This is probably the same seller that sells at high prices on Amazon as well. |

You really believe that 1) there's a "city boy" market for 96-97 League Cup game programmes; and/or 2) "city boys" will happily overpay for such dross?
Nah, he's selling to regular, gullible, vulnerable folks who most likely can't afford to be preyed upon like this. |
I disagree . I'm with Bazza on this one. I don't think they are little old ladies with some lottery scam. Gullible or stupid yes. But Vulnerable folks who can't afford it no. I mean he has some very nice Sunderland pre war homes. And as someone has said, if you win the lottery then what the hell ? I'd buy them myself , only because I would have money to burn. This is the market the guy aims at , well at least with his rare stuff. The modern stuff, well God knows who would buy that ? Maybe he is just filling out his web page and hopes for the best.

His quality items have been on there for 10 years so clearly they haven't sold. I suspect he has sold very little. |

But the point is , he only has to sell very little. If he sells one Sunderland pre war for £2,000 he can then purchase about ten others for the same price. Then he lists them for £2,000 each and hopes to sell one in the next few years. At those prices he only needs to sell 5% of his stock to be quid's in. It's no different from the silly BINS on eBay that have been there for years. |

and if your bedroom bandits that used to be so active on this forum buy a huge box at a car boot for a tenner and sell 5 for £2 each they can also go and buy another huge box |

I must admit that at first I was a bit resentful of this fella. Then looking at the bigger picture, as wullie says here, he only needs to sell the odd item here and there, where sellers like us have to shift up to 100 items a day to make money. There must be some mug punters out there paying these prices. I would also say this fella has another source of income, no way can he make a good living charging these prices.... can he??...... _________________ new listings nearly every day, programmes form every club, every era

I think he is probably not a dealer at all . He is a collector , who likes to display what he has. He lists them for sale , knowing few will ever sell, and if they do then at least he has money to plough back into his collection. Just a thought. Every item has a price. |

Far too broad a selection to be one man's collection, surely?
He's a chancer. It's clearly not his only line of business and so, as others have said, he lists at extortionate prices and if anyone bites then it's a bonus. |

I have a pocket fold, creasing, score on the front and team changes to prove mine is real.

Unless I am missing it, there is no mention of who is behind this website, other than a telephone number and contact E Mail.
Surely anyone with a website should include details about the website owners, address etc. |

Just digging up this old thread as I came across this website again today and he’s still upto his old tricks, programmes you can’t give away are listed for £50 or more, a 50p postcard for £8 etc etc.
Do practices like this do as much damage to the hobby as people like Andy Lane? _________________ https://www.flickr.com/photos/footballprogrammes/albums |

I'm not saying this is what is happening but such a thing is perfect for money laundering, I can't see anyone buying these, not sure of what is going on but you can bet there is something dodgy involved. |

I think the speedway owner may have been persuaded to sell because of his fondness for his kneecaps. |

Looking through The King's Lynn forums it appears that Collect Soccer is or was the shirt sponsor of the Club. They were, until last season, unable to get a sponsor after 2 years of trying so the owner has just used Collectsoccer to save face. I just saw a U tube of the owner telling the locals that he had 3 offers on the table for sponsorship with many more in the offing. This was about 18 months ago and was obviously untrue. Clearly the Collect Soccer sponsorship is an internal book entry without any payment in order to keep the fans happy. I wonder how the Club is being funded because when I had football programme dealings with him in the past, he never had any money. |

Slicked back hair, sharp suit, big smile it looks like he fancies himself as a bedroom bandit
As long as he describes programmes accurately and despathes them in good time, he can ask how much he wants.Good luck to him trying to sell items for much more than they are worth |

Apologies for bumping a pretty old thread but I just wanted to share my recent experience with CollectSoccer.com. I purchased an item from them nearly two weeks ago now, my money was taken straight away but I didn’t receive any acknowledgement of my purchase and the order still just says ‘processing’. I’ve emailed their admin several times and the email address provided on their Facebook page (a Mr. Cleeve) all without reply. I also rang the phone numbers provided on their site (and their Facebook page) and they just rang out. I’m going to have to contact my bank and hopefully I can get a refund. My advice to anyone thinking of buying from them is to save yourself the hassle and AVOID. |
