unusual lots

catford

Advice needed please
I've been asked to sell 2 rather odd collections for family members and don't know the best place to sell them
One is a collection of bubble baths(about 5 or 600+).Some still have the soap in,:eek:, dating back 20 yrs.

The other is a collection of rubbers (erasers) ,blooming hundreds of them, maybe even a thousand.These were collected between 1970ish and 1990 and are all unused
Neither collection is catalogued and quite frankly I dont want to have to do it.
Would ebay be the best way to go?? Or are there any speciality sites?--has anyone sold something similar??:D

Bubble bath?! That's beyond eccentric!

Are they valuable?

I wouldn't have thought there'd be much of a market for them

Did they have a price in mind? (Don't wanna buy them :rotfl: )

If you advertise rubbers on ebay, please make sure that you emphasise “unused” in the description and listing in case any American ebayers read it.

They were collected for the containers--allegedly:rotfl:

I had a look on ebay and some b/baths go for up to a pound if the container is interesting ie Tigger or star wars etc.

The rubbers;) dont seem to get much---but then it depends on what you collect I suppose:D

I understand what you mean--even" unused "rubbers might give the wrong impression :eek: They call them erasers, don't they!
I think that the states will have more collectors of unusual stuff though;)
