Yeah, but its the ultimate guide on those obsessed with the '80's. What a cracker though. Just imagine - you collect a certain type of toy, but you can flick through the Argos catalogue and find everything associated - with the original prices! For those into this type of thing, I am sure it would pay for itself quickly....

Personally, the sooner the '80's are lost the better.... the time that fashion forgot as far as I am concerned

My bro works in a county archives: they get all manner of strange things to file away but they normally bin any duplicates due to space issues.

A few years ago he gave our old dad a pile of 1950's car and commercial vehicle brochures (in the days when heaters and even passenger seats were options! ) - maybe I'd better see if he can rustle up any more

I noticed that one. Another one a while back was a Great Universal catalogue from the 1980's but I cannot remember how much that sold for but it was around £70ish last time I looked.
SAD

They had a ladies underwear section though didn't they? Surprised it didn't go for more

Some years ago I sold issue one of Zzap! 64 magazine (Commodore 64 mag from the 1980's), with a detached cover for over £200.

If you want it you will pay...

Some of the Crash (sister mag to Zzap) mags will be worth something - but the retro computer marlet has taken a downturn in value the past couple of years once the serious collectors got all they wanted.

Hold on to them and prices will go back up again once a new generation of collectors starts buying...

I have the full collection (including binders) of Input magazine.

A weekly programming magazine for the Spectrum/Comodore 64 et al.

Might put it on e-bay and see
