I'm selling all my Weller stuff and i'm a bit sad

:( I know it had to be done and it was taking up a lot of space but I've listed all my Weller items on EBay. There was 4 big boxes of things I've collected over the years, things I am never likely to get hold of again, limited stuff and all that but I'm proud of myself for doing it :D Hopefully we will make a bundle of money to go towards paying our debt so that in itself will be a good thing and I've got to think of the greater good and all that.

Just feel a bit sad that my most prized possesions are going away (well, apart from my children :rotfl: )

I haven't listed my ticket stubs though as each gig was special and meant something to me and I haven't listed my personalised autograph, is that naughty ?

Tell me peeps that i've done the right thing ?????

    I think you're entitled to keep a few 'special' souvenirs! Well done for taking the plunge and selling some things that will make good money though :T

    Congratulations weller, let's hope you can make some money. I'm an e-bay virgin and started small by listing 2 items yesterday. Nobody has shown any interest in them yet so I'm feeling a bit disheartened. Got loads here that I could see. Hope you get more interest than I've got!

    Good luck hun x

    I think you're doing the right thing, but if there are some things that you can't part with, of course you should keep them. Good luck, I hope you make loads of money!

    Well done weller, of course it's ok to keep some things, but selling stuff which just sits in a box is a great idea.

    weller I think you should defo keep your autograph, when they are personalised they don't make as much money as 'random' ones.
