Ever felt gutted that you mis-priced a programme?

[banleystowles]

I recently sold a programme from Japan on ebay for £2.85 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1607.....500wt_1287

I was browsing around and saw the same programme here http://www.collectsoccer.com/acatalog/Japan_Cup_Football_Programmes.html up for £300.

I also had an offer for a load of 2002 World Cup tickets for £15 from collectsoccer which I later sold for over £300.

I've got nothing against anyone earning a few bob, but this is a bit strong, anyone agree?

Anyone had any similar experiences?

And I know that's life, just thought it may be interesting to post this up.

i think this site has been discussed before, i would be amazed if this programme sold for £300, so don't assume you have lost £297 on this, but agree that it is probably worth alot more.
You win some and you lose some...

don't worry, the only mis price here is the stuff they are trying to sell.
Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland official programme 03/05/1967 £25 ?
I often look at this site for a good laugh

[Wullie]

Arsenal v Preston North End official programme 11/12/1937, 12 pages, in very good condition.
£300

Arsenal v Leeds United official programme 27/11/1937, only 9 pages, in mint condition
£145

They sure are comedy prices, a bit like London Transport

our case rests

Take a look at these prices for Arsenal handbooks http://www.collectsoccer.com/acatalog/Arsenal_Handbooks.html

Now I'm roaring with laughter. I wonder if the site owner comes on here, he must be a self-made millionaire

I actually valued my collection based on his prices and mines worth 27 million and i bought a box full of 80's programme yesterday so must be worth 28 million plus now

Love to know how much he pays for programmes

[Blackjack]

I was looking at the site earlier today actually and saw a Swansea v Aston Villa programmes from 65/66 season £25 !! I have looked a few times to be honest over the year and never even thought about buying anything off him. I'm glad someone else has bought this up as i thought he was well over priced as well but didn't like to say anything.

I've got a spare Swansea v Real Betis pre season programme from this year, mint condition, no folds, a bargain at £125, that includes postage though! Any interest???

I heard Sheikh Mansour, Richard Branson & Alan Sugar all have catalogue subscriptions but at only £100 for 6 issues a year who can blame them

To be fair, they are the media issue at £75. The non media issues are ONLY £25

[Tintowner]

His book section is an eye opener too. He has a 1950s Billy Wrights Soccer Scrapbook on offer for a mere £130........I sold the same item on ebay recently and thought I did well in shifting it for a fiver

[banleystowles]

Raking it in

[Wullie]

The thing is, they have some bloody good stuff among the crap, but the prices are crazy. I think they are waiting for the " i got a couple of grand and i want to "" INVEST"" in programmes but know nothing about the hobby brigade " to come along and snap their programmes up.
On this guys calculations, my programme collection will clear the national debt.

[Boroflag]

Over the years I have seen three copies of the 1980 Kirin Cup come up on eBay and they have all gone for about £60 - £85. There's a guy trying to shift one on and off at the moment at I think £98. He's had a few offers which he's turned down. Holding out I guess.

[pastpirate]

Jeez this one made me laugh. I paid under a fiver for it a couple of years ago.

Auckland v Bristol Rovers official programme 26/05/1974, match played in New Zealand, 18 pages, in very good condition. £250.

Same goes for this one

Wellington v Bristol Rovers official programme 25/05/1974, match played in New Zealand, 16 pages, in very good condition. £250.

And the fiver included the post from New Zealand.

Is the guy stupid or just very greedy.
