Watching and missing out

[ali15son]

Last week on ebay this appeared to bid on.



Every day i watched the price go up and up and up. The starting bide was £88.00. I would love to own this because i collect anything "the professionals related" . As i watched the price go to £175 pound my hope of owning of it came to end but i continued to watch to see how much it would finally go for. A mad scramble of bids pushed the winning bid to £312. Oh well......hopefully one day !!!!!. I remember owning the one below as a youngster. I remember that feeling at christmas time, ripping the paper off this box to reveal this.



Running around the street , this happy kid who pretended to be Bodie shooting this plastic gun and how i wish i had kept it but like most toys when you are growing up, it simply vanished. Happy days.....

That's a lot of money. I'm happy you have great memories about gifts as a little one.

I was traumatized afterwards, that was more than i was willing to pay for this set but hopefully one day i maght have a chance to add this to my collection. Remebering those childhood memories, how i wish i had kept hold of mine.

Thankyou.

Indeed and how i wish i had kept mine because the price of these now to buy is unbelievable........i am still on the look out and hopefully one day i will find one just not at the price of 312 pound.

Thankyou.

Oh wow, that's a lot of money.

Yes, the happy days of our youth. I remember I had the whole Bravo-star-poster which was made of several pieces. And some books and autographs they gave you from this youth magazine, Bravo. And I threw them away when I moved into my first flat. Silly me.

Yes, it was more than what i wanted to pay for this gun set but i hope that one day i do get a chance to buy it.

I have managed to buy some of the bravo magazines from the german ebay, what a shame that you threw them away. Have you managed to buy some back.

Thankyou.

No, I wasn't lucky so far. But I'm looking every now and then.

[ali15son.livejournal.com]

I hope that at some point you do manage to get them back.

That's a lot of money - and it must be a super fan (or a rich fan) to pay so much!
I think we all remeber childhood things we wish we hadn't thrown away - but the memories are still fun.

The buyer certainly out priced me, i was totally gutted because i would love to own this set, hopefully one day. Those childhood memories are a wonderful reminder of innocent times and enjoyable times too.

Thankyou.
