    A few dolls are worth £250. :eek:

    What a load of old pony. :p


    Pulliptears, I always thought you were a rock chick, not a doll collector. :D

    Haha Av, I am! You tend to find a lot of doll collectors are a little strange like me.... when they do the "show us your photo" threads on the pony board 75% of them have coloured hair and facial piercings. I fit in :D

    Why don't you get a box, put them all in that and then get a quote? Alot easier than the bin bag scenerio as most couriers will say it is inadequate packaging and won't take them.

    Back to OP - If you do end up deciding to post them, make sure that all your time and effort is recovered in the P&P charge. As I said for me, it was a bucket load of faff, and all I got was 1p - the second highest bidder was only about 20p lower, and lived locally.

    Some things are just not worth the hassle and mither.

    (Except piercings - when I had mine done, the guy stood back with a proud look on his face and said "One more of us, one less of them.")

    How can someone bid 20p less than 1p? :confused:

    Did he say he wanted 19p to take them off your hands?


    Am I being thick and missing something? It happens. :D


    PS, was it a Prince Albert you had done? :eek:

    I'm assuming you are a man, possibly wrongly.

    I got a quote on posting this today its either 2x 9.35 for royal mail std parcel which will be really difficult for me as I dont drive and theese are big .Or 2x£14.99 for parcel force. This would really put me off if I was considering bidding.
