking for.
I am still collecting Palitoy Action Force and am happy to trade for any Palitoy goodies that I still need.
Many thanks Warren.

Sorry to hear it mate, at least you're keeping your AF collection

I know the feeling of being skint, I payed off my debts with my sales then I seem to have racked up another £1K, bye bye RORC

Me too mate in the space of a week my fridge freezer has broke, the kids have killed my Bluray player, I have broken my only pair of glasses and between mine and my Mrs cars we have best part of a grands worth of work needs doing. Seems like everything is going wrong and I'm at my wits end. Hopefully the toys will help with the cost a bit but it's sad to see them going to simply pay bills. Such is life I suppose, just got to keep rolling with the punches. Doesn't look like I'm going to be at RORC this weekend after all

Sad times Warren, can you not at a push make Roll Call?
Once the dust has settled on Roll Call, I'll take my Super Hero back at cost. Plus I'd be interested in some of those custom international figures you have. Drop me a PM when you get a chance.

Cheers Jon, all depends on the next couple of days and what I can off load, it's not looking good though, Trust me if I can be there I will.
Problem is it's a good £40 in petrol and I wouldn't enjoy myself being around all those goodies with my hands tied

If I were you I'd keep anything that you remember having as a kid, at least then yiu won't kick yourself later down the line! Yeah, these poxy bills near Christmas can ruin you, I sold my £3000 beloved downhill mountain bike about 6 years ago to buy a clutch for my car which I then sold about 4 months later! Gutted to say the least.

Very sad news, been in the same spot but luckly managed to escape the "have to sell"-situation thanks to a very foregiving wife......
