There you go something else to spend your benefits on

"Mr Fenton's girlfriend, who did not want to be named" there's a surprise!

£200k for a 1000 model collection - £200 each? sounds like an insurance job in the offing.

Still if I met a woman who knew what I liked and the insisted I got rid of it, I know what would be out the door.

I have insured my Star Wars collection at £10,000.
I may have to re-value this on renewal.

Aye, but according to the article he was spending $4K a year on just one website alone - so you can assume that over the 20 years of collecting he/his parents probably spent close to the (adjusted) estimated value (not that he's even made the sale for that daft amount yet).  So the money has already been spent, and obviously there was a lot of it coming from soemwhere, it just happens to be (theoretically) recoverable.  Lets see someone try to sell 20 years worth of pints and fags, or shoes and make-up (admittedly that's about €200 a week's worth, but plenty of people spend that).  Frankly I think the woman is a bitch - who pays off their mortgage at 32? Cut back on that kind of spending and the mortgage will look after itself.

...who pays off their mortgage at 32?

Who can get a mortgage at 32 these days...!?!

At 32, the years haven't been kind to him, that'll teach him to amass an empire of plastic tat. Our own Judge Burdis excluded of course.

Dark of the Moon is expected to  significantly add to the 700miliion dollar box-office  takings. Mr Fenton, who was at a preview screening of the movie, is already booked in for another viewing of the film this weekend.

He said: 'The team have finally listened to the fans and delivered what they want, an adult version of the original cartoon, with action, adventure and a story line.
'I can only hope that a fourth instalment will not be too far away.'

I hate to be be judgmental but that says a lot.



There's always hope cybie2000.

Collectors!  You're all the same!      

(Or it could be time in the Services...)


What caught my attention here is that my own mortgage is a 32 year term, and I didn't buy until I was 33!  And I can't even pay that.

Did you see his wrongness. His stuff fills the Master Bedroom, BIG MISTAKE
